Frequently Asked Questions
Long Form Sessions are about creating with ease and truth- an expansive container for the unfolding of (y)our project.
I want to let a whole day unfold so that there is more space for the gorgeous truth of your passion/practice/business/space and those you hold there to breathe and dance.
But also so there’s time for us to have a glass of wine when the sun goes down, and maybe swap a few secrets as the work you've tended all day pauses.
Long Form Sessions are and aren’t exactly “a-day-in-your-life” sessions, though we will be honoring the days you craft with care. I'll act like a fly on the wall when I need to, and be in the middle of the action when it calls.
This very much depends on the season and my travel schedule, however, your photoshoot should be booked at least 2 weeks in advance. If there is a special date you need your pictures by, it should be booked at least 4 weeks in advance. Once you sign our photoshoot contract online and I receive the $500 deposit fee, your session is reserved.
Your video shoot should be booked 2-8 weeks in advance, depending on necessary pre-production, location scouting, and other development. Once you sign our photoshoot contract online and I receive the $500 deposit fee, your session is reserved.
For aerial artists, ff you need help choreographing your routine, this will of course need to be worked on first and will depend on your availability, skill level, and so on. We have worked with aerialists on routine/choreo development and have seen that they can last anywhere from one month to 2+ years.
Nope! First of all: 90% of my shoots take place in nature and I am always here to share my favorite secret spots with you. If I travel to your home, it would be amazing for you to share some of your favorite spots with me (since this is usually where you have the strongest connection to Mother Earth + your business or practice) and I will make sure it is a good place for us to shoot.
This is very much so a co-creative process. During the onboarding process, I will ask you to send me some of your inspirations and collect info from you via a questionnaire. Maybe these are some pictures on Pinterest or others who inspire you on their social media accounts. Save some of these images and include them in this form or share them with me during a design call (optional but encouraged). I will then create an entire moodboard filled with inspiring ideas dedicated to our shoot and add it to your client portal.
First of all: I want you to wear whatever you feel your best in. Whether that’s something very feminine that makes you feel sexy or literally what you garden in. This is YOUR experience so it is a perfect place to dress up OR down, wear a fancy dress you can’t wear often or even play with props. I can give basic direction regarding color pallet, tone, and texture (anything beyond that, we'll have to bring in a stylist).
There is no need to get naked, you can intuitively decide how much skin you want to show during the shoot. Everything is welcome! If you need help deciding, I can be your sounding board and gentle guide.
Preferably, whatever is truest to you within your everyday or best fits within the story you're sharing (and the color pallet of the project). Other factors to consider are weather, movement and restriction of clothing, length of time, etc.
This is a documentary style session so it'll run a bit differently than be just listing poses. You do not need any prior knowledge whatsoever and we will make it fun and experimental. Once we start to shoot I'll intuitively guide you throughout the entire experience! And it's called an experience for a reason- we will laugh, talk, move, and maybe even groove together. Trust in the process- any nervousness will fall away quickly.
YES! If you've opted to get only a set number of images, I will send you a personal online gallery with all unedited pictures for you to choose from. There will be your opportunity to purchase more pictures than the number you originally anticipated -because you will most likely want a bit more ☻
Our contract states that I am allowed to use your pictures for any marketing purposes, including B2B. For my feminine sessions, HOWEVER, I will not share any nude photos of you without asking your permission first! That being said, you can always talk to me about everything and we will always find a solution!
For businesses, white label / extended commercial licensing is available.
No, I won’t Photoshop or alter what is real and true for you. I am here to capture moments of your raw beautiful self. I don’t care about society's views on 'beauty'- I care about the beauty that you bring to your life and to my life.
I will however retouch temporary blemishes like bruises and acnes. My rule of thumb is 'anything that will be gone in 2 weeks can be edited/retouched.' I accept retouching requests as well, but on a case by case basis.
Yes! I'm well-traveled, based in both the Algarve (Portugal) and NE Florida (USA), and happy to co-create worldwide! This would entail a travel + stay fee which I will calculate based upon the location. For shoots that aren't local to my travel calendar, I do require 3 nights minimum or an artist's residency.
