Reserve a Spot
Two weekends of fall light.
Sunrise, golden hour, and you.
October 16, 17 and 18, and again October 24 and 25. Mini sessions at sunrise and sunset, or a full portrait experience designed around you. Families, couples, children, maternity, branding, or just you.
Pick the one that fits your fall.
A mini session is quick, beautiful, and comes with no image minimum: you buy only the ones you love. A Full Experience is the whole thing: hair and makeup, a custom design, and up to two hours with us.
25 minutes. Sunrise or sunset.
- 25 minutes of photography at one of our vetted fall locations
- Sunrise and late afternoon sessions on each of the five dates. Pick your exact date and time on the calendar below and pay your retainer in the same step
- First sunrise slot and last sunset slot each day are golden hour
- No images included and no minimum purchase. After you view your edited gallery, buy one or buy them all: $75 each, or the full gallery for $1,000
- Your retainer reserves your date and time, the session itself, and the editing afterward. It is separate from any image purchase and is non-refundable
Only open times are shown. Once a time is booked it disappears from the calendar, so what you see here is always current. If you would rather book a Standard time, switch tabs above.
Hair, makeup, and up to two hours.
- Professional hair and makeup included
- Up to 2 hours of photography, scheduled around the best light
- We choose your portrait package together in advance, then design the session to capture exactly those images
- A custom design consultation: wardrobe, location, and the artwork you want to end up with
- Minimum package investment is $1,500. The $500 booking retainer reserves your date, the session, and the editing. It is separate from your package and is non-refundable
Your time is confirmed the moment your retainer goes through, and you will get a confirmation by text and email right away. Spots are first come, first served.
Six spots a day. Five days. Thirty total.
Morning sessions begin fifteen minutes after sunrise. Afternoon sessions wrap up about thirty minutes before sunset, when the light is at its softest. The calendar above always shows which of these times are still open.

Simple on purpose.
Pick your time
Choose golden hour or standard, pick your date and time on the calendar, and pay your retainer. Full Experience clients book with the $500 retainer and we schedule together.
We get you ready
You get a confirmation right away. Before your session we share the location and answer wardrobe questions.
Show up and enjoy it
We direct every pose. You just have to arrive. Full Experience clients arrive to hair and makeup.
Your private reveal
Mini clients see their edited gallery and buy only what they love. Full Experience clients see the artwork we designed together.

Nicole · Northern VirginiaWhere are the sessions?
At one of a few fall locations we have scouted in the Fairfax area. We share the exact spot when we confirm your time.
What if it rains?
We watch the forecast closely and will move you to another open slot that weekend. If the whole weekend washes out, your retainer carries to a new date.
How many images will I see?
Mini sessions typically produce fifteen to twenty-five finished portraits to choose from. Nothing is included and there is no minimum. You buy only what you love, at $75 each or $1,000 for everything.
Can I bring my dog, my parents, my kids?
Yes to all of it. Tell us who is coming when we confirm your time so we plan the posing.
Is hair and makeup included in a mini?
Not for minis. It is included in every Full Experience, along with a wardrobe plan from your design consultation.
I want something bigger than a mini.
That is the Full Experience. We choose your portrait package in advance (packages begin at $1,500) and design the whole session around it. Book above, or reserve a complimentary phone consultation first.
Let’s talk it through.
Fifteen minutes on the phone, no pressure. We will help you pick the right session and the right light.
