What types of photography services do you offer?

I offer a range of photography services, including:

Presence – A slow, intentional, and transformative session focused on presence, emotion, and self-discovery.

Portrait Sessions – Professional and creative portraits for individuals, brands, and businesses.

Model Portfolio Refresh – a new photo shoot or series of sessions designed to update a model’s existing portfolio with current, high-quality images that reflect their evolving look, versatility, and marketability.

Each of my sessions carries the essence of Presence but tailored to your specific needs.

Whether it's a personal portrait, a brand shoot, or a model refresh, my approach remains mindful and collaborative. Don’t see the type of session you need listed above? Please inquire.

What is presence?

Presence is a unique, immersive session designed to be more than just a photo shoot. It’s an artistic and therapeutic journey where we slow down, explore self-expression, and capture images that feel raw, powerful, and deeply personal.

How is it different from your other photography sessions?

Every session I offer is deeply intentional and influenced by the principles of Presence but this offering is the purest form of that approach. While portrait sessions, model digitals, and brand shoots may be more structured to fit specific needs, Presence is about exploration, emotion, and creative flow without any commercial constraints.

Do I need to be a model or have experience in front of the camera?

Whether you’re comfortable in front of the camera or have never done a photo shoot before. I guide you through the process, making it organic and intuitive.

How long does a Presence session last?

Each session varies, but generally, expect 3 to 4 hours, allowing time for conversation, movement, and intentional image-making.

How long does a portrait session last?

Depending on your goals, sessions can range from a quick 30-minute shoot to a full-day experience

Where do portrait sessions take place?

Sessions can take place outdoors, in a studio, your home or at a meaningful location that fits your vision. I also offer recommendations if you need inspiration.

Can I bring multiple outfits?

Yes, I recommend bringing 2-3 outfits for variety.

Do you provide hair and makeup services?

I don’t offer in-house hair and makeup but I can recommend trusted artists for hire.

How do I book a session?

To book a session, fill out the inquiry form on my website or email me at zoaphotography @ gmail and I’ll follow up with next steps!

Do I get to choose which photos are in black & white or color?

I deliver a thoughtfully curated mix of color and black & white images. The edit is determined by the energy of each photo and what best serves the story, emotion, and overall aesthetic. Every image is edited with care and intention, and final editing decisions (including color treatment and toning) are ultimately up to me as the artist.

If you have a strong preference (i.e. “I love black & white!” or “I’d prefer mostly color”), feel free to share that in your intake form, and I’ll keep it in mind while editing.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RETAIN YOUR SERVICES?

Because my work is fully custom and tailored to each client’s needs, I provide personalized quotes and proposals for every project. That said, my simplest offerings begin at $200 and pricing scales depending on scope, deliverables, and creative direction.

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, and direct bank transfers. A deposit is required to secure your session.
