A more spacious portrait session for when you want a little more room to settle in, explore a few looks, and create images that feel current, considered, and distinctly yours.


This is for the woman who needs more than one quick update. Maybe you’re refreshing your website, stepping into a new role, preparing for press or speaking opportunities, launching something, or simply ready for photos that reflect how you want to show up now.



📍 Studio located in SoMa, San Francisco.

More room to be yourself

The Signature Portrait Session sits between a quick refresh and the full portrait experience.

You’ll have time to change looks, settle into the camera, and create a fuller set of images with range — polished enough to use across your work, but still personal, relaxed, and recognizably you.


You don’t need to know how to pose or arrive with a whole creative concept. We’ll plan the basics ahead of time, and I’ll guide you through the rest.

 

This session is a good fit if you…


  • Need updated images for your website, LinkedIn, press, or speaking opportunities
  • Want more than one look or outfit
  • Are launching something, changing roles, or stepping into a more visible season
  • Want portraits that feel more personal than a standard headshot
  • Need a small collection of images that can work across multiple platforms
  • Want a guided experience without committing to the full styling and hair/makeup process

What’s included


  • 1-hour portrait session
  • 2-3 looks / outfit changes
  • Pre-shoot planning call
  • Creative direction and posing guidance
  • Studio or agreed-upon Bay Area location
  • Online proofing gallery
  • 5 final retouched images
  • Final delivery within one week
  • Personal and commercial usage rights for your selected final images
  • Travel fee may apply for out of studio locations


Additional retouched images are available for purchase at $45 each.

What “retouched” means


Once you choose your favorites, I’ll make the finishing edits for color, tone, and the overall look of each image.


I also do light retouching for things like blemishes, flyaways, clothing wrinkles, and distracting background details. I don’t alter bodies or facial features — just a more polished version of what’s already there.

How it works

 

1. Reach Out

 

Fill out the portrait inquiry form and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. We’ll confirm the session, timing, and fee, then I’ll send over a booking link to officially save your spot.

 

 

2. Plan it out

 

Once you’re booked, we’ll have a quick pre-shoot call to talk through what you need, the overall feel, and any ideas or requests you have. We can also go over outfits, location, and what you want the images to support.

 

 

3. It’s shoot day

 

Arrive camera-ready and I’ll meet you where you are. I’ll guide you as much as you need, match your energy, and help bring out the version of you that already feels true.

 

 

4. Choose your favorites

 

After the shoot, we can review your images together or I can send a gallery for you to look through at home. Once you’ve chosen your favorites, I’ll make the finishing edits for color, tone, and overall polish. Your final images will be delivered within one week.

FAQ

 

How is this different from the Portrait Refresh?

The Portrait Refresh is a quick 20-minute session with one look and two final images. The Signature Session gives us a full hour, up to three looks, more direction, and more room to create a varied collection of images.

Is hair and makeup included?

Hair and makeup are not included with Signature Sessions, since this is still designed to be a relatively streamlined experience. You’re welcome to book your own artist before the shoot, and I’m happy to share a list of trusted hair and makeup artists.

Can I purchase more than four photos?

Yes. You’ll receive a proofing gallery after the session, and additional final edited images can be purchased once you’ve selected your favorites. $45 each

 

Can I use these for LinkedIn and my website?

Yes. These are great for LinkedIn, websites, speaker bios, press, social profiles, and anywhere else you need a current photo. Your final images include personal and commercial usage rights, so you can use them to represent yourself and your work across your platforms.

Ready for something more than a refresh?
