Our Process

At Beautiful Soul Portrait Studio first, we schedule a phone consult, zoom or in person consult. Consult Schedule

Second, we will discuss your specific desires for how you want to be photographed. What is your vision for this session? Together, we will bring it to life. We will plan every detail about where you would like to hang your portraits or maybe this will be a gorgeous gift for someone you love. Your consultation will be either over the phone OR in my Lexington studio where we will pick out your wardrobe, color palette for makeup, go over hairstyles and posing, choose your favorite music and your preferred drink. Your choice.

When you are ready to experience this, we schedule your date with your $99 retainer fee (or $349 luxury photoshoot to secure your makeup artist) and sign your contract via email.

We will communicate via email, phone and text to ensure all the details are set.

We will share plenty of planning tips to make the most out of your incredible photoshoot.

On the day after your session, you will come back to view the photos we created during your shoot. This is where you will select images and place an order for wall art OR a stunning album. Each photo is retouched to perfection, and your album prepared. It will take about 3 weeks for this process. (same day offered for out of town clients)

  • Professional Photography is a luxury service.

    A professional photographer has a set of expenses that must be covered for each session. Each studio has a cost of doing business and it's not inexpensive by any means and photography is a highly skilled profession, and a paid one just like any other profession.

    If clients want the best, it must be understood there is a cost that comes with receiving the luxury service from a professional who provides these services and scheduling everything for each client, catering to their needs as well as possessing knowledge and skill of offering the best.

    Additional expenses to consider:

    Professional licensing- each town and city requires its very own license to legally do business. This can get quite expensive. The photographers who are trustworthy and legit will do their best to stay up to date on these licenses.

    Lease/Rental is very expensive in the nicer areas of town and let's face it, no one wants to do a boudoir session in a sketchy area.

    Insurance- we have to be covered in all areas just in case.

    Time spent with each client- From the first inquiry to the final delivery of your album, your photographer will have spent anywhere from 8 to 15 or sometimes more hours on your session alone. Some of the work is done crafting emails for you, researching outfits, gathering info from you to personalize your session, and making playlists, but most of that is going to be spent arranging your luxe services for clients, marketing for clients to find us, opening our studio and making it presentable with cleanings, guiding you skillfully, moving props and pieces around set, and retouching. Lots of retouching as well as designing your album which can take many hours.

    The purchasing of beautiful gowns and accessories to make your session extra luxurious and accommodating is an important thing that clients look for when choosing a photographer and this takes a lot of time.

    Don't forget education and experience. Years and rising costs of education can add up but it is necessary. A photographer who continues their education is going to know exactly how to work with you to give you the most successful and beautiful photo experience.

    So much of a photographer's job is completely unseen. Photography is one of the highest skill-related jobs out there and has some of the most expensive equipment and overhead costs of any skilled work.

    So, the cost of running this business is added up for the year and divided by the number of sessions each photographer determines they have the time to provide a great service to without sacrificing quality. The total expenses is divided by the total number of clients. That is the amount that photographers need to make in a session in order to remain in business and profitable.
