The Process

  • Consultation

    This is for you to learn more about the process. But, more importantly, for us to get to know you and understand the vision you have for your session.

  • Wardrobe Consultation

    As part of your consultation we’ll talk about your personal brand and we’ll help you choose the outfits from your closet that will photograph the best.

  • Professional Hairstyling

    The day of your photoshoot, you simply show up. One of our hair stylists will give style and add volume to your beautiful tresses.

  • Professional Makeup

    Arrive fresh faced, and our professional makeup artist will ensure your makeup is perfectly photo-ready. We also include complimentary false eyelashes.

  • Guided Photoshoot

    Here is where the magic happens! Your photoshoot starts with relaxation and pampering, and includes multiple wardrobe changes.

    As posing experts, we’ll guide you through a series of poses to flatter you best and portray your personality. We want to tell your story through a beautiful series of images that you will gladly gift to loved ones and share on social media.

  • Reveal Session

    See the magic we created! During your Order and Reveal session, you will see the ‘best of the best’ images from your photoshoot.

    You only buy what you love, and our job is to make sure that you love them all! With our expert guidance, we will help you select your winning portraits along with the wall art and products you’ll forever cherish in your home.

  • Vanity Fair Style Editing

    Professional retouching is included with each product order. We specialize in the most comprehensive and detailed editing, while still focusing on creating the right look to match with your style and needs.

    Everything is edited and retouched to a ‘perfect realism’. We love adding artistic elements in post to create editorial style portraits, and are happy to accept requests.

  • Final Artwork

    This is where it all comes together - displaying your portraits. Every piece of art that we offer is museum quality and made to last. They’re meant to be heirloom products that carry on your legacy for generations to come.

    We handle all the printing for you, and offer a wide array of different options to fit your needs and style.

Same Day Transformations

From Everyday, to Slay

We’ve heard all the reasons before…

“I’m not photogenic enough”

Feeling nervous about being in front of the camera? Don't worry-you're not expected to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to "smile naturally".

As your photographers, it's our job to guide you every step of the way. From helping you feel comfortable, to directing your posing, to drawing out genuine expressions - we're here for you.


”I just need to lose X amount of weight”

What is it costing you to hide from the camera right now?

Imagine your children, 40 years from now, flipping through albums and asking, "Where's Mom? Why wasn't she in the pictures? She had the most beautiful smile… I wish I could see her glow again."

You are already worthy of being celebrated, you are worth of being art.

”I’ll get my portraits done one day! I just need a reason.”

Life's pace can be breathtakingly fast, and amidst our daily routines, significant moments can slip by unnoticed. Every day, we evolve, our relationships deepen, and our faces and surroundings subtly change.

Waiting for what feels like the perfect moment to capture these times often means those moments could be lost forever. Right now, in this very season of your life, holds its own unique beauty and significance to who you are as a person.

Some of our clients come in for a reason, the rest come in for a purpose.

Trust me, we know. It can be so easy to be hard on ourselves, and we had to learn the power of valuing ourselves just as we are now.

You my dear, are art

 

At Obsidian & Blush, we believe in the power of print, and are passionate about our mission for people to celebrate themselves - wholeheartedly, shamelessly, with confidence and love.

The images that we create together serve as a reminder to stay in celebration of yourself, to show up as your next level self everyday, and that you are fine AF.

Your beautiful visual legacy will be there on the wall, proudly displayed in your home, because you my dear, are art.

We work with only the finest vendors, and every piece we offer is handcrafted with love from Italy. Each piece of art is unique, handcrafted, and made to be passed down and treasured for generations.

 FAQs

 
  • We offer bespoke portraits, branding, family sessions, fashion lookbooks/editorials, maternity, and boudoir. If what you’re looking for is not listed, please contact us for more information.

  • We recommend two months or longer to plan your Custom Portrait Session without stress.

    This allows us to have multiple meetings (if needed), design your photoshoot, secure locations and team members, and finalize details.

    We’ll schedule your Reveal and Ordering Session for approx. 2 weeks after your photoshoot. From there it takes approximately 6 - 8 weeks for your portraits to be processed, edited, and delivered via Dropbox.

    Once your images are approved for print, they will be sent off to our handmade printers in Italy. Artwork delivery depends on the lab, shipping, and scheduling. Your products will be delivered via the mail, and are insured.

  • The investment for each portrait session is tailored to your vision for the artwork you desire to create. Our session fees range from $500 to $1200, with each image priced separately to ensure you get exactly what you want. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Whether you’re looking to adorn your home with timeless wall art, needing a series of smaller prints, or require digital files for personal branding, we’re here for all your portrait needs.

    During your image selection appointment, you'll select your favorites and decide which medium you’d like to purchase. Costs vary by selection, with some clients spending $1,500 and others up to $15,000, based solely on the images you choose to purchase.

  • Each client’s needs are different, so with our studio you only buy what you love.
    We use only the finest products that are handmade with love in Italy. Each product is guaranteed to last for hundreds of years with proper care, and are meant to be passed down to future generations.
    Each printed product also includes the digital file.
    The average client spends $3K - $7K for their photo session, and the products that they love.
    Some invest more, others less, yet the outcome remains universally thrilling. Clients find themselves enamored with their new portraits, often more deeply in love with the results than they thought possible.

  • Your images will never be posted online without your written permission. During your consultation we will go over if you're comfortable with us doing social media/web coverage. There’s absolutely no pressure at all to share your images anywhere.

    If you are in one of our “Model Calls”, then YES, your photos will be used as we see fit for marketing – which could include, but is not limited to, our website, Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter profile, sample products, etc… Please contact us for more information.

  • Absolutely! We encourage it.

    Your release will be included with your purchased images. Unless you purchase, or we grant you, a separate commercial use license, your photos are for PERSONAL use only.

    You can:

    Post the web-sized images online, including on social media and any personal blog or website that does NOT receive advertising revenue.

    When posting any of the photos online, we appreciate photo credit (“Obsidian + Blush”), a link to our website (www.obsidianandblush.com) and a tag of our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/obsidian+blush).

    Please note that, other than cropping to fit specific social media photo dimensions, you may not change your photograph in any way, including but not limited to: altering the color, adding or subtracting elements or re-editing.

  • We do offer payment plans. They are specially designed for each individual. Sessions and products must be paid in full before you will receive them.

  • We do our very best to get the image right “in camera” with professional posing, styling, makeup/hair, and professional lighting to guarantee that you look your best. That being said, we will occasionally nip and tuck a little here and there, so we guarantee that our clients always look like themselves.

    Fine art editing is much more than just editing a photo - it’s creating a work of art. Each and every image is adjusted first for white balance, exposure, and the basic framework of the image. From there comes the retouching - this includes blemish removal, hair fixes, nips and tucks, wardrobe adjustments, and more. Once the “base” of the photo is done, comes the fun stuff!

    Every single color is adjusted individually for hue, saturation, and vibrancy. Most times the color is even very precisely hand painted in. Then each and every shadow and highlight is hand painted in to ensure that there’s depth and richness to the photo.

    The image is sharpened, finalized, and sent via a Dropbox link. The final result is very natural looking and real, but with a beautifully glamorous touch!

    Some types of retouching may incur an additional charge, including but not limited to:

    Extra Retouching

    Backdrop Change

    Person/Face Swaps

    If you request additional retouching at your unveiling session, you may incur a charge per image, per round of edits, at our discretion.

    We do not release unedited or RAW images.

  • We cherish the artwork we create, and as much as we would love to keep every file from every client, it's simply not feasible. We are passionate about printing and physically enjoying the artwork—holding it, hanging it on our walls. Therefore, as of 2025, any images not purchased within two weeks of your reveal and ordering session will be removed from our archives.

We would love to hear from you

For people that want to stand out.
