A session designed the way a couture house is run.

Every Park Place portrait is the result of a six-step process. This is what to expect from the portrait session experience in San Diego: nothing is rushed, nothing is improvised, and nothing leaves the studio that isn't worthy of your wall.

The Consultation

We meet — by phone or over coffee in San Diego — to talk about you, your story, and what you want this portrait to say.

Wardrobe & Direction

I help you plan wardrobe, palette, and a mood that flatters your features and matches your intention. Nothing is left to chance.

Hair, Makeup & Styling

Optional but recommended — our editorial hair and makeup team prepares you in studio so you arrive on set already transformed.

The Session

Two to four hours of guided posing, careful light, and quiet music. You will be coached every frame. You won't have to wonder if you look beautiful.

The Reveal

Two weeks later we return to the studio for a private projection of your gallery on a 100-inch screen — the way photographs deserve to be seen.

The Heirloom

We design albums, fine-art prints, and framed wall pieces produced by the best print houses in the country. The session ends. The portraits live on.

Frequently asked questions

What should I expect at a Park Place portrait session?

Every session follows a six-step process: a consultation to plan your story, wardrobe and direction, optional editorial hair and makeup, a two-to-four-hour guided shoot, a private reveal in the studio about two weeks later, and heirloom prints and albums.

Do you provide hair and makeup?

Hair and makeup are optional but recommended — our editorial hair and makeup team prepares you in studio so you arrive on set already transformed.

When do I see my portraits?

About two weeks after your session, we return to the studio for a private projection of your gallery — the way photographs deserve to be seen.
