Can you tell me more about the Fitting Session and Lingerie?
The Day of your session can be literally the most emotional and empowering day of your life. Your Session will start around 9am or 11am. The first hour is dedicated to your Fitting Session. During this session we look over all the lingerie. Yes, literally all of it. We have around 900 pieces. Typically clients try on 15-20 outfits, but you are more than welcome to try on more! After you try everything on we look over your "contenders" and your overall vision. Then, we choose three outfits! Want to be naked? We totally got you, that would just be considered an Outfit! We also have BDSM harnesses, Pasties, Tape, and other accessories! So do not stress! Our sizes are from XXS-8XL and we purchase lingerie from all over the world!
One, Fuck What They Think. At Sarah McDaniel Studio we do not judge based on how society sees humans. We welcome men and woman of all shapes, colors, and sizes into our studio. We also have a VIP Clients Closet full of 900 different pairs of Lingerie that are sizes XXS-9XL. Documenting yourself love journey is something we take very, very seriously. During your fitting session we will go over all of the lingerie together. We also go over any concerns, questions, and show you around the studio. You are more than welcome to purchase your own lingerie, and we have websites provided if you need assistance!
Your session will take place at one of our three luxurious studios in Norfolk Virginia or Gloucester Virginia! It is all depending on what studio you choose!
Yes! Trust me when I tell you that we will do everything for you. I help you pose your feet all the way to your face. I do this for numerous reasons. One, because you look amazing. Two, because it takes the stress away from you. And three, because I want you to look and feel amazing. I will show you the poses, pose you based on how comfortable you are, and then show you the photos on the back of the camera. Right? I am the type of photographer that I want you to see how Bad Ass you look behind the lens. And get this, it wont be photo-shopped. So you get to see how you ACTUALLY LOOK, which is AMAZING.
Most of our clients have never had their Hair & Makeup done. Maybe for prom or for their wedding, but never just for them. Our HMUA, Olivia Lee, is a Professional Makeup Artist that focuses in everything from Halloween Fantasy Makeup, to Bridal. She loves to bring any vision you have to life, and bring out the inner beauty you already have. So if you are considering a more Creative Makeup, or even a Classic Look she will create it for you! Olivia Lee is such a down to earth type of person, she will also reach out to you before your session to go over everything, which I absolutely love. Because, you know, we have questions! After your Fitting Session we will walk you over to the HMUA station! And she will go over everything for you! We supply everything, so you do not have to worry about bringing a thing! But if you have questions, Olivia will gladly go over everything with you!
After your hair and makeup is done, we then go to the studio you choose and take your photos! We pose you literally head to toe! So do not stress about the posing, that is what we are here for! You will choose which studio you want, and we will design a Set List for you! The Set List will go over all of the different locations that you want to photograph in! We do this because our studios are incredibly detailed, and it allows for us to focus on what you want in your images! Wanting more romantic than spicy? Or a mixture of both? We always talk to you about your vision, and make sure we are able to bring that to life!
We get it, numbers are scary. At Sarah McDaniel Studio we pride ourselves in giving clients a ton of options to be able to afford their amazing photos! We accept Paypal Credit, Affirm, and we have our Layaway Payment Plan option too! We go over all of this during your primary phone consultation, during your secondary consultation, and through out your experience with us!
