This Quarter's theme:
 "Neutral Territory"

You want to be able to just show up somewhere gorgeous, in a climate controlled environment, with the BEST LIGHT already in place, at a time that's convenient for you, without paying an arm and a leg.  

You want to work with someone you trust and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

check it off
your to-do list. 

you just need a few photos, & you just want to look good.

we have two types of sessions

 are great for clients who need just a couple of photos of one person or one group of people. they are 200.00 and last just 15 minutes with one person or one grouping of people.  

Micro sessions

are great for clients who would like a little more time for a few more options, they last 45 minutes and cost 650. They may have multiple people they want included in the photos with multiple groupings. its a great option if you want a few more artistic options for wall art and prints

this 4th quarter "neutral territory" session is all about skin tones and beauty in diversity-  with lime-washed walls, all natural fabrics, and beautiful light, this fresh organic look can work with nearly any brand.  Three setups will be available: a desk/office scene, a lounge set (pictured), and headshot/groupshot set. Micro sessions on both thursday 17 and friday 18th, and mini sessions will be held on sunday 20th

The definition of 'soma' is 'body' - and we want to kick off our inaugural season with tones that celebrate and honor our diversity. Neutral tones inspired by skin tones will be our background, and neutral-toned attire is highly encouraged.  Micro sessions will be held on saturday the 21, and mini sessions held on sunday the 22.

Think elevated, sophisticated, and organic vibes, with a hint of winter holiday. micro sessions held on saturday the 12th, mini sessions on sunday the 13th.

*photos in this section are taken from social media sites as inspiration photos for the vibe of what we will create. they are not photographed by me, and are not my clients. 

How It Works

micro and mini sessions often sell out! book, sign, and pay to reserve your spot as soon as registration is open on
sept 8 at 10am CST

book

arrive 15 mins early to studio soma  and let me take care of the rest! micro sessions last 15 mins, and mini sessions last 45. 

shoot

you will see every image and pick out your favorites images right away! edited images are delivered within 1 week of your session.

Nope, you don't need to lose weight first. Or get your hair done. Or buy a completely new wardrobe. Or turn it into a bigger deal than it is. 

Don't overthink it. 

Just come in, and let me use professional lighting and camera equipment and styling to make you look and feel like the best version of yourself. 

You don't have to be perfect to be here

these themes will not be available next quarter

Here's the bad news 

next quarter micro/minis will be something new and beautiful!

But... we wont be repeating themes any time soon.

So if you like this quarter's theme, you need to book it now, because like all good things, it wont last. 

here's the deal. mini sessions often sell out, because there are a limited number that can be done in one weekend. To book your ideal time, you need to be ready when registration opens, select, sign, and pay for your session.  Regardless if you are booking a session as a brand, a dancer, or a family, you need to be ready on sept 6th at 10am CST to snag your spot.

02

the answers to your most common questions

Brands: you can bring your work with you! ie: florists can bring their arrangements, artists can be photographed with their artwork, etc 

03

Well behaved pets are welcome on leash! Photo studios (with our big lights on stands) aren't the most friendly for high-energy furry friends.  

04

Need more than 1 session? Go for it! Sessions are first come first serve, so you are welcome to book as many as you need

05

06

You will see ALL the photos that were taken during our session, and pick out your favorites which will be edited and delivered within a week.

Please don't book a brand shoot on a dance shoot day, or a dance shoot on a brand shoot day, etc. Our lighting is specifically set up for the type of session, so you will be super disappointed with the outcome! 

07

08

Include as many people as you'd like in your sessions! The group needs to stay together with micro sessions- However, will get as many combinations as possible within the 45 min limit of a mini session. 

If you didn't snag a session in time, there will be something different next quarter! but PLEASE JOIN THE WAITLIST in case anyone needs to transfer their session due to illness or otherwise! 

09

10

Can't make your session after you booked? Just like a concert, sessions are non-refundable, but you can transfer them to someone else! We usually have a waiting list of people hoping to snag one. 

The rumors are true- you wont see this theme again. We keep our photography fresh and current, so this is the only time you will be able to be photographed in this theme (unless, of course, you book a custom shoot). so be ready when registration opens! 

11

Your journey deserves to be documented. It doesn't matter if you are booking a family session, a brand session, or a dance session- you don't need to wait to be better,  further along, or more perfect than you are right now. 

A year from now you
will wish you documented today....

I'll say it again and again...
you dont have to be perfect to be here

so lets get it done

you can feel confident

We are all our own worst critics, but I feel confident that if you give me just 15 minutes I can help you see yourself as I see you.  if you don't end up keeping any of your photos, I will return your full session fee back, no questions asked. 

money back

Need something more custom?

Maybe you had your heart set on this theme, but didnt snag a session in time? 

Maybe you have a bigger group than a micro/mini session can reasonably accommodate?

Maybe you want to book an entire day for your whole team?
Maybe you have a different idea on styling, colors, decor, floral installations, etc., that would better suit your needs?  

Sounds like you need a custom shoot.
