Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “legacy portrait”?

When we say legacy, we mean something timeless—creating magazine-worthy images you'll treasure forever. Whether you're coming in solo, as a couple, a family, or a mother-daughter duo, we’ll craft portraits that reflect your vision—whether it’s a Vanity Fair look, Vogue editorial, relaxed and natural, or something entirely your own.

Do you require a deposit to book a session?

Yes. A $750 retainer secures your design consultation and covers your complete portrait experience: wardrobe styling review, professional hair and makeup, unlimited outfit changes, your full photo session, and your image reveal. At the reveal, you’ll choose your favorite images. They’re purchased separately, and you'll receive a $500 credit from your retainer toward your image collection—delivered in a custom folio box with complimentary matted prints. You can also choose from luxury wall art or a Signature Art Book—the ultimate way to preserve your precious memories.

How much do legacy portraits cost?

A la carte images range from $225–$500 depending on quantity, but most people opt for a collection to get more images for less. Collections start at $2,500, with the average spend between $3,000–$5,000. In the end though, how much you spend is entirely up to you. There's no hard sell or pressure here: you only buy what you love! Our job is to create beautiful images, so you will love them all!

Can I order wall art from my session?

Absolutely. We offer museum-quality wall art and collections handcrafted in Italy—pieces you’ll be proud to display. Once you’ve selected your favorite images, we’ll create a custom mock-up to show how they’ll look on your walls. Available in sizes up to 30x45, these aren’t just décor—they’re lasting expressions of you, designed to be admired for generations.

Do you offer headshots?

Yes! We offer professional headshots during our Express Day sessions—quick, polished, and perfect for busy professionals. Held periodically in our studio, these sessions include professional hair and makeup, up to three outfit changes, and same-day image selection.

What’s the pricing for headshots?

Headshot pricing starts at $375 for the first two images, with additional images available at $290 each.

I can’t make it to an Express Day. Can I still book a headshot session?

Of course. We offer fully customized headshot sessions for those who need more flexibility or a more tailored approach. These are scheduled separately and billed at our standard portrait session rate.

It all starts with a strategic design consultation and in-depth branding questionnaire to ensure your images align with your business goals and attract the clients you want.

What does a personal branding session cost?

I’m not sure what to wear—do you help with that?

I’m nervous about doing a photo shoot...

You’re in the majority—most people feel that way at first. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to know what to do. We’ll guide you through every step, from posing to presence, with care and intention.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about capturing the real you. No pressure. No forced smiles. Just a relaxed, supportive space where you can breathe, be yourself, and have fun (yes, fun!).

You don’t need to change a thing. Come as you are, and let us show you the beauty that’s already there.

Do you provide wardrobe for women?

We don’t provide wardrobe, because we believe your style is personal and powerful. That’s why we encourage you to bring your own wardrobe to your portrait session. From casual chic to power suits to glamorous gowns, your clothing is an extension of your personality.

During our consultation, we’ll brainstorm together to create a variety of looks that capture your essence. Whether you envision timeless elegance, modern edge, or playful charm, we’ll tailor the experience to match your unique style. From boudoir to boardroom to runway, let’s create a portrait session that reflects the multifaceted woman you are.

What if I’m not at my “goal weight”?

Here’s the truth: You are already enough. You don’t need to lose a single pound to deserve beautiful photos. We know how to pose and light you in ways that bring out your best—no crash diets or gym memberships required. Our goal is for you to walk away feeling powerful, radiant, and seen. Come as you are—we’ll take care of the rest.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes! Give someone you love the gift of feeling confident, radiant, and truly seen. Click here to explore our gift card options.

Where is your studio located?

Our studio is nestled within the vibrant Arts District of Northeast Minneapolis. We invite you to step inside our cozy haven of rustic charm, where exposed beams and brick walls meet the warmth of natural light.
