The Lumena Experience
Initial Consultation
01
In our initial consultation, we will go over your vision and goals for the shoot such as how you’d like to be photographed, if you want to invite anyone to the session, and I'll walk you through the whole experience in more detail. After getting to know each other on this call, we can set a date and book your photoshoot!
Your session fee of $595 reserves the date and includes the whole experience of the design consultation, professional hair and makeup, fully guided photoshoot, reveal session and $100 credit towards an image collection!
Without professional hair and makeup, sessions start at $395.
Design Consultation
02
During our design consultation, we’ll go over how to prepare and I’ll get to know you and how you dream of being photographed. I give each of my clients a style and beauty guide to best prepare you for your shoot.
I also offer access to my studio wardrobe collection, which is perfect for those who are unsure of what to wear! We can design, pin, clasp, or make anything to fit you perfectly and help you feel your best!
Fully Guided Photo Session
03
On the day of your photoshoot (yay!), we'll start the day off strong with professional hair and makeup. We’ll get to play around with three to four different looks that can go from casual to full glam to ensure we capture every aspect of your personal style.
The photoshoot is fully guided so you can let out a deep breath knowing that you will be cared for and heard. We’ll also put on some of your favourite tunes so we can jam it out and make the session super fun and comfortable.
Reveal Session & Ordering Appointment
04
Next, we’ll book a reveal where you get to see all your beautiful portraits and select the ones you love! The reveal session is a beautiful, intimate moment where you get to reconnect and discover new sides of yourself.
Deliveries include options such as a keepsake box with matted images, luxury albums, and wall art that I design to fit your home. Products start at $695 and go up from there, there is no pressure and you only buy what you love!
Images and albums are purchased separately at your Reveal.
Payment plans available
Personal Branding
branding starts at $595 / headshots start at $395
This process is similar to the portrait experience, but I also include resources and guides on how to effectively use your professional headshots online. Photos are also available in different orientations and formats for banners, email signatures, and other marketing material needs. Every personal branding photoshoot is personalized and designed around what types of photos you’ll need for your brand and how they will be used.
In addition to the photo shoot, I help suggest new creative solutions and ideas for what kinds of photos we can capture so you can remain consistent across all platforms and get the most out of your photoshoot.
Photo sessions can be done on location or in the studio and images are received digitally. You can select your image package at your reveal based on your needs and the photos you love! Multi-location photoshoots are available at an additional fee.
branding sessions start at $595 / headshots start at $350

"I've never had such a fun, uplifting and professional shoot."
"As someone who usually hides away from photos, I have to say I've never had such a fun, uplifting and professional shoot as I had with Mina. Not only did she take care of every little aspect from composition to lighting, but she also managed to make me feel so comfortable and beautiful. Her energy is so much fun, and she knows what she's doing. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect portraits."
– Amanda
"Unforgettable! Mina made the experience delightful..."
"...from beginning to end. We're not the images you see in media. At 64, the fullness of time is evident in my face and body; my 21 year old (and their cat!) aren't camera-friendly. Mina's images are beautiful - they capture some essence - the light in us. They will be cherished for many years to come, and so will the experience itself. Absolutely recommend that you do this.
– Susan
"I’m not normally one to be front and centre in front of the camera...."
"...but I recently turned 30 and wanted to do something special to remember this milestone. Mina is a very kind and professional and she made me feel so comfortable. Prior to our session she made sure to go through all details of what to expect and really get to know what I was looking for which was very appreciated. With the hair and makeup provided along with the glamour photoshoot it’s a one stop shop. Mina is truly talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture memories to last a lifetime!
– Loveleen
"I wasn’t sure if I had everything ready. How to stand, how to pose..."
"but honestly when I showed up, Mina was just so helpful and so calming that I was able just to relax. She’s like, “I got you”. The experience was more than a photoshoot. It was a time for me to celebrate the woman I am and the woman I am becoming."
– kathy
"I will never forget how that shoot uplifted me...."
"I was really depressed and feeling low I almost cancelled. I will never forget how that shoot uplifted me. It was the day I decided that this is what I want to be doing. Creating art and that nothing will stop me. Because even on those worst days I still show up."
– Nic
"I was guided to working with Mina for my brand shoot...."
"...and she really was the right person to capture my vision and bring it to life through both videos and photos. She is such a visionary and creative and you can absolutely see she embodies that in her personal life too. Mina held my hand throughout the creative process, from helping me with outfits and creating the vibe for my brand. I loved that I walked in on shoot day totally pampered with hair and makeup.."
– Margaret
"If you never felt before what is it to be a goddess, this is it!...."
"...I was a bit nervous before the photo shoot, especially the boudoir part of the experience, but Mina made me super comfortable right away. It was really an empowering session, Mina really helped me to feel confident and it really show on the pictures. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to boost their confidence. Thank you Mina I would love to work with you again!.."
