A sitting built around one idea — yours. I build the set, shape the light and help guide the wardrobe. You leave with digitals, a luxury metal print, and for two of the packages, your own magazine.

Eight cover sittings this fall. Evenings and weekends, September through November.

You’ve had your photo taken. You’ve never been on the cover.

A magazine-quality image is more than clicking a camera. What have you dreamed? Bring a picture in your head, a board you have been collecting, or one sentence — that is enough to start, and I will tell you honestly whether I can build it.

One sitting. Six worlds.

These six frames are one person, one afternoon, one room. A poker table, palm shadows, a fur armchair, light striped through a blind. None of it was found. All of it was built, and that is the part you are actually hiring.

Autumn — @autumnn.mariiee

Pamper yourself. Feel like a star.

You have spent the year taking care of everyone. Making sure every member of the household has their picture, but what about yours? This is the sitting where the whole time belongs to you.

  • One or multiple looks, unhurried, your favorite music
  • Nobody demanding your attention. The studio is yours the entire time.

What actually happens

We talk about the idea. Twenty minutes, by phone or email. You do not need it worked out — half a thought is plenty.

I build it. Set, lighting, props. You get the plan in writing a week ahead, so nobody is guessing on the day.

Photo Session. One to four hours at the studio, evenings or weekends. Finished digital images in three weeks, and prints soon after that.

If you don’t love the cover, you don’t pay for it.

Session refunded, no argument. I want you to be happy and would rather you told people I was fair than keep your money.

I am a Certified Professional Photographer. While my work should speak for itself, it shows I take my art seriously.

Studio on Bainbridge Island, Washington. Evenings and weekends by appointment.

Bring me your vision.

For yourself. For a concept. For a product. Tell me the idea in one sentence and I will tell you what it takes to build it.
