The participation fee is $590. The fee not only holds your date and allows us to book in the hair and makeup artist for your shoot, it aLso covers the consultation, and photoshoot.

The retainer fee includes:

PHONE CONSULTATION - to discuss your vision for how you want to be photographed and coach you on what to wear/styling

HAIR & MAKE UP - professional hair & makeup on your photoshoot date for your mother (or you - or both!)

PHOTOSHOOT - a 3 hour photoshoot with Anaïs

IMAGE VIEWING & ORDER SESSION - a zoom session to look at the 30-50 images we have created for you. You will have the chance to purchase images and products.

VIP FACEBOOK GROUP - be a part of a community of women all participating in this project. Share your experience and cheer each other on

FEATURED ON OUR BLOG + SOCIAL MEDIA - your images and story will be featured on our social media, blog and possibly youtube

Absolutely! When you see the 30-50 stunning images we have created for you, there's a good chance you are going to want more than one! Extra images are $350 each. Or, if you opt to go for one of our larger packages with 6 or more images, we will give you a discounted price per image towards that larger package. Our packages with 6 images start at $1500 + tax and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well. Again, there's no hard sell to buy more. This is about what you love and you won't know what you love until the photos are completely finished! So this isn't something to worry about now, it's a decision you make later when you see the results of our shoot.

At our Portrait Studio in Downtown LA.

We shoot Tuesdays - Fridays typically with at 10:00 am start and wrapping by 1:00pm. Availability is first come, first served and based on both Anaïs' schedule and our hair & makeup artist's schedule. Once booked, we will work with you to find an ideal time. Due to COVID19 we take one client per day so the studio can be thoroughly sanitized between shoots.

We will coach you on what to wear. You can wear up to 4 different outfits in your photoshoot. You can be casual in jeans and a black or white shirt. You can wear a fun dress. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. You could even wear lingerie or your birthday suit. There's no rules. This is up to you! I want to photograph you based on YOUR UNIQUE VISION.

My only requirement is to not wear patterns.

You can definitely include loved ones in your shoot! Extra hair and make up is $200 per person (if needed). Part of your story is the people you love. So if you want to include your loved ones, the more the merrier.

I totally understand that life happens! I do book in my hair & makeup artist's time to be at your photoshoot. Therefore, you are allowed one reschedule more than 7 days out from the shoot at no charge. If we have less than 7 days notice (or this is the second time you need to reschedule) we do charge a $150 rescheduling fee. This goes to compensate the hair & makeup artist for lost work. That said, hopefully this won't be an issue at all.

The $590 however is a non refundable retainer so please be sure you are committed when paying your retainer.

DUE TO COVID19 - we are being flexible with reschedules as we cannot photograph anyone who is sick or has any symptoms even if mild (runny/stuffy nose, cough, any kind of fever, etc). Our team will not work sick as well to keep you safe. We understand it is a challenging time and will accomodate any COVID19 related reschedules.

No, this is not a model call nor a free shoot.

Images and products are sold separately.

The session fee of $590 includes: hair and makeup, studio space, 2 hours of shoot, and Anais’ time for pre-consultation, post shoot reveal and retouching time.
