The Setting: Indoor Studio and Outdoor Space
The session takes place in a dedicated indoor studio that’s designed for comfort and professionalism. Think of clean lines, good lighting, and a calm environment that allows you to relax and focus on your expressions. For those wanting a more natural look, there’s also the option to shoot outdoors in a private space, which is a real plus. The outdoor area features natural light and varied backgrounds, giving you the chance to add some variety to your photos without sacrificing privacy or control.
The outdoor space is particularly valuable for couples, creative types, or anyone wanting a more casual, sunlit backdrop. It’s worth noting that the outdoor shooting is private, so you won’t feel like you’re sharing your photo session with strangers or have to compete for good light.
What the Session Looks Like
For the hour-long private session, the focus is on light posing guidance and making sure each person looks their best. The provider states that they’ll offer direction throughout, which is perfect for those who might feel unsure about their posing skills. We loved the idea that this isn’t just a “stand and smile” session — instead, it’s a chance to create authentic, natural-looking images.
During the session, you can expect a mix of different poses and backgrounds, with the photographer adjusting lighting and composition as needed. The emphasis is on capturing flattering, professional images, whether for LinkedIn, a personal project, or a special occasion.
The Photo Package: Value in Digital Images
Included in the price are 20 professionally edited digital photos delivered via an online gallery. This strikes us as good value — especially if you plan to use these images for various purposes. The digital format means you can print, share, or resize images without additional costs, making this a flexible option.
However, it’s important to note that prints, physical photo products, or additional edited images are not included. If you’re someone who wants tangible prints, you’ll need to budget separately. That said, for most travelers and modern selfies-enthusiasts, digital photos are more than enough.
The Practicalities: Booking, Meeting Point, and Cancellation
The meeting point is 201 Huntington St, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 — a convenient location in Newport Beach. Confirmations are swift, and the experience is designed for most travelers to join, including service animals. The cancellation policy allows free cancellations up to 24 hours before the session, which gives peace of mind if your plans change unexpectedly.
While the experience doesn’t include transportation, you’ll want to plan how to get there — whether by car, bike, or even rideshare. The session’s duration is just about one hour, making it a quick but comprehensive photo experience.
