Here’s how we do it
We know stepping in front of a camera can make people feel vulnerable, so we take our time to make this experience as comfortable and as true-to-you as possible. Every detail is carefully thought out, from our first chat to the moment you see your photos for the first time. Here’s how we make it happen:
Step 1
In-person consultation
We kick things off with a consultation—think of it as a friendly sit-down (whether in person or via Zoom) where we can get to know you and your vision. This isn’t just about talking logistics; it’s about understanding your style, comfort levels, and aspirations for this experience. We’ll talk about what inspires you, excites you, or worries you, so we can tailor this experience just for you. By the end, you’ll feel like we’re friends who just can’t wait to capture this amazing side of you.
Step 2
Glamming up
Once we’re set with your vision, it’s time for a little “you” time. Zeynep will guide you through every step, from helping you choose the perfect outfit to ensuring that the setting and vibe reflect your unique style. Our talented hair and makeup team will expertly highlight your natural beauty without making you feel like you're looking at a stranger in the mirror. You, but glowing.
Step 3
Photo viewing
In about 2-3 weeks, you’ll have the chance to view your portraits in person if you're near San Diego or in Southern California. For those further away, we’re happy to arrange a Zoom viewing where you can preview your photos from the comfort of home. Pick your favorites, and then let's discuss creating custom wall art or albums to display these memories. It’s a fun, heartfelt part of the journey that allows you to celebrate who you are.
Step 4
Selection
Once you’ve chosen the images you like the most, we’ll help with any finishing touches to ensure your favorite images are flawless. Then, during our final meeting, you’ll hand-pick the photos that mean the most to you. Whether you're looking for bold, classy, or beautifully candid shots, our photos will authentically represent the one-of-a-kind person you are.
