Erwin Arias Photography - PORTRAIT SESSIONS

Working as a Portrait Photographer in St. Louis, Missouri, I have learned that a well-crafted portrait is like a bookmark that saves a place in the book of your life. The portraits we leave behind become part of our legacies.

Whether you are looking for family portraits at your favorite park, a creative portrait session for your brand, or a natural and relaxed headshot for your LinkedIn, I will work with you to create portraits that you feel proud of.

My approach to portrait photography is candid, relaxed, and heartwarming. I strive to make the entire process smooth and stress-free so you can relax, feel comfortable, and truly enjoy your photoshoot. We will work together throughout the creative process to ensure the final images reflect your vision and that you absolutely love the result.

The experience

STEP 1: BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Visit my booking page, choose a date and time that works for you, complete the booking questionnaire, and submit payment to secure your session. Portrait sessions are all-inclusive and start at $255.55. Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email. I will review your responses and follow up within 24 hours to discuss and confirm the details of your session.

STEP 2: CAPTURE the images

On the day of your session, we will meet at the agreed-upon location to capture your images. Each session includes up to two hours of shooting time, allowing plenty of flexibility to explore different poses, backgrounds, and outfit changes, as well as to account for any unexpected moments.

You are not required to use the full two hours if you don’t need it. In my experience, this time frame ensures we never feel rushed and allows us to capture everything you’d like to see in your final gallery.

STEP 3: SELECT YOUR FAVORITES

After the shoot, you will receive a link via email to a private online gallery containing digital proofs for selection. These proofs undergo a basic editing process (color correction, exposure adjustments, and light cropping) and can be downloaded in high resolution directly from the gallery at no additional cost.

From this gallery, you may select up to six images to receive high-end retouching for a more refined, polished look (skin retouching, blemish removal, and detailed enhancements). Additional retouched images may be purchased on demand at a flat rate of $20 per image.

STEP 4: RECEIVE the portraits

Your final retouched images will be delivered within five business days via a secure email link to a separate gallery.
