PERSONALIZED MODELING PORTFOLIO
Natural, Personal, Striking
I specialize in fashion, editorial, advertising, commercial, celebrity and beauty photography taken on location, or in the studio. During our personal session consultation we will go over your brand goals and decide on number of looks, and the need for additional services such as hair and makeup professional, stylist, etc.
For new models I recommend ‘four looks’ package to build a winning model portfolio, with looks just right for you. If you already have a portfolio, we can plan new looks to expand your marketability to specific agencies or agents. For high fashion looks, styling is available for additional charge.
Your modeling portfolio is there to identify you, to serve as your introduction, to connect with agencies, clients and convey to them your potential. In our digital, or printed world, in most cases your modeling portfolio is your first impression and I am dedicated to make this first impression count.

YOUR SESSION GUIDE
Thank you for entrusting me to take photographs for your modeling portfolio.
Siobhan xox
Is it the looks or your camera skills? Both!
If you are new to modeling I can guide you through this process. I would be honored to be part of your modeling journey.
Vision, Goals & Branding of your modeling portfolio
Schedule a free session consultation prior to booking the session and answer a short session questionnaire I will send you.
Once I have an idea of what you want to do, I can suggest outfits and locations that would be best to achieve your vision.
Take your time to write your ideas for the photoshoot down. Search the internet for fashion photography or modeling portfolios and pin images you like to pinterest.com, or save and email them to me. We will go over them to create the vision for your session.
STYLING IS IMPORTANT
Make sure the outfits are comfortable to wear.
However, whatever you bring make sure it is clean and ironed. If your clothes are wrinkled and stained this will show up in the photos.
I can help with styling:
Contact me if you are not sure what to wear. I will consult with you about the look and feel you want for your shoot.
Every client is different and this is what makes each photo shoot unique.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water prior to the session, to help your skin to glow.
Haircut: If you are considering haircut before the session, do it at least a week before.
Clothing: Choose clothes that fit and compliment you, if you are unsure, consider a stylist.
Food: Bring some snacks, and water.
Directions: Check the directions to the location prior to the session and make sure you know how to get there.
Considerations for modeling portfolio.
I specialize in fashion, editorial, advertising, commercial, celebrity and beauty photography taken on location, or in the studio.
WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION
I will come early and do a location scout suggest the most interesting, and will send you GPS location of the session.
There are many beautiful locations on our beaches, preserves, parks or hills around San Diego county.
WHAT IS THE PHOTO SESSION LENGTH
1. the number of looks / outfit changes you are going to choose
2. how experienced you are with modeling
3. number of locations
4. if you choose hair/makeup professional
AFTER THE SESSION
You can also purchase all high resolution images from the session for additional fee.
From the online gallery you can share these photos with your friends and family, or buy prints, canvas, mounted prints, metal prints of images, with various sizes. Final images can be downloaded as High Resolution images (300dpi JPG) ideal for printing, or in addition you can choose to download Web-Size (1024px) ideal for sharing on social media.
Images are developed by specialized lab, color corrected for optimal printing to deliver exceptional quality products.
BEST TIME FOR THE PHOTOSHOOT, GOLDEN HOUR
Keep in mind your child’s nap and eating schedule.
The important factor in photography to consider is light, specifically what is the source and temperature of the light?
In the studio I control the light, thus we can schedule the session based on availability.
On-location (outside) I recommend early morning or late afternoon have warmer light and longer shadows creating dramatic effects.
The best time to schedule a family photography session is the Golden Hour, one hour before the sunset.
Golden Hour .. what is it?
Golden Hour is known among photographers for it’s special warm light qualities. The effects of the golden light present on the subject, the landscape, the sky and over the sea enables myriad of creative possibilities.
We would meet about 1 hours prior to sunset, to leave ample time to get setup, walk to the beach, or park and have a memorable session.
Some of the beach locations are best at low tide, some at high tide. I will balance the Golden Hour with the tides to make sure we choose the right beach, so we have still some sand to walk on.
BEACH SAFETY
Please make sure you watch after you and your family’s safety on the beach, and supervise children closely.
PERSONALIZED IMAGE RETOUCHING
What retouching is included in the Session Package by default?
I retouch images after you have selected the “Final” images from the photoshoot. Retouching is a time consuming process that requires me to inspect and adjust each image.
Included is minor skin smoothing and fixing any minor glitches from the photoshoot.
For example sometimes you may have a perfect image but one piece of hair is covering your forehead – we will remove it. You may have a skin blemish that showed up the morning of the shoot – we will remove it
What retouching is outside of the scope of Session Package, not included in the price?
Body reshaping/enhancements, chin fixes, face sculpting, scar removal, eye and teeth whitening are all personalized portrait retouching requests outside of session packages offered. I do offer this level of personalized portrait photo retouching for $35 per image.
