Portrait sessions allow for more creativity, expression, and storytelling while remaining intentional and polished. Each session begins with understanding the purpose of the portraits and the tone you want to convey. Lighting is designed to create depth and mood, while direction focuses on movement, expression, and comfort. The goal is to create images that feel personal, expressive, and visually compelling.
