This is strategically designed for families who may have already booked a different event photographer, are having an intimate celebration without a major reception program, or are traveling elsewhere for the actual debut but still want beautiful, high-fashion portrait art to celebrate her 18th birthday.

Standalone Pre-Debut Portrait Sessions

Session Fee: $550 2-hours creative session

Are you hosting an intimate family dinner instead of a massive ballroom reception? Or perhaps you’ve already secured an event photographer, but you want a specialist to capture a high-fashion, editorial portrait gallery for her grand entrance banners, guestbooks, and invitation cards? You can book my signature Pre-Debut Portrait Experience as a completely standalone session. We will treat this like a magazine cover shoot, focusing entirely on her style, her custom gowns, and her personality as she transitions into adulthood.
