For Women Who Know Their Worth
Thoughtfully guided, beautifully crafted portrait experience designed to honor who you are now.
At Maggie Takes Pix, portrait photography is more than a photoshoot. It’s a concierge experience created for women who value care, intention, and artistry.
The Discovery Call: Understanding Your Vision
Every remarkable portrait begins with understanding. During our initial conversation, we discuss what you envision, the feeling you want to convey, the purpose behind your images, and how you dream of seeing yourself. It’s not about posing for the camera; it’s about shaping an experience that reflects who you are today and the woman you’ve become.
You’re guided from the very start by someone who listens deeply and creates images with intention. Your session is designed entirely around you: your story, your energy, your essence.
The In-Home Consultation: Designing with Intention
Before our photo session, I will visit your home for a private consultation. Together, we’ll curate wardrobe selections that flatter your style and reflect your personality. I’ll also take note of your living space (color palettes, textures, and light) so your finished artwork harmonizes beautifully with your home’s design.
You’ll receive expert guidance in styling and presentation, ensuring your portraits feel authentic to you and perfectly suited to your space.
The Portrait Session: A Day of Care and Confidence
On session day, everything is arranged so you can simply arrive and enjoy. Professional hair styling and makeup artistry set the tone, not for transformation, but for refinement. During your session, I provide gentle, detailed direction, so you feel confident in front of the camera. Every pose and angle is guided with precision, revealing the most flattering expressions and the quiet power of your presence.
You are cared for throughout, allowing you to relax, trust the process, and genuinely see yourself in a new light.
The Reveal & Selection Appointment: Seeing Your Portraits Come to Life
A week or so later, we meet again for a private image reveal. This is often the most meaningful part of the experience — the moment you see yourself as others do. Together, we’ll review your images and choose the portraits that best capture your story. I’ll guide you through custom options for wall art, albums, and fine prints, tailored to your aesthetic and lifestyle.
With professional curation and expertise, your choices feel effortless and confident. You leave knowing every selection is meaningful and beautifully realized.
The Finishing Touch: From Image to Art
Your chosen portraits are artistically retouched to enhance their natural elegance and produced using the finest archival materials. When your artwork is ready, I personally deliver and install your pieces, ensuring they are displayed with care and precision.
Every detail, from creation to installation, is handled for you. What begins as a photo session becomes a lasting legacy, with personal art that enriches your home and reflects your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why an In-Home Consultation?
One of the biggest challenges in preparing for a portrait session is often deciding what to wear. We're going to take care of that in about an hour by shopping your closet together - you know what you like; I know what will photograph well.
What if I don't want hair and/or makeup services?
This service is complimentary, designed to provide you with a bit of pampering while making you camera ready. Don't worry about not looking like yourself; my artists are selected for their ability to make you look your polished best.
Do I get an online gallery?
No online galleries here!
We're going to get together so I can share a curated set of proofs for us to look at together. Why? Because clients have found it overwhelming to have to choose on their own. It becomes really easy to "get to it later," but then... life happens, and your beautiful images just sit there, waiting for your attention and wasting your investment.
I'll provide options and guide you through which images may be best to fulfill your vision - which would work best for a headshot, in an album, on the walls... whatever you desire!
