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

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. Product delivery depends on the lab, shipping, and scheduling. Your products will be delivered via the mail, and are insured.

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 spend more, and some spend less - but the results are all the same. They are obsessed with their new portraits, and love them more than they thought possible.

We are full service studio - meaning that we provide hair and makeup styling, wardrobe styling assistance, the photoshoot, and prints & products.

Portrait sitting fees start at $495, and the images start at $190. Images are purchased separately from the photoshoot, so you only buy what you love.

Each product ordered, also includes the digital version as well.

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. Once all of that is finished, the image is sharpened and finalized, with the whole process taking about one hour per image. The 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.
