Glamour Portraiture


I Believe …..

that every woman deserves to feel beautiful.  YOU deserve to look and feel amazing.  Glamour photography to me is about enhancing the gorgeous bits  and disguising those bits that might cause a little angst.  Most of us have them.  Most of us do not feel photogenic at all.  That’s because the photos we have all had taken of us have been taken at the wrong angle, with bad lighting, our faces aren’t made up and those dark circles under our eyes have somehow been enhanced.  We are not taught how to pose to minimise the wobbly bits.

Years ago, a friend of mine talked about photographing me.  I loved the idea of a glamour portrait session, but I never got around to it because I was scared.  I wanted to look gorgeous and glamorous, but I didn’t have the confidence in myself.  So, years later, I have worked out how to make just about any woman feel gorgeous and stunning.

The Session…..

Your journey to a collection of stunning images of you begins the moment you book your session with me. I will coach you all the way.  Your wardrobe selection, your beauty makeover, your hair.  Your session may take place at your home, a hotel room, or at my home studio.  If you do your own makeup, I will help you with your selection and application, or, for an additional fee you can relax, knowing a professional hair and makeup artist will weave their magic.

During the session we will go over you wardrobe and select 4 or 5 outfits.  I will coach you with the most flattering poses and we shall have a bit of fun being in our own fashion shoot.

After the session I will select 25 of the best of the best images and work my re-touching magic on each and every one of them.  You will be invited to view the images and I will have a box of tissues handy as you may have a tear in your eye when you see how beautiful you really are.  

Pricing…..

A 3 hour Glamour Portrait session with me is $180.  This fee includes the pre-shoot wardrobe, hair and makeup consultation.  To upgrade to a professional hair and makeup artist, there is an additional fee of $50.
