  • Creative Consultation + Mood boards + 30 minute Zoom call,

    • Private online gallery

    • Professional retouching

    • In-studio for a clean, crafted environment or on-location for a more natural, lifestyle-forward look.

    • Full-gallery purchase is also available if you want access to every image from your shoot.

  • Your session should feel relaxed, collaborative, and fun. If your package includes hair and makeup, you’ll start there before we move into shooting. We’ll work through your outfits, props, and locations with plenty of guidance so you’re never wondering what to do next.

    For team sessions, we rotate efficiently through individuals, groups, and candid moments to maximize your time. Whether in-studio or on location, expect a calm, structured flow that gets you a variety of looks without feeling rushed.

  • We’ll talk about your wardrobe during our consultation but a general rule is to think clean lines, layers, and neutral tones that reflect your brand. Avoid busy patterns or logos unless they’re intentional.

    Prop suggestions (books, laptops, notebooks, personal items) are welcome.

    Full wardrobe styling is available as an add-on if you’d like a professional stylist to help elevate your looks.

  • After your session, you’ll receive a private gallery with lightly edited, color-corrected proofs. Your package includes a set number of professionally retouched images, with additional retouching available if needed.

    Full-gallery purchase (unretouched, web-resolution) is also available for brands who want the entire collection.

    Turnaround is typically 7–14 business days for final retouched images.

    All delivered images include commercial usage rights so you can use them across your website, social media, and marketing materials.

Evolved Vets

In 2025 veterinarian duo Bethany and Anna decided to launch Evolved Vets—a coaching service for fellow animal professionals— and they needed more than standard headshots.

They wanted lifestyle portraits that captured them in action as both dedicated vets and savvy businesswomen. Cut to us shooting in Zilker Park and on-site at their apartment complex to create a stunning set of professional portraits for their launch.

Two smiling female veterinarians, one in pink scrubs and the other in blue, stand behind a table with a cat and a dog. The woman in pink has her hand on the cat, and the woman in blue has her hand on the dog. Both women wear stethoscopes around their necks and are smiling at the camera. The cat is mostly white with gray patches, and the dog is a large, dark brown Labrador retriever lying on the table.
