A set is one styled scene in the studio, with its own backdrop, props, light and mood. One set means one look, one outfit, one scene. Everything we shoot happens on a set, so once you understand sets, you understand how a session is built.
Short answer: a set is one styled scene in the studio. A full session is three sets, a couples session is two sets, and a mini is one set. You pick your sets by the mood you want in the photo, and we help you plan every one before you arrive.
What a set actually is
A set is a finished scene, styled and lit before you arrive. Backdrop, props, furniture, light, and mood are all part of it. Change the set and the whole photo changes, even in the same outfit. Our studio holds 30+ sets under one roof: Rain Room, Red Room, Bathtub, Dark and Moody, Light and Airy, and 25+ more. Every set is ready before you walk in.
How sets work in a full session
A full session is three sets and three looks, over 3 to 4 hours, with professional hair and makeup and a same day reveal. You see a 200 to 400 image gallery and choose what you love. The session fee is $399 for women’s, maternity and bridal. See the full pricing breakdown.
You pick three sets by the mood you want. Some women pick three sides of themselves: one soft and light, one dark and moody, one bold. Some build one story across three scenes. There is no wrong combination, and we plan all three with you before the day.
How sets work in a mini
A mini is one set, 30 minutes, $349, five finished images included, and you arrive camera ready. One outfit, one scene, every pose guided. It is a real session, just a shorter one, and it is the only option here with a known total up front. Plenty of women start with a mini and book a full session afterward.
Themed minis vs regular minis
Themed minis
A themed mini builds a set around a season or a story, then closes it until next year. The decorations change constantly, so the set only exists for a short window. Seasonal sets run once a year, booked while they are here, then closed until next season. Right now that is our Christmas minis: six sets, three Fridays left, Nov 13, Nov 20 and Dec 4, $349. See the Christmas minis and the dates left.
Regular minis
A regular mini is just the set. One styled set from the 30+ signature sets that live in the studio all year, one outfit, 30 minutes. No theme, no deadline, just the set you love most.
What sets look like in different scenarios
For you, solo
Three sets, three looks, three moods. Light and airy, dark and moody, Red Room, Rain Room, Bathtub, classic seamless, piano, boho. Pick the three that feel like you, or let us pick three that show different sides of you.
For couples
$449, two sets, hair and makeup for one person, add the second for $100. The seven sets couples come back for are Gentleman’s Lounge, Whiskey and Cards, White Sheet, the Rain Room, the Red Room, Speakeasy Bar, and Dark and Moody. The Rain Room is actual falling water, backlit, and the single most requested set we have. Styles run black tie, playful night in, lingerie and romance, or book lover.

For bridal
$399, three sets, and the sets are picked to match your wedding story. Bring the veil, the dress details, or anything from the wedding with a story, and we build the scenes around them. A bridal session is often a gift, shot before the wedding, and the sets make it feel like you, not a generic bridal shoot.
For maternity
$399, three sets, and the sets are chosen around the bump and what feels comfortable. Soft light, room to move, and posing built around comfort, so the photos celebrate this chapter instead of rushing through it.
How to pick your sets
Pick the mood first, then the outfit follows. Tell us the feeling you want in the photo, soft, bold, playful, romantic, and we match the sets to it. Bring options and props that mean something to you, and tell us in advance so we can plan a set around them before you arrive.
