Most of my sessions take place in my studio in downtown Philadelphia, a block from Chinatown and 2 blocks from the Reading Terminal. I am available to shoot on location sessions for a fee.

You should wear clothes that fit well, styles that suit your personality and most importantly, clothes that make you feel amazing.

I shoot on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sessions begin at 10 am and last until 2 pm. Saturday sessions fill the fastest, so do not delay if you would like to book a Saturday.

Small children and male family members are welcome to join the session for the last 30 minutes of the photo session. I do not shoot newborns.

There’s no additional charge for men and boys. Additional hair and makeup fees may apply for additional women in your party. Parties over 6 may incur a studio rental fee, as a larger studio is needed for larger groups.

Yes! We specialize in magazine style editing, which means all of the images you purchase will be retouched.
