What You Can Expect
We plan every detail—wardrobe, styling, and location—so your session feels cohesive and intentional.
We begin with a phone conversation to understand what you’re envisioning and how you want your story to be captured. This is where we align on your goals, your style, and the feeling you want your images to hold.

Ordering Appointment

One to two weeks after your session, you’ll get to see your magnificent images for the first time, and we’ll sort through them together and decide how you would like to display your images in your home.

Rena Meystel is simply fabulous. From my very first contact with Rena, when I was inquiring about the photo shoot, I found her to be kind, quick to respond and professional. Her studio is beautiful, and her final work was stunning. Rena’s turn around time was very fast and she also worked quickly to provide me with final edits on sizes and cropping to suit my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Rena, she will not disappoint, and that is coming from someone who generally does not like having pictures taken but Rena made the entire experience lovely from start to finish.
