What if I want more than one image?
You buy only what you love and brace yourself because no one ever just chooses and walks away with 1.

It will be quite the experience to see yourself differently in so many levels and I promise you, it will not disappoint. A la carte images begin at $350 which includes the digital file and the corresponding print, 5×7 encased in an 8×10 mat and ready to frame. We also have collections from 8 images starting at $1990 + tax and go up from there. Payments via e-transfer or credit card are accepted.

Can I refer a friend over 40 to also be a part of this project?
Absolutely! Bring your Bestie, your mom, daughter(s), your lifeline. This experience deepens the bond of relationships and what a better way to celebrate than doing a “ME” and “US” time together.
What if I booked my date & paid $490 and then have to reschedule?
Our artists are booked to be at your scheduled portrait session and sometimes circumstances are unavoidable. A reschedule will be accommodated at no charge for the 1st and we will ensure that you are accommodated at a schedule that will be mutually beneficial for everyone. However, a 2nd reschedule will require a $100 rescheduling fee. The participation fee is non-refundable as we also look after the livelihood of our team. This goes to compensate the hair & makeup artist for lost work.
