the Photographer
I am a photographer & creative mentor;
a mother to a preschooler;
a child of strict immigrant Filipino parents,
a rebel, the “blacksheep”.
Above all, I am a woman who’s learned to love herself and I’ll show you how.
Let’s get real; fck the self-doubt and hesitation. Together, we lean into your alter-ego by boldly celebrating your powerful, confident self. I am amazing at connecting your natural beauty through expert posing and creative portraits.
Client Transformations
1. Before The Session
We know it can be daunting to lay it all out in front of a stranger! At your Pre-Session Consult, we get to know each other better and chat about your purpose for the photoshoot.
To secure a date, a $250 non-refundable & non-transferable deposit is required.
After a date is booked, you'll receive the welcome info by email - This is a private portal for you to view all your documents and session details.
We give you a complete guide on What to Wear and an Ultimate Getting Ready Check-List.
2. At The Session
Before we begin the session, I will go through the timeline to review our plan to make sure we cover all your favourite poses / images.
I thrive on feedback! We take the time to make sure you feel absolutely beautiful and that you love your images.
I never rush but I also keep your schedule in mind. Hair & Makeup typically start at 11 am with the photoshoot to follow.
AVERAGE SESSION TIMELINE:
Hair & Makeup: 60 to 90 minutes
Photoshoot: 45 to 90 minutes
3. After your session: The Reveal
You can choose to have The Reveal on the same day OR schedule it 1 to 2 weeks after your shoot. You are then invited to come back to the studio to go over your completed photos. We chat about your experience and how you feel - it's okay to be honest!
This is a great time to discuss which images you would like printed, framed or put into an album. You'll also receive your digital images on a private website for you to download.
