What to expect

What to expect

We chat! We’ll have a quick conversation to get to know each other, discuss your vision, and go over my process so you know exactly what to expect.

To start the project, I'll send you my branding questionnaire. This will help shape the direction and inspiration for your unique goals.

Send me your selfies! Send me 5-10 photos of you. They don’t need to be your fanciest shots from your cousin Jerry’s wedding with a full face of makeup and a fresh blowout. In fact, I’d love to see a range of photos, including how you look right now! (even if you have zero makeup, a three-day-old bun, and your oldest sweatshirt).

I’ll hop to it and prepare a number of images for us to review and revise, ensuring you receive photos that you love.

What not to expect

What not to expect

Picking out a wardrobe, scheduling hair and makeup, location planning, and travel arrangements. If you want to be standing in Times Square looking like you are ready to take on Wall Street in a $3,000 power suite, I got you. If you want to be sipping a beverage from a coconut on a tropical beach I might suggest we should make the appropriate arrangements, but technically speaking, I can make it happen. Even in the dead of winter from my cold Minnesotan studio.

I will not however be able to place you in a room with world leaders, shaking hands with celebrities, or receiving plausible awards or degrees that would intentionally mislead your followers. 

While I will strive to create the most realistic photo’s possible AI is still an art form. Not traditional photography. Your images will look like you but please do not expect every hair and freckle to be perfect.

Feel free to use any of the photos however you like! You have full creative and commercial freedom. Just a heads up, I'll hold on to the right to feature them in my portfolio and use them for promotion and marketing.

Are we sure this isn't stealing work from other artists?

Are we sure this isn't stealing work from other artists?

Simply put, yes, I am sure. 

I am a classically trained and working artist both in graphic design and in traditional media. My ideas, talent, and expertise are my own and come from years of working in the art industry. 

Think of it this way, when the camera was invented in 1816 it arguably took work away from the portrait artists and sculptures of the time, but it also opened up the ability to have portraits taken for people who did not have the means to hire an artist. It also was a heck of a lot fast for everyone! 

Enter AI... Will people utilize this new technology in their businesses going forward? Absolutely. Most small businesses do not have the means to justify spending many thousands of dollars on fancy photo shoots.

Much like the camera, AI opens a previously closed door for small business owners. 

It may seem like AI takes a couple of quick sentences entered into a program and 5 minutes to find what you’re looking for, that could not be further from the truth. Anyone using AI in their business will tell you it takes much more to achieve a polished final product. In reality, it takes several hours, multiple costly programs, expensive technology, and oftentimes thousands of dollars in schooling. Not to mention an artist's gift that not everyone posses. 

Here’s the thing, if you aren’t sure how you feel about AI, maybe this isn’t for you, and THAT IS OK! I love and utilize both mediums in my work and understand conflicting feelings! 


Cheating? Absolutely not!

Cheating? Absolutely not!

No way!

Picture this, receive your photos from a recent photoshoot, you are all dressed up, looking your best, but man, those lights are not doing you any favors! Maybe your hair got messed up while you were outside on a windy day. Maybe you love how you look in one photo but wish that was what you looked like in the photo of you at your desk. 

No big deal right, that’s why we have Photoshop! Photographers utilize Photoshop to edit and change everything from brightening your smile, smoothening fine lines, adjusting wayward hairs, and closed eyes. Now answer me this, are those photos still showing the real you?

Absolutely!

AI Photoshoots are no different. They let you fully embrace your true self in a fun, effortless way that's way less stressful than a typical shoot. We aren't using AI to mask or change your identity. We're using it to achieve the same goals as a traditional shoot, we are just taking a different approach.
