If hiring an HMUA, your prep time is included in the 2-3 hour time frame. We will begin shooting as soon as you're ready and your HMUA can make changes throughout the shoot. If you're not hiring an HMUA, you're time frame will likely be closer to 2 hours, unless you're making major changes like shaving a beard, straightening curly hair, or doing glam makeup.

Short Sesh

A fast-paced session designed to give you a few stellar looks without too much fuss.

- 45-60 minutes in the studio
- Feedback available via email before your shoot
- 3-4 looks recommended, no official limit
- Arrive camera-ready
- 2 retouches included

$425

Upcoming openings:  Sunday, 10/5 at 2:40pm, Thursday 10/16 at 2pm
While there is no official limit to your looks, we work at a pace that ensures quality and will respectfully decline requests to rush through an unreasonable amount of wardrobe and backdrop changes.

One Look

If you just need a quick pick-up look, we can book you alongside one of our longer sessions. Inquire for pricing with details about your one look. We define one look as one outfit with a layer (eg: jacket) or accessory (eg: hat) option.

On-Location

We will be offering two studio locations starting in September. If you have a specific location or style of location in mind, tell us all about it! Rates are based on the time and location.

• DISCOUNTS: Referrals and Returning Clients get $25 off the Standard Session. Remind us that you’ve been in before or tell us how you heard about us when you book. Discount does not apply to shorter sessions.

• CONSULTATION ZOOM: Once you've booked your Standard Session and a date is locked in, an optional 30-minute zoom session with Allison is available to you if you want to ask questions directly, get help making a wardrobe plan, go over your wardrobe plan, or discuss specifics for the look of the shoot (or just say hi before the shoot day). 

• HOLDING FEE: A non-refundable holding fee of $150 is due upon booking. This is required to hold your appointment on our calendar. Read about our Booking and Rescheduling Policy here

• PRO HAIR & MAKEUP ARTISTRY: Hiring a pro-HMUA is great if you want to put that task in someone else’s hands. It’s 100% okay to not hire outside help if you feel confident in your own abilities. If you do hire an HMUA, we will provide extra time for you to prep at the studio for the Standard Session only. Generally speaking, sessions with HMUAs move a little slower than those without, but you often get a more diverse portfolio. More HMUA info here.

• PAYMENT PLAN: If you want some flexibility in paying for your session, we accept a payment plan through a reputable online payment system. Inquire about when you book and we'll send the details.
