FAQ
Where are you located?
We're located in south-west Montana and shoot in the Helena, Butte, Bozeman, Livingston and Billings areas.
Do you have a studio?
Yes, we have a studio located in Belgrade close to the Yellowstone International Airport. We also have a complete portable studio. Which means we can travel anywhere and shoot on location.
(See studio tour video at bottom of page.)
Do I have to be 18 years old or older?
No. However if you are under 18 you MUST, NO EXCEPTION have a parent or legal guardian with you during the entire shoot and legally able to sign a model release form on your behalf.
Do I have to provide my own outfits/costumes?
Yes, you are responsible to provide your own outfits and costumes.
Do I have to do my own hair & make-up?
Yes, you are responsible to have your hair & make-up done if you are purchasing the Mini Package. Hair & Makeup is included in all the other packages.
What type of images do you to take?
This completely depends on what you want. We work with you and your "comfortability factor", we do not require or ask anyone to do anything that they are not comfortable with.
I’m worried about acne/cellulite/stretchmarks. Do you retouch your images?
Yes, we retouch all edited images. we remove scars as requested, acne, blemishes, stretch marks and cellulite in addition to bruises and any other random marks you may have on the day of your shoot! We don’t “take off pounds” or do “body shaping.” We work with you to find the most flattering poses and lighting to highlight your best features. If there’s something you feel particularly self-conscious about, let us know.
I’m not as thin as, (I don’t look like, ect…) the models on your website. Will it still be a good shoot?
Absolutely! As you can understand, not everyone we work with has their images posted online, so you may not see a model who looks just like you. We photograph people of all ages and sizes. The women on my website are real women just like you.
I'm not a model, I don’t know how to pose. Can you help?
This is by far the biggest concern we hear! Don’t worry, we work with you through every pose during your session. Note that posing will NOT feel like just another afternoon of lounging around. We tell everyone that if the pose feels a little weird, they’re probably doing it right! There are classic poses that most everyone wants to incorporate and there may be some new poses that you may want to try.
Can I bring someone with me?
Sometimes your best friend is exactly what you need to calm your nerves and give you the reassurance you need to get started with your session! We don’t mind if you bring one girlfriend along with you! We ask that the friend not interfere with the shoot, running in to “touch you up” in between every shot, directing your posing, etc… as we will handle anything along those lines that needs to be done.
Significant others are encouraged NOT hangout at the studio during your shoot.
Why? Even the most loving and supporting significant other can have an unintentional affect on you. You want to be able to move without doubt or insecurity. Having an audience of someone whose approval matters so much to you, will make you feel more self-conscious and insecure. If your partner wants to meet us to ensure that you're in a safe environment, they are more than welcome to come in and meet us when you arrive.
Want to do one better than having your girlfriend there for moral support? Why not book shoots back to back so you can both enjoy the experience together?! Availability, pending, of course.
