How Long Will My Session Last?


One of the most common questions we hear is: “How long should I plan for my session?” We love that you’re already thinking ahead, because your photo day is designed to be a full experience centered around creating beautifully empowering images of you and we want you to feel relaxed and informed about your experience.

The short answer? Plan for approximately 6 hours from start to finish.

Here’s how it all unfolds:

1. Hair & Makeup (1.5 hours)
We begin the day by pampering you with professional hair and makeup. This is your time to relax, enjoy a drink from our beverage station, and let our stylist work her magic. Whether you’re going for soft and natural or full-on glam, we’ll tailor your look to match your vision.

2. The Photo Shoot (2 hours)
Once you’re feeling fabulous, we’ll head into your personalized photo session. You’ll have up to five wardrobe changes, so bring your favorite looks and we will help you pull from our extensive closet as well! From casual to couture, Cheryl will guide you through each pose and setup to capture images you’ll absolutely love.

3. Lunch Break (1 hour)
After the last flash, we’ll take a break for lunch. This is the perfect time to recharge and get excited for what comes next.

4. Same-Day Image Reveal & Selection
Once you’re refreshed, we’ll sit down together for your same-day photo reveal. You’ll get to view your images right away and choose your favorites with our help. We’ll walk you through the best options for prints, albums, or digital collections, all while keeping the vibe easy and stress-free.

So yes—this day is all about you. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, our goal is to make you feel celebrated, confident, and completely taken care of.

Still have questions? We’re happy to walk you through the details. Just reach out!
