FAQ

{A:}  The women you see on my website are clients, and they are not models. They all look super comfortable in their skin, confident, and like they’ve been in front of a camera plenty of times in their lives. This is because posing, and composing each image. The Avion Photography experience is FULLY GUIDED. You will be coached, posed, encouraged, and celebrated every step of the way. Because practically none of our clients are experienced with being in front of the camera, Avion want's your comfortability to be top priority. ZERO modeling experience or knowledge whatsoever is needed to rock your shoot experience.

{A:}  I book 4-6 weeks in advance with many time having a waiting list. So don't wait until the last minute. 

It's pretty simple since we do all the work and want you to relax and feel pampered.

• Come with clean dry hair and moisturized face and body if you are adding on hair and makeup. Otherwise come ready to go.
• Wear loose clothes so you don't have any marks on your body. (Feel free to bring a cute outfit to leave in. You will be on a high and want to walk out feeling like your hair and makeup matches your clothes. 
• Bring anything you want to use for your session. 
• We recommend any shoes you love (we don't have a ton at the studio) Also a few pairs of underwear white, black and nude. High waisted are my favs but anything you feel pretty in. We might not use them, but they are useful for pieces you might want a little more covered in or in case you don't like mine.
• Drink lots of water the night before. (stay away from red wine) it will bloat you.
• Stretch if you want the night before. It will help with some of the fun yet challenging poses. 
• Don't get in your head. You are in amazing hands. I have been doing this for 18 years. I will walk you through the whole process. Know that all the women who walk through my doors are a little nervous. It's very normally nerves just mean you're about to do some inner work. 

I am so excited to take you on this journey and create magic with you.

OXOXO, Avion 

{A:} Avion offers photo reveal via zoom 14 days after your photo session. We do this for a host of reasons: First, for your convenience.  I want to help clients decide between images, showing similar images side by side for easy selection, and assisting clients with getting great variety for albums and the perfect wall art pieces. Because we do show a LOT of stunning images, it can be overwhelming to navigate on your own and we don't want our customer service to stop at the photo shoot.  The zoom photo reveal is much appreciated by our clients and is our favorite part of the whole process!

No two sessions are the same—because no two women are. Whether we shoot in a greenhouse, hotel suite, studio, your home, or out in the wild, every setting will be chosen to match your energy. I’ll guide you every step of the way, from posing to mindset, so you can just show up and be yourself. This experience is meant to be empowering, fun, and freeing.

{A:} YES YES YES! My specialty is photographing WOMEN--in ANY outfit you choose. 

{A:} This is probably the most popular question I get….and the answer is simple…whatever you feel beautiful in. My style is the "simple yet classic I want your images to be timeless.   A bodysuit, an oversized sweater, cropped sweatshirt and high waist panties, a robe, sleep shirt...you get the drift.  Some clients opt for lingerie. And many clients choose to do a nude set during their session. Don't stress to much about wardrobe. I could (and have!) spend an entire hour shooting a client with no other wardrobe than the bed sheets and they turned out stunning. 

You’ll also have the option to book a wardrobe consultation—either virtually or in person.

If you’d like to borrow from my client closet, my full lingerie wardrobe is now located in my home in Lehi, Utah and is available as an add-on. You can swing by to browse in person or we can do a virtual pick-out session together—whatever’s easiest for you. With over 3,000 pieces to choose from, we’ll find something that makes you feel amazing.

We are going to work on some big-time inner self talk. I don't mind if you bring a friend. I just ask they not be in the room while we are shooting. Having people watch you can make you move nervous. They can hang out in my stunning wardrobe room. Or you girls can book a session back-to-back. 

While we make the skin look it's best, we keep the "Photoshop" action minimal.  I rely on my poses and angles to play down "problem" areas that concern you.  We WILL edit out minor blemishes/skin flaws as well as simple things like under-eye circles and small scars (IF you request the scar-removal).Retouching less is more.

YOU ARE NOT JUST GETTING PICTURES!!! You’re investing in you. In how you feel about yourself and you truly cannot put a price tag on the way your confidence skyrockets when you step foot outside of my studio. 

Babes, let’s start off with I am not a cheap photographer.

Normally photographers would be scared to say this, but I’m in the business of telling the truth. I’m not cheap. But I also am NOT going to provide you with a cheap experience.

When you invest in this experience, you are saying ‘yes’ to YOU. You are saying that you value the long-term confidence that you will gain from pampering yourself. When you book your session, you aren’t just getting pretty photos of yourself (although let’s be real, HOT bonus right there). No. You are getting so much more than that. Because what I offer is priceless. What I offer is a life changing experience that will forever shift the perspective on yourself.

What I offer is therapy for some. What I offer is self-care for others. What I offer is a mindset shift from thinking negatively about yourself and your body, to loving yourself fully and truly for exactly how you are.

Now that I’ve established the value of what I do, let’s chat about how to get it done!

There is no more profitable investment than investing in yourself.

THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE...
IS IN YOURSELF 

- Warren Buffet

The session fee includes all my time helping you plan outfits, time to take the images, custom editing, hair and makeup makeover. Outfits (most clients do around 4-5) studio or location. Plus, the zoom reveal is when you will see your images and choose from our amazing products such as wall art, Album's "for those who don't want their butts hanging on the wall" Albums come with digitals as well. So, these are my most popular items. Canvas or metal prints and I am adding a calendar to the mix. The zoom reveal is the perfect time to go over any extra editing you would like done. 

All session fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. You may transfer the fee to a different date but when you book, I take your day off my calendar, book the studio also hair and makeup.
