We understand you're nervous and having a support system with you would help ease those nerves. While we welcome guests to join you the day of your session, we do not permit your significant other during the actual shooting. We want our clients to feel open, to be vulnerable, and to step outside of their comfort zone. We also want you to be able to relax and enjoy every minute of the process.

Yes, you can bring your bestie. One fully supportive female guest over the age of 18 can be your hype girl.

In our experience, having a significant other in the room will often make women feel inhibited and distracted, and the images can reflect those emotions.

Think of it as a solo spa day meant just for you. Your partner is welcome during the hair and makeup portion of the shoot, but then we ask them to give you some privacy for the shoot and rejoin you for the image reveal if that's what you would like.

Trust Amanda when she says that her team will make you comfortable, relaxed, and make sure you have a lot of fun.
