Having your first professional photoshoot can be incredibly exciting, and it's perfectly normal to feel a little nervous or unsure of what to expect. That's where MJ truly shines!

Here's why your first photoshoot with MJ will be an absolute breeze:

Expert Guidance Every Step of the Way: MJ isn't just an award-winning photographer; she spent 20 years gracing magazine editorials, covers and advertisement as a fashion model. This unique background gives her an incredible eye for detail and the ability to guide you into poses that flatter your figure and showcase your natural beauty. She'll be there to coach you throughout the entire session, making sure you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.

Unlocking Your Inner Star: Think of MJ as your personal cheerleader! Her experience as a model means she understands the power of posing and can help you unlock your inner star. She'll guide you through different poses and expressions, but ultimately, the focus will be on capturing your unique personality and essence.

A Fun and Relaxing Experience: MJ's passion is creating a fun and stress-free environment for her clients. She knows how to make you feel comfortable and at ease, so you can truly enjoy the experience. By the end of the photoshoot, you'll be wondering why you ever felt nervous!

There's a world of difference when you choose MJ for your first photoshoot. Her award-winning photography skills combined with her extensive modeling experience create a truly unique and empowering experience. You'll walk away with stunning photos that capture your confidence and beauty, all while having a ton of fun in the process!

Absolutely! Guiding you on posing and expression during the shoot is one of my specialties, and it's an area where my 20 years of experience as a fashion model comes in particularly handy.
Here's the thing: feeling natural and confident in front of the camera doesn't always come easily. But as a former model, I've learned all the tricks to flattering poses, subtle adjustments that make a big difference, and how to evoke genuine expressions that capture your true personality.

Yes! We have a talented all-female team of professional retouchers who will carefully edit your images.
Our standard retouching style focuses on removing temporary imperfections from the skin and body, such as blemishes, bruises, or scrapes, while preserving permanent features such as tattoos, birthmarks, etc. This editing process is applied to all digital images. If you wish to request additional editing, you'll have the opportunity to do so during your photoshoot. Some slimming and wrinkle removal may be extra fee.

Having loved ones by your side during your photoshoot can be a wonderful way to add to the positive experience. Here's what to keep in mind:
Your Comfort Matters Most:
The most important factor is that you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot. If having friends or family present would make you feel less at ease or self-conscious, it's perfectly fine to come solo!
Supportive Squad Welcome:
If you do decide to bring friends or family, please ensure they understand the importance of being respectful and supportive. Their role should be to cheer you on, not interrupt the flow of the session, or make any negative comments.
Open Communication:
We recommend discussing expectations with your friends or family beforehand. Let them know that Mj will be guiding you with posing and direction, and their presence is to offer encouragement, not take over the creative process.
Ultimately, the decision is yours! If you think having a supportive friend or family member present would enhance your experience, Mj is happy to welcome them as long as they understand photoshoot etiquette.

Crafting Your Keepsake: Once you have your digital photos, you must choose your favorite 20 images and we will create a digital preview of your premium Leather Album or Modern Frame Print within 2 weeks. This allows you to review and personalize your masterpiece before it goes into production. Look out for an email requesting your approval.

The Finishing Touches: After you give your thumbs up, allow 4 weeks for printing and delivery of your album or print. We take pride in creating high-quality keepsakes, and this careful process ensures you receive something truly special.

Transparency First: While we strive for efficiency, unforeseen delays in production or shipping can sometimes occur. We cannot guarantee exact arrival dates, but rest assured, we'll keep you updated throughout the process. Prompt communication on your end will also help us get your keepsakes to you as quickly as possible.

A contract is essential for protecting everyone involved when it comes to usage of images. Here's why:
It's a Win-Win for Everyone:
The contract provides you, the client with a clear understanding of the usage rights. It specifies exactly how they can use the images for commercial purposes related to their brand, preventing any confusion or potential copyright infringement issues down the road.
Sets Expectations Upfront: A contract establishes clear expectations for both parties. It details things like the number of images included in the license, any additional fees associated with extended usage, and the timeframe for delivery. This transparency helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures a smooth working relationship.
Think of it as a Roadmap for Success:
Imagine navigating a journey without a map. It outlines the terms of the commercial license, ensuring everyone is on the same page.
Without a contract, the journey becomes uncertain. Unclear terms can lead to confusion about usage rights, potentially resulting in disputes or even copyright infringement claims.

Get ready to relive the magic! Within 7 days or less after your photoshoot, we will schedule a fun Zoom call to review all your stunning images together. This is your chance to see every amazing shot and pick your favorites!

During the call, I'll be there to guide you through the selection process. We'll narrow down your top choices, and I can offer my professional advice to ensure you capture all the special moments you cherish. Once you've chosen your top 3 (or more, if you can't decide!), I'll upload them to a secure password protected private Pixieset gallery for easy downloading directly to your inbox within 15 business days.

Pixieset is a secure and user-friendly platform that respects your privacy. It's the perfect way to access and share your beautiful photos with loved ones.

To prepare for your amazing photoshoot, here are a few things to keep in mind:

What to Wear: We'll be discussing outfit options in detail before your shoot! Mj is happy to provide guidance on what will look best and make you feel fabulous. Think about bringing a few of your favorite fashionable pieces – bold dresses, flowy skirts, or stunning swimsuits – and we can explore how to incorporate them into stunning looks.

Accessorize with Confidence:
The same goes for accessories! Feel free to bring along some statement jewelry – think chunky necklaces, or eye-catching earrings. Mj will help you select pieces that complement your outfit choices and enhance your overall look.

Ultimately, the goal is to create a style that reflects YOU.
During your pre-consultation with Mj, you can chat about all your ideas and brainstorm outfits that will leave you feeling confident and ready to shine!

The location for your photoshoot is all about creating the perfect backdrop for your vision. Here are some exciting options to consider:

Embrace the Outdoors:
Do you have a favorite park with stunning scenery? Let's chat about capturing your essence in a beautiful outdoor location. Mj is happy to explore various options with you to find the perfect spot that complements your desired look and theme.

Home is Where the Heart (and Photoshoot) Is: Feeling most comfortable in your own space? No problem! Mj can bring her professional backdrops and lighting equipment to create a mini studio right in your home. This can be a great option for a more intimate and relaxed photoshoot experience.

Studio Spotlight: For a controlled lighting environment, renting a studio for a few hours is another fantastic choice. Mj can work her magic in this setting to achieve specific lighting effects and create a truly unique atmosphere for your photos.
The Key Ingredient: Natural Light
No matter which location we choose, natural light is always a key ingredient in Mj's photography. She'll work with the available light to create stunning, natural-looking photos that capture your beauty and personality.

Let's Discuss Your Vision!

During your pre-consultation with Mj, you can chat about your style preferences, desired mood for the photos, and any specific location ideas you might have. Together, you can decide on the perfect setting that brings your photoshoot vision to life!
