JUST PORTRAITS!
JUST PORTRAITS!
I have this dream where being photographed isn’t such a big deal. You show up knowing you’ve got this, and I’ve got you. In this dream, you're less preoccupied with how you look and, instead, able to focus on how you feel.
This feeling leads you to something new and exciting—something you haven’t seen before. But then again, maybe it IS a big deal. Maybe you have never done anything like this before but want to try. These are just portraits, after all, aren’t they? Or maybe they’re something else… What if these pictures could be whatever you wanted them to be? Whatever you needed them to be.
If you’ve ever fantasized about the opportunity to flip the script, you’re in the right place. Scroll through the roadmap below to get a sense of how I work (and what you’re in for.) When you’re ready, fill out the form at the very bottom, and we’ll dive right in.
TIME IS AN ILLUSION!
This is part of the reason why I don’t time my shoots. This is play! We’re not racing the clock or rushing to get to the next thing, and there is no hard out. If clarity around time makes you feel good, I find that, on average, my sessions run around 2 hours, but if we need more space and time, we’ll take it.
YOU GET THE GOODS!
Within this container, your session will yield around 20 to 30 images. Sometimes more! I’m a quality-over-quantity kind of guy, so while I won’t be adding extra fluff to your gallery just to hit an image count, I also won’t keep the good stuff from you—why would I? Expect to walk away with a generous bouquet of images that will blow your mind. Think you’ll need more? Together, we’ll define the scope of your ideas and reach them together.
OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR WALLET!
The session is $500 paid in full. I offer payment plans for those who need them, no questions asked, just say the word. For many folks, having their portrait made feels like a real luxury. I honor your choice to invest in yourself in this way. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, this is a big deal!! I receive your hard-earned dollar bills with gratitude and in exchange will give you everything I’ve got.
SKYS THE LIMIT!
Your portrait session is fully customizable. Need more pictures? Dreaming of additional locations? Let me know what you’re thinking and we’ll make it happen. If it costs more money I’ll let you know right away before you pay.
*Interested in being photographed with a loved one? Group sessions begin at $700. Additional usage fees may apply if you want to use your images for promotional purposes, advertising, or print. For more questions regarding my commercial rates please send me an email at hello@joy-newell.com or fill out the form below.
WE’LL TALK FACE TO FACE
Your session includes a one-hour virtual coffee date. Bring a smile and a fun drink to sip on. We’ll meet over Zoom or FaceTime, say hi and talk about what we want to make. I’ll give you the low down on what you can expect and ask you a few questions. We’ll settle the details on the WHAT, WHERE and HOW of it all so by the time we meet IRL we can jump right in.
YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO HAVE NOT A CLUE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Welcome to the club. I see you! I’m here to guide you the whole way. I specialize in working with people who have no idea what to do with their hands. If you are someone who loves to do deep dives and is looking for an embodied experience to expand your mind, explore your ideas, and find more freedom in being seen, then The Embodied Portrait Session might be for you.
The average turn around time for photos is 3 weeks. If your need is urgent, let’s chat! I’m happy to accommodate your schedule, additional fees may apply.
Things I DON’T do:
Sneak previews during or after the session
Alter body size or shape
Excessive retouching on skin
Things I DO do:
Invite you into presence!
Acknowledge what matters.
Help you look like you.
YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
You know yourself better than anyone. I’m here to ask the right questions to get you to the answers you already know. This includes details like wardrobe, hair, and make-up stuff. We’ll cover it all during our meeting. If you want more guidance and a space to unravel, consider once again if The Embodied Portrait Session is calling your name.
CONSIDER WHO AND WHY
Who or what is this for? What feels the most important to you about being photographed in this moment? Take some time to reflect on why choosing to be seen in this way feels so important at this moment in time. What an exciting choice to make! You get to enter our space with these intentions. They will shape our experience. They will be our guiding force!
Your turn ;-)
