SOUL PORTRAIT by Vira Betsch is a modern Fine Art photo shoot for everyday women of all ages and sizes and people who love them. Its a day of pampering with professional hair, make up and styling - an ultimate girls day out, that you can enjoy on your own, with your mum, daughter, sister or your best friends. It is an experience of looking and feeling beautiful, reconnecting with your own beautiful self and feeling like a goddess. Whether you would like to celebrate a life milestone, boost your self confidence with a little makeover, treat yourself or your loved one to a dream photo shoot or just need one professional headshot for your LinkedIn profile - this experience will change the way you see your own beauty. Making women look and feel beautiful in photographs is my superpower and I want to take the best portraits that you've ever seen of yourself.
Consultation
Before each session, we meet for a styling consultation, where we design your photo shoot, colours and clothes you would like to wear and discuss the overall mood and how you or your kids would like to look in your new portraits. I will ask you questions so that I can learn more about you so that I can create images you will love and you can ask any questions that you may have. Whether its soft and ethereal, romantic, dark and dramatic, we make sure that with gentle guiding we capture the essence of you. We will discuss and plan every detail of your experience, like wardrobe selections, hair, make up, how you dream of being photographed, services available, pricing, and products. With our professional hair & make-up and styling, you will surely look and feel absolutely gorgeous. You might even book a night out after the photo shoot, as you will look amazing!
Photoshoot
Our photo session takes about 3 - 4 hours, professional hair and make up and styling for 1 person ( with the choice of bringing the rest of your family members for a family portrait towards the end of the session), 4 - 5 outfit changes and lighting changes to create a variety of looks for you to choose from. A lot of our clients use this opportunity to get little bit of everything in one session - gorgeous professional business headshot for LinkedIn, business website or personal branding, beautiful glamorous portraits and some timeless family portraits, that will be cherished and passed on to the next generation. This is your dream photo shoot that will be designed for you - we personally tailor your session to capture photographs, that you have always dreamed about.
Reveal
After the photoshoot, we will agree a date for you to return to the studio to come and view your finished portraits. This is usually done around 3 weeks after the session, or at a time that is convenient for you.
If you have travelled a considerable distance for the photoshoot and would not be able to return to the studio for your viewing session, it is possible that we can arrange an online viewing session as an alternative.
But, if at all possible, I would encourage you to come back in person.
I will chose the very best pictures from your shoot and you will have a chance to see them in their full glory. The pictures will be professionally printed and mounted. I only use highest quality gallery grade professional printers, the same highest quality that you can see in the best museums.
What you buy is entirely up to you and there is absolutely no hard sell, minimum purchase or an obligation to buy afterwards. With that being said, i always do my best to create portraits, that you'll absolutely love and don't want to be without.
Just have a look at our beautiful Folio boxes and presentation products which are hand made by the best suppliers in the world.
There is also a beautiful selection of wall arts and frames from the best high quality suppliers, available to be seen at the studio so you can create your dream framed wall arts that will suit your home interior.
