What is the From the Ashes experience all about?

From the Ashes is more than just a photoshoot—it’s a transformative, luxury experience designed to help you reconnect with your power, celebrate your journey, and fully embrace your worth. Whether you're reclaiming confidence, honoring growth, or simply celebrating yourself, this experience is all about seeing yourself in a whole new light.

What makes this a luxury portrait or boudoir experience?

This isn’t a quick session with a few digital files—it’s a curated, all-inclusive journey. A luxury experience means:

• Personal styling guidance and prep materials

• Professional hair & makeup with pampering service

• Confidence coaching and guided posing

• Same-day reveal and product design

• Custom artwork, albums, and display options

You don’t just leave with stunning images—you leave transformed.

Do I have to know how to pose or be confident in front of the camera?

Not at all! I will gently guide you through every pose, angle, and expression. My job is to help you feel supported, comfortable, and confident—no modeling experience required.

What should I wear to my session?

We'll go over wardrobe during your pre-session consult, and you’ll also receive a personalized prep and style guide. Whether you’re drawn to bold lingerie, cozy sweaters, or statement gowns, I’ll help you choose outfits that reflect your vision and make you feel incredible. I also have an ever-growing client closet so if you struggle to find something you love, I will have options available for you.

Is professional hair and makeup included?

Yes—every session includes hair and makeup to help you feel pampered and photo-ready while still looking like your authentic self.

Where do sessions take place?

I don’t use a single studio—instead, each session is thoughtfully matched with a private, curated location that suits your vision. Depending on your style and comfort level, I may book a gorgeous rental studio, a luxury hotel suite, a styled AirBnB, or even take you outdoors into nature for an adventurous, wild-hearted shoot.

Together, we’ll choose a space that feels safe, inspiring, and aligned with the energy you want to bring to your session. Every detail is planned with intention to help you feel fully seen and empowered.

I’m nervous. Is that normal?

Yes—and you're not alone. Most of my clients come in nervous and unsure, but they leave feeling empowered, emotional, and in love with who they are. This space is judgment-free, shame-free, and 100% about you.

How do you work with women who struggle with body image?

You're not alone—many of my clients come in with insecurities or fears about being photographed. From the moment we connect, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are.

We talk through your concerns ahead of time, and during the session, I guide you with empowering direction, flattering poses, and intentional lighting that highlights your natural beauty—not just what you see in the mirror, but what you feel when you're finally seen through a loving lens.

This experience is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you see that you were never broken in the first place.

Will my images be shared publicly?

Only with your full consent. I deeply respect your boundaries and privacy. You decide what stays personal and what can be shared.

Can I bring a friend or partner to my session?

For boudoir sessions, I recommend coming solo to stay fully present and immersed in your experience; unless of course, it is a couples session with both parties consenting. For certain portrait sessions, we can talk about guest options during your consultation.

What are your pricing and payment options?

I believe every woman deserves this kind of empowering experience—no matter her budget. That’s why I offer a variety of flexible options:

• Interest-free payment plans that can be customized to fit your needs

• A 40% discount for clients who choose to pay in full at the time of booking

• A subscription service for those who want to experience multiple sessions per year with ongoing access to images and exclusive perks

During your consultation, we’ll go over each option in detail and find what works best for you. Your healing and self-celebration should never be out of reach.

How far in advance should I book?

Sessions often book out several weeks or months in advance. To ensure your ideal date, I recommend scheduling your consultation early. Want first dibs on availability? Join my VIP email list for early access and exclusive offers.

How long is the session, and when do I see my photos?

Your full experience (hair, makeup, and session) usually lasts 3–4 hours. You'll see your images the same day during a personalized reveal and ordering appointment—no waiting weeks to view your beautiful portraits.

Do you offer albums, wall art, or other products?

Yes! I offer a stunning line of custom-designed albums, folio boxes, and wall art. You’ll get to touch and feel product samples and we’ll design something that reflects your story and style.
