Frequently Asked Questions

1) Why is there a blog now?

Great question! We used to not have a blog here because we shared updates across our Facebook Page, Instagram, BlueSky, YouTube, TikTok, and Patreon. But since our blog is now live, it’s the best place to find in-depth stories about our shoots, behind-the-scenes content, event announcements, and special offers. For quick updates and daily posts, check out our social channels. For exclusive long-form content and insider perks, consider joining us on Patreon!

2) What are your rates?

Because we offer a wide range of services and package options, rates vary. Please contact us with your needs and budget, and we’ll provide pricing tailored to your session. We aim to be the best option, not the cheapest.

3) How do I book a shoot?

Reach out via the contact form or call us with your ideas, timeline, and budget. The more details you provide, the better we can prepare. We usually respond within 24 hours.

4) Where are you located?

We’re based in Fairfax County, Virginia, but travel frequently. We’ve worked in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Miami, Chicago, and often serve the DC Metro Area.

5) What is your cancellation and deposit policy?

We generally require a non-refundable retainer to secure your booking, which helps cover studio rentals and other upfront costs. If you cancel, rebooking fees may apply to cover expenses already incurred. Please contact us for full details.

6) I’ve never modeled before. What’s a photoshoot like?

No worries! Our sessions are designed to be fun, supportive, and tailored to your personality. Whether it’s your first time or you’re experienced, we take time to get comfortable, coach you, and create a relaxed environment. We work with hundreds of models and focus on making your experience enjoyable and memorable.

7) How do I prepare for my shoot?

Here are some tips:

• Hydrate well and avoid salty foods and alcohol for a few days beforehand.

• Get plenty of rest — it shows in your skin and energy.

• Prepare outfits, props, shoes, and undergarments the night before.

• Stick to your usual skincare routine; avoid trying new products right before the shoot.

• Feel free to contact us with any questions about styling, music, or timing — we’ve got your back!

8) How long will it take to get my images?

You’ll usually see a preview gallery within 3 days. Final edits take anywhere from a few days up to 3 weeks depending on complexity. Each photo can take from 5 minutes (simple portraits) up to an hour or more (complex cosplay or event edits). We prioritize quality over speed, and we do not use AI systems to do our editing for us.

9) Do you offer retouching?

Yes! Our standard editing enhances your natural look with polished, professional retouching — no over-the-top Photoshop effects. If you want creative or dramatic edits (fantasy, surreal effects, etc.), just let us know!

10) I have a question not listed here.

No problem! Contact us anytime to discuss your specific needs. We love creating custom sessions tailored just for you.
