2. The Transformation - Stepping into Your Story
The day has arrived. You're at the studio but before the camera captures your journey, you’ll step fully into character with a carefully curated wardrobe, handcrafted designs, and optional professional styling.
Wardrobe & Fittings
Your look is everything, and we want it to be perfect. You may have a pre-session fitting appointment to ensure the right sizing or explore different outfit options before your big day. On session day, your transformation begins with dressing into stunning, handcrafted wardrobe pieces designed to bring your character to life.
Hair & Makeup (Optional Add-On)
If you’ve selected professional hair & makeup, the first hour of your session will be dedicated to creating a cinematic, fantasy-perfect look that matches your vision. Whether it’s flowing elven waves, warrior braids, regal elegance, or mystical glam, our expert styling ensures you look the part.
