Where you are the main character of the story
Welcome, My name is
Samantha Momo
Life isn’t easy. There will always be trails and tribulations. I’ve learned to take every experience, the good and bad, and convert it into energy to fuel my creative side. I’ve used aerial arts, dancing, and getting lost in a book as my outlet to release the darkness and quiet my mind. It is importantly that we know we are the main characters of our lives and we have the power to control how our story goes. Allow me the honor to capture every chapter you go through.
More than a photoshoot
Every picture tells a story. We want you to feel your best and love every part of who you are. Come in ready to express yourself and leave with more confidence. No matter where you are or what is going on your life, you deserve to capture every chapter to look back on.

The Experience
1. Submit Inquiry
This can happen a number of ways, whether it be through our website or via DM on social media.
2. Schedule a Consultation
This can happen in person, but more than likely happens via Zoom. When we receive your inquiry we will schedule a date/time that works best for both parties. Prior to the consultation, you will also be sent an initial questionnaire. This will allow us to get to know you and your vision for your photoshoot better. Also feel free to start putting together a vision/pinterest board ahead of time.
3. Consultation Session
This is where we really get to know each other. We will review our Exclusive Preparation and Styling Guides, and select the package and experience
4. Contract Development
After we have put together your perfect experience, you will be sent a contract via email. This will outline the agreed upon experience, the fine details of the agreement, and enable you to make your 20% deposit. The final deposit will be due 1 week prior to your photoshoot, and can be paid anytime by going back into the contract.
5. Ongoing Planning & Communication
A group chat will be established with the hair and makeup (if applicable), and we will continue to send inspiration back and forth. This the way we will primarily communicate any last minute updates, and any questions you have can be answered leading up to the photoshoot.
6. Day Of Photoshoot
Upon arrival, we will discuss the layout of the day and you will be greeted with your appreciation gift and beverages. We will lay out your outfit(s) and discuss what makes sense flow wise. If you are getting hair and makeup done, this will be completed accordingly. We will have the photoshoot, with laughs and unexpected confidence assured.
7. Schedule the Reveal
When your photos are ready to be viewed, you will get an email to schedule your Reveal Session. This is where you will view the 30-40 photos that are the very best from your experience.
8. Reveal Session
This is where you will finally get to see the photos from your session. We will go through them and you will identify the ones that you love the most. If you would like to order an album, we will parse that out. You will also have the option to purchase more photos, and decide whether you are comfortable signing a model release.
9. Gallery Delivery
When you photos have gone through their gentle editing, and are perfect, you will receive an email from me that your photos are ready. There will be a link and password to view the gallery and download your photos. From here you are also able to purchase prints and wall art.
10. Feedback Request
At the same time you receive your gallery, you will receive a separate email requesting feedback. There will be an Experience Questionnaire, as well as a link to leave a Google Review. This is always appreciated. Also, if you have chosen to sign a model release, this will be sent in an additional email.

FAQ
Where are you located?
We are located in Arden, NC out of a home-based studio.
What if I want my photoshoot at a different location?
We will go wherever you want us! There is additional cost associated with travel outside of the 28704, but that is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Is there anything I need to know coming to a home studio?
Yes, the owner has 2 cats that will not interfere with the photoshoot, and will be in a separate room. While there is cleaning and sanitizing completed prior to every photoshoot, it cannot be guaranteed that allergens won't be present.
Do you have lingerie or do I have to purchase some myself?
Unfortunately we do not have a client closet at this time. However, during your consultation and in the time leading up to the photoshoot we will discuss style and vibe. We do have an Ultimate Styling Guide that it reviewed during your consultation, and available to you at any time.
Will my photos be shared online?
Only if you are comfortable with it. Some clients are comfortable with it, and others aren't. It is completely up to you, there is a separate "Model Release" that is required to give me permission to share.
Do I get physical prints or anything like that with my photoshoot?
No. All packages reflect digital photos only. However, upon delivery of your digital gallery you will have the ability to order physical prints directly from the gallery.
Can I bring someone for my photoshoot for support?
Unfortunately no. We do not allow guests during photoshoots, but we ensure a comfortable experience. We want the focus to be entirely on you and find guests can be distracting to the process. It is something we are most proud of, check out the testimonials of our past clients to see what they thought. We do offer Boudoir Parties as well for the group experience.
What is the complimentary mimosa bar and beverages included in my package?
It's nice to loosen up before a photoshoot, and during. We offer prosecco and a variety of fresh fruit popsicles for you to customize your mimosa. In addition, we will have water. If you do not drink alcohol this can be eliminated, and alternatives can be identified for your experience.
What if I don't drink?
Let us know ahead of time, there are always non-alcoholic options available.
I'm not very confident in my body, maybe I should schedule a few months out?
It is completely up to you. HOWEVER, we emphasize the importance of celebrating your body as it is now. Our portfolio depicts women of varying sizes, shapes and skin tones, and our team is well versed in posing and styling people accordingly. No worries babe!
What if I need to reschedule?
Any scheduled session may be rescheduled in writing seven days before the shoot date. Deposits are non-refundable, except for Part 8 of this agreement. The payment of the session will be held for a rescheduled session (up to 30 days after the original session). Scheduled sessions may only be rescheduled once without the loss of the retainer/session fee. If Client requests more than one reschedule for personal reasons or to reschedule an add on to their package, there will be an applied $125 rescheduling fee. No show appointments are non-refundable and forfeit the entire fee.
