the bellus process
we are with you from start to finish!
1
Reach Out and Say Hello!
It starts with a phone consultation to get to know you better. What would you like to create? Where do you want your portraits to live? What is the theme? Are we looking a full-glam set or something quirky and fun? If you decide to book a session, we will collect the retainer fee and get your Style & Design Consultation scheduled!

Style & Design Consultation
Our focus, dedication and passion is to craft a portrait experience that is absolutely unforgettable. During the Style & Design Consultation, we will plan all of the details! I prefer to do the consultations at your home so that I can get to know your style, and while I am there there, we can look at ideas for wardrobe and nail down the theme, the look, and what you would like to create from the session. (this is explained in more detail during the phone consultation!)

Photo Shoot Day!
My favorite part of the process! It's your special photo shoot day! We want you to feel you absolute most gorgeous, so we start with a professional makeover. Your photo session is completely and professionally guided so you will always feel at ease and comfortable. You might want to plan a special night out after your session since you will be all made up and looking amazing!

The Reveal and Order Session
This is my second favorite part! About a week to ten days after the photo session, I will have your images ready for viewing! We will choose your favorite images and create the wall art or a curated collection for an album or folio box.
This is my first photoshoot and I’m kind of nervous.
Don't worry! Every detail will be planned and you will be guided throughout the entire photo shoot.
What should I wear?
We will plan the look and feel of your session during the design consultation. It all depends on the theme of the shoot...are we going for whimsical, sophisticated, glamorous or casual?
How many pictures will I receive?
At Bellus, our portrait sessions are centered around crafting exquisite wall art, curating a collection of images for your album, folio box, or a customized combination of these options. The quantity of images selected for your session is entirely tailored to your vision and budget.
Are you available outside of Louisiana?
Yes, absolutely! Please reach out to discuss your vision.
What kind of equipment do you have available?
I use a Canon Mirrorless body with top of the line "L" lenses by Canon. I have a full studio set up and always travel with lighting to ensure the best light for your session.
How will I know what size artwork I might need?
Utilizing remarkable software, we can provide you with a visual representation of how a framed artwork piece will appear when displayed on the walls of your very own home.
