Talent Photography

PORTLAND • SEATTLE • LOS ANGELES

Whether you’re just getting started or updating your book, we’ll craft a model portfolio that reflects your unique look, range, and marketability. From high-fashion edge to commercial charm, each shoot is built to move your career forward.

We work with both agency-represented and independent models, customizing each session to showcase your versatility through a thoughtfully planned mix of looks, poses, and settings.

Portfolio sessions include:

Editorial and Lifestyle Looks: Fashion-forward images with strong storytelling
Digitals (Polaroids): Simple, clean shots that showcase your natural look
Commercial Range: Smiles, movement, and energy for casting directors and campaigns
Beauty Close-ups: Crisp, detail-driven portraits to spotlight your features

Every session is guided from start to finish — from wardrobe consultations to location planning and post-shoot retouching — with a relaxed, professional approach that helps you feel confident in front of the lens.

ACTOR / MODEL FAQ

Whether you’re new to the industry or building on an established career, we’re here to make sure your shoot is smooth, fun, and results in scroll-stopping images.

Variety is key! Bring 3–5 outfits that show different aspects of your range — from commercial to editorial. Think clean lines, minimal logos, and colors that flatter. Once you book, we’ll send you our Model Portfolio Prep Guide, and during our planning call, we’ll help you select wardrobe options that align with your goals and industry standards.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring a friend, parent, or trusted sidekick. Having a supportive face nearby can make your experience even more fun — and they can help with outfit changes or behind-the-scenes encouragement.

Yes! Our Oregon City studio has a private dressing room with a full hair/makeup station and clothing rack. You’ll have space to get ready, make quick changes, and prep in comfort.

Yes, and we love that. If you already have a go-to stylist, feel free to bring them! We also have trusted stylists we work with who are experienced in headshots and model portfolio work. They can join you onsite and stay for the entire session if needed. If early access is required for prep, just let us know in advance.

We partner with talented stylists who specialize in photography-ready looks. Whether you’re after polished natural or a bit more glam, we’ll match you with someone great — or you can bring your own. If you’re doing hair/makeup onsite, plan to arrive about 60 minutes before your shoot.

We’re flexible! Sessions can be held at our studio, outdoors, or on location — whatever best fits your vision. We travel with professional lighting and gear, so we can create great images anywhere.

Yes — we always include digitals (aka polaroids) upon request. These are clean, makeup-light photos that showcase your natural look. They’re often the first thing agents and casting directors want to see.

Absolutely. You’ll receive clear direction, posing tips, and live feedback throughout the session. We’ll review images as we go to make sure we’re capturing the strongest shots. No experience? No problem — we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Most shoots run 1 – 2 hours, not including hair/makeup. If you’re adding styling, expect to be on set for about 2–2.5 hours total. Sessions move quickly, stay high-energy, and are designed to give you a wide variety of usable images.

After booking, you’ll receive links for the deposit (to secure your session) and the remaining balance, due on the session date.

If you need to cancel and reschedule more than a week before your shoot, don’t worry – your full deposit will be applied to the new date.

Last-Minute Cancellations: Life happens! If you cancel within 24 hours of your shoot or choose not to reschedule, the deposit will be retained. This helps us manage our schedule and serve all our clients effectively.

Weather-Related Adjustments: If we have to cancel an outdoor shoot due to bad weather, rest assured your deposit will be fully applied to a rescheduled session.

Your experience is our top priority. In rare cases of illness, weather challenges, equipment issues, or other unforeseen events, we may need to reschedule. We promise to work closely with you to find a suitable alternative date.

Our standard retouching includes skin smoothing, flyaway removal, teeth whitening, and glare reduction (especially from glasses). High-end Photoshop edits — like body contouring or background changes — are available for an extra fee, but we always aim to keep you looking authentic and confident.

A non-refundable deposit secures your session date. The balance is due on the day of the shoot. We’ll send invoices electronically and accept most major payment types.

Not at all. Whether you’re unsigned, just starting out, or agency-represented, we’ll tailor your session to match your current goals. And if you’re looking for agency referrals, I’m happy to suggest options based on your look and market.
