The Benefits of Studio Sessions:

  • Looking to avoid unfavorable weather conditions? These sessions are perfect for sessions in the mid-summer/winter and rainy season timeframe. Stay cool/warm with a large indoor setting that allows your hair to stay pristine while preventing those not-so-flattering weather effects like sweating in your photos. Plus, you never have to worry about rescheduling your session due to a rainy day.

  • Looking for a mix of indoor and outdoor? Our studio space is conveniently located just 20 minutes from our favorite shooting area — cluster of Jacksonville, NC's most unique riverfront parks. This allows you to have photos that are not only pristine, but also photos outdoors in locations that capture beautifully.

  • Trying to find a date on our calendar and don’t want to wait a month or two for our next opening? As lifestyle sessions keep us closer to home, our studio sessions follow dates reserved for office days, opening up availability in as little as one day even during our busiest seasons.

  • Looking for images with more perfection? One of the most significant advantages of indoor sessions is our ability to control lighting and hair placement to create more perfect images. After your session, as each image isn’t varying in color/lighting balance as outdoor ones do, this more controlled environment also gives us more time to focus on more advanced editing techniques, like blemishes and stray hair removal.

  • We can be fully creative! They say art starts with a blank canvas, and photos are no different. From lighting, props, furniture, and atmosphere spray, these sessions provide a platform to create truly unique images that turn an ordinary session into a work of art.
