FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I want to provide my clients with guidance before, during, and after their sessions with me. If you have a question that isn't covered on this page, don't hesitate to drop a line.
I DON’T THINK I AM PHOTOGENIC, CAN YOU TAKE A GOOD PHOTO OF ME?
Most clients who experience portrait sessions with me are everyday women, not models. 99% of them express that they are not photogenic. Just be yourself, relax and leave all the work to me. I shall gently guide you through many authentic and natural poses. My goal is to create the best ​portraits you had ever seen of yourself. I am an expert at finding the most flattering angles for any body type.  I want to help you feel like a supermodel, feel celebrated and most of all: have fun!
DO YOU OFFER HAIR AND MAKE-UP SERVICES?
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Yes, Professional Makeup & Hair styling can be provided on demand. I work with select professionals whom I trust with outstanding results every time!
As soon as we confirm that your session is booked I will send you a PDF with plenty of information on how to prepare. It will cover a lot more than just outfit choices. You can also reach out to me for my input regarding clothing.  Once I know what you are bringing with you for your portraiture session I will be able to map out background choices as well as lighting style.
OK I AM READY FOR IT! HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION?
You may contact me by filling out this form or directly via e-mail: info@puremuseportrait.com
After I receive your inquiry we’ll schedule a time for your complimentary phone or in person consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss all of the details regarding your shoot including clothing, styling, hair/makeup, and more!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? DO YOU OFFER FINANCING?
Although, each session is custom, the booking fee of $300 for a luxury portrait session is standard. The session fee covers an entire session as well as in-person reveal. Please inquire for more information on products and packages.

​Flexible no interest payment plans available.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY SESSION?
Once your session has been confirmed, a reservation payment is required to secure the date.  At this time we accept e-transfers, checks, credit or cash.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?
An incredible experience takes time to plan and prepare. I give each client my full attention, for this reason, I accept a limited number of sessions per month. I like to book sessions 2-4 weeks out. However, if you are in a time crunch I will do my best to fit you in and make sure all the bases are covered. If you need a Saturday session that is prime time and I recommend contacting me 1-2 months prior.
HOW LONG WILL MY SESSION TAKE?
Most of my sessions last between 2-4 hours. We start in the morning, around 10 or 11 am. Makeup application can takes about 45-60 minutes per person.
MAY I BRING ANYONE WITH ME TO MY SESSION?
Of course! You can bing you mom, sister, daughter or best friend! Celebrate your relationships and have some fun together! Your significant other is welcome to join the session too.
DO YOU PROVIDE THE DIGITAL IMAGES?
Everything you'll choose will come in both: digital (highest resolution) and print form (5x7 matted print ready to frame) The prints on my reveal wall will be ready to go home with you that day. Digital images will be e-mailed to you. Any wall enlargement orders or other products will be placed soon there after and can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks depending on the product.
WILL YOU FIX MY IMPERFECTIONS?
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ON LOCATION?
I will be happy to remove any impermanent blemishes that you are concerned about, however I will never dramatically alter anything about how you physically look. Please do let me know your desires and I will address whatever necessary and make sure you look your best, yet look like yourself.
I love to photograph equally in the controlled lighting studio as well as at the outdoor natural light locations. The choice is yours. Creativity is mine. Unique locations are welcome!
HOW SOON WILL I RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
Couple weeks after your Portrait session you’ll return to my studio for an in person Reveal & Ordering session, purchasing those portraits you love from about 30-40 final fully edited portraits. What you spend at the end will be entirely up to you! My policy is "Buy only what you absolutely LOVE!”  Whether you choose to take home 1 portrait or all - the choice will be yours!
Express Headshot sessions usually have 48 hour turnaround.
