Frequently Asked Questions FAQ: This is where we answer most of your questions before you even talk to us. Now you have no objection but to schedule your photoshoot
Preparing for your photoshoot
Of course. This is exactly why we have a consultation with every one of our clients. Allie will chat with you, look at examples in our gallery and find out what inspires you. We will style the final looks together.
Don’t be nervous. Most of our clients feel that way and they love the experience at the end. We will address all your concerns, and guide you every step of the way, and during the photoshoot Allie will guide you to look your best.
“Most of my clients feel the same way at first, but they quickly relax and begin to have fun. I’ll guide you through every pose and expression, so there’s no guesswork. All you have to do is show up—I’ll take care of the rest. You’ll feel confident and comfortable, and maybe even forget
that the camera is there.”
“While I am not a therapist, a photoshoot experience with me can be very therapeutic. In would love for you to fall in love with the woman you are today. You definitely don’t need to wait for a perfect moment to be photographed. Most clients are amazed at how beautiful they look once they see themselves in the final portraits. Plus, I’m good for 20 years and 20 pounds in just posing, lighting, and photoshop alone. Trust me.”
You have nothing to wear? No problem. As a part of the photoshoot experience, I will help you find the best wardrobe for you. We can go shopping to your closet, find new things in your friends closets, my studio closet is also available, and my online store FashiinbyAllie.com is always here for you anytime you need.
That’s fine. You can wear clothing you are the most comfortable in and look your best. We will help you to pick out something fabulous.
A photoshoot can be anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on what type of photos you’re taking. The length of a photo shoot depends on many factors, including the number of people in the shot, the type of photoshoot experience, the number of outfit changes as well as location changes, and the photographer’s skill level.

Yes absolutely. We guarantee that you will have fun being photographed, you will look like your authentic self in your photos, you will love your photos and lastly, the images capture your legacy. See more about our Guarantee here.
Pricing and Product Information
At Allie Serrano Portraits, our photoshoot experience is more than just capturing pictures—it’s a fully guided transformational photoshoot experience. My clients leave with stunning magazine-quality portraits and a renewed sense of confidence, beauty, and legacy. Each session includes wardrobe styling, professional posing guidance, and luxury retouching to ensure you look your very best.
To book a photoshoot, we ask for a deposit either of $650 or $1,250, and the rest is due at reveal session where we select your images, customize your collection, choose your products, and design your wall art.
Clients typically invest between $2,300 – $6,000 depending on their chosen collection. The best way to find out exactly what works for you is to book a consultation where we’ll design your dream photoshoot together.
“If that’s all you want and need, yes we can do that. That’s absolutely fine. Just know that most of my clients end up getting much more. The average spend in my studio is $1,500 on headshots and $3,200 on intimate boudoir portraits. How many images YOU get is entirely up to you.
Allie Serrano Portraits is a high-end portrait photography studio. The minimum for a regular 1-hour photoshoot with 1 portrait or a digital image, you get both so the choice is yours, you’d spend $650. Outside of that, on occassion we offer special photoshoot priced as low as $490. Schedule a call with Allie to find out more.
Yes of course. Not everyone needs a set of prints or wall art and we totally understand that. You will receive a digital copy of every portrait you select and if you want just digitals, that’s fine too. The cost is the same because the digital negative is just as important as a portrait on the wall. Remember, your hard drive will crash, your phone will break, but the portrait on your wall will always be with you.
We offer a various line of products, Wall Art, Folio Boxes, Albums, and much more. If you’d like to see everything in person, let’s schedule a time with Allie for you in the studio and chat. Also, you can visit our products page and be wowed by the incredible products that can be yours.
When you see the portraits during the reveal session, we will have made the basic retouching to show you close to the final product. However, an additional enhancement to soften facial lines and remove blemishes can and will be done prior to placing the portrait order. All detailed retouching is included in the total cost of the portrait.
Depending on your choice of framing and product, your digital images will be ready within one week. From there, your products will be ready for pick-up or delivery within 4-6 weeks, unless otherwise noted.
You can go to our website and fill out a form request on our booking page. Once we get your request, we will schedule a phone call to go over your details & confirm your booking, and start planning your photoshoot (Book Your Photoshoot)
Booking Questions
We are closed on weekends except for one Saturday per month. It is a premium booking and requires a $2,500 deposit which will go toward your purchase. We are closed on Sundays. But honestly, most of my clients love to schedule a sneaky day off work during the week and enjoy getting pampered & photographed.
Yes, of course. During the week we are available for an evening photoshoot at least 1 day per week. If you need to stop by after work, we can plan for it ahead of time and schedule your photoshoot during that time separately as well.
We are currently booking a maximum of 3 months out from the date of the initial consultation. You can also buy a gift card and pre-pay your photoshoot that way if you need more time.
Yes, of course, we want you to share your experience with those you love.
Make sure they are pre-warned though. We often bring them on the set with you and capture a portrait of the two of you together. So if you bring a loved one with you, know that they will also most likely be photographed with you.
