This is a photo-session like no other: enjoy being pampered and looking beautiful; parade your favorite outfits; experience the true celebrity status; get ready to see how stunning you really look. 

• Location: your Platinum Session entitles you to take your photographs in any special location of your choice*. Are you an urban girl, or would you like to be captured in nature?  Do you like the clean lines of a studio shoot or the complex patterns of a glamorous location?  Would your brand look best in your office or would you rather convey the personal side in the comfort of your home? We can find the best location to create the art pieces of your dream.
• Questionnaire: I hope you already filled in your Questionnaire, helping us to learn more about you, your preferences and personality traits.  Your favorite music, characters, movies, activities, sports - everything that helps us connect and capture the real authentic you - one and only.
• A week before the session: 
  • Select your outfits  (check out our What To Wear Style Guide),
  • get your haircut/roots done,
  • if you like sun-tanning - time to get started on it.  If you've never tried it, it's a good idea to skip it altogether.  Suntans look stunning in portraits; sunburns do not - error on cautious side to avoid the look that is unnaturally dark for you. 
  • Send your outfit to the dry cleaners to be washed/pressed to eliminate wrinkles. 
• 2-3 days before the session:
  • Time to wax,
  • sunspray (if you were planning for it),
  • and get your manicure done.  Pick a color that is not too bright and compliment (not contrast) your outfit. 
  • Keep your diet and lifestyle healthy - the more relaxed and comfortable you feel, the better you will look!
• One day before the session!
  • Pack your outfits, accessories, hats, scarves.
  • Shave
  • Get plenty of rest and beauty sleep! 
• On the day of the session:​​​​​​​
  • Wash your hair
  • Moisturise your skin and wear your favorite foundation if you have one
  • If hair and makeup are included, then grab your favorite lipstick, your outfits and head down our way!
  • If your hair are not included, create a hairstyle of your choice (ideally - the one you love when you are going out)
  • If your makeup is not included, finish it the way you prefer.  Please keep makeup natural, and contouring to a minimum.  No blush or shimmer - we can always add it later.
• No cameras are allowed during your session. We understand this is a momentous time in your life that you want to capture. However, we are working very hard to create unique, artistic images for you and another camera in our midst is distracting and uncomfortable for the artist. Please respect copyright and the artist’s individual creation and do not take pictures during your session.

• Time to Enjoy your special experience!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email us. Thank you and congratulation!
