GLAMOUR PHOTO SESSION
PS Photography Glamour FAQ's: What to Expect at Your Shoot
A few quick FAQs:
-Trina will be your photographer
-The shoot will be taking place at my 2500sq ft studio located at 2512 S C St Tacoma, WA 98402
-We highly recommend all of our clients get their hair and makeup professionally done. If you're looking for recommendations of stylists, we can certainly recommend some. Check the bottom of this page for some recommendations. Please come to the studio fully ready so that getting your hair and makeup ready will not take out of your shoot time.
-For a 45 minute session 2 outfits fits the time best. You can use any dress/skirt available at the studio or bring your own outfits. We currently have sizes s-3x. I do add in a little cushion time to the appointment time for trying on outfits.
-The turn around time is approx. 2-3 weeks from your shoot date, so make sure you book with enough time; however, we do have some rush processing options. $40 for 5 day turn around and $20 for 10 day turn around time. I likely won't go over these options, so please bring it up in an email before or right after your shoot if you know you'll want rush editing.
-You can bring a friend to the shoot if you wish, but she will need to be a female. Friends are NOT permitted to take photos with their camera or cell phone. If I see someone taking photos during the shoot I will ask them to stop and things will probably be awkward from that point on. If they continue, the shoot will be over and any remaining session time will be forfeited. If you are bringing a friend to your shoot, it is your responsibility to let them know that other than the hired photographer, photography is NOT permitted in the studio at any time.
-Once your photos are done, you'll come to my downtown Tacoma location and choose the ones you want. All photo ordering sessions happen at my downtown Tacoma office. There are no exceptions unless you pay in advance for all the digitals or the digitals and the book. Unless you're purchasing all the digitals, you do have to come meet in person and view them. I do not ever release anything online that hasn't been purchased. All decisions do have to be made at this appointment.
-You can view the full pricing guide here.
-If you're unable to pay in full, you can set up a payment plan or use PayPal credit. If you're interested in looking into PayPal Credit, you can do so at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit They offer 6 month with no interest and no fees.
-Any images you get in a digital format are for digital use only. Any prints you would like do have to be ordered through us. We take great pride in our work and want you to have beautifully displayed images that have been professionally printed.
-All photos have basic retouching done, and will have skin softening. If you want advanced editing on more photos, such as more skin softening and body contouring, that can be done for $20 per edit, per image. Certain edits may need to be outsourced and I'll have to provide a custom quote for those. Most people love the photos with the original edits, and rarely does anyone request advanced editing, so I recommend you view the photos first, and then decide if you want to add extra editing to your package.
-I may use images from your shoot on my site, on social media, for education, or other promotional purposes. If you are not okay with a model release, please email me at [email protected] and let me know and I will mark your images as no model release. Most clients, love having me use their images and show them off, but if you're not comfortable with that I 100% understand and will delete your images after you receive them.
-If you need to reach me you can email me at [email protected] Please do not send me messages on Facebook as there's no way for me to sort messages and I get tons every day and some get missed. Emailing me at [email protected] is the best way to reach me.
-All scheduling happens online at https://bookme.name/psphotography/
-To schedule to go https://bookme.name/psphotography/ and scroll down to where it says Glamour Photo Session. First click details to review the details and then click Book Your Shoot! Choose a date and time and then enter your info. Enter your contact info and enter the PROMO CODE if you have one to reduce your session fee.
-Any dates showing on the calendar that do not show time slots are already fully booked. If someone cancels for that day, the time slot will appear back on the calendar at that time. What's listed on the calendar is my complete availability.
-If you have any questions about your appointment that have not been addressed here, you can messages me at [email protected] Please do NOT message me on Facebook messenger. I do not have it on my phone and will likely not get any messages sent through messenger. Even if I do get a message and respond to it, please do all future correspondence through my email at [email protected]
-If you get to your shoot early, you can text me at 206-900-1336 and if I'm free I'll let you know that you can come in.
-I do not offer refunds. Once you schedule your session fee is a retainer that holds you slot. If you cancel you will lose that retainer. I do allow one reschedules with no fees if you give me at least 72 hours notice.
-If you are more than 10 minutes late to your shoot and do not text or email me, I will assume you are a no show and may leave the studio or start my next session. If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, you must email me at [email protected] and/or text 206-900-1336 letting me know you are still coming and we will shoot with whatever time is still left in your time-slot. I'm a fast and efficient photographer, so even if we don't have a lot of time, I can still get a ton of amazing things, so please don't stress if you're late. I am unable to go over time as I will likely have another appointment after yours. If you miss your appointment or show up late, you will not receive a refund. All retainers/session fees are non-refundable. So please make sure to map on the address in advance and plan for traffic and other obstacles.
-The main entrance to the studio is a garage door. I keep it shut during shoots and typically keep it shut between shoots so we don't let all the heat out. When you arrive, just text me at 206-900-1336 and let me know you're there. Please only use that number on the shoot date and ordering appointment date. Any other time, please email me at [email protected] as I only keep that phone on my on shoot and appointment dates. If you arrive early and text me, I may not be able to get right back to you as I might be in a shoot still.
-After you text, once I'm ready I'll open the garage door and let you in. Please do not try to open the garage door yourself as if it's closed I may not be ready for you.
-To view some of my recent glamour work go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/boudoirphotographer/
-If you have anymore questions, you can contact me at [email protected] and Grace (my administrative assistant) or I will get back to you.
-Thanks so much, and I look forward to working with you!
Hair and Makeup Recommendations
-Most clients love their photos even more if they got their hair and makeup professionally done. I also find those that get their hair and makeup done often feel more confident during the shoot. Here are some ladies that I have worked with and highly recommend. If you do decide to go with one of them, make sure you let them know that you're having your shoot with me. Please note that because I'm often shooting back to back, your hair and makeup time cannot happen at my studio. You will have to go to your stylist's location, have them come to you if they're willing, or meet them somewhere. Thanks for understanding, and feel free to check out these awesome ladies!

GLAMOUR PHOTO SESSION
PS Photography Glamour FAQ's: What to Expect at Your Shoot
A few quick FAQs:
-Trina will be your photographer
-The shoot will be taking place at my 2500sq ft studio located at 2512 S C St Tacoma, WA 98402
-We highly recommend all of our clients get their hair and makeup professionally done. If you're looking for recommendations of stylists, we can certainly recommend some. Check the bottom of this page for some recommendations. Please come to the studio fully ready so that getting your hair and makeup ready will not take out of your shoot time.
-For a 20-30 minute session we can fit 2 outfits. You can use any dress/skirt available at the studio for glamour. We currently have sizes s-3x.
-The turn around time is approx. 2 weeks from your shoot date, so make sure you book with enough time; however, we do have some rush processing options. $40 for 5 day turn around and $20 for 10 day turn around time. I likely won't go over these options, so please bring it up in an email before or right after your shoot if you know you'll want rush editing.
-You can bring a friend to the shoot if you wish, but she will need to be a female. Friends are NOT permitted to take photos with their camera or cell phone. If I see someone taking photos during the shoot I will ask them to stop and things will probably be awkward from that point on. If they continue, the shoot will be over and any remaining session time will be forfeited. If you are bringing a friend to your shoot, it is your responsibility to let them know that other than the hired photographer, photography is NOT permitted in the studio at any time.
-Once your photos are done, you'll come to my downtown Tacoma location and choose the ones you want. All photo ordering sessions happen at my downtown Tacoma office. There are no exceptions unless you pay in advance for all the digitals or the digitals and the book. Unless you're purchasing all the digitals, you do have to come meet in person and view them. I do not ever release anything online that hasn't been purchased. All decisions do have to be made at this appointment.
-To thank you for accepting the model call, in addition to giving you the session time at no cost, I am giving you a $400 credit. You can view the full pricing guide here.
-If you're unable to pay in full, you can set up a payment plan or use PayPal credit. If you're interested in looking into PayPal Credit, you can do so at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit They offer 6 month with no interest and no fees.
-Any images you get in a digital format are for digital use only. Any prints you would like do have to be ordered through us. We take great pride in our work and want you to have beautifully displayed images that have been professionally printed.
-All photos have basic retouching done, and will have skin softening. If you want advanced editing on more photos, such as more skin softening and body contouring, that can be done for $20 per edit, per image. Certain edits may need to be outsourced and I'll have to provide a custom quote for those. Most people love the photos with the original edits, and rarely does anyone request advanced editing, so I recommend you view the photos first, and then decide if you want to add extra editing to your package.
-If you accept this model call, you are giving me a full release to use the images as I see fit. If you decide you are no okay with the model release at any point, I will revoke it if you choose to pay the full $300 session fee. So if you're not wanting to pay the session fee, please do not accept this shoot unless you're more than okay with me using the images.
-If you need to reach me you can email me at [email protected]
-All scheduling happens online at https://bookme.name/psphotography/
-To schedule to go https://bookme.name/psphotography/ and scroll down to where it says Glamour Model Call Photo Session. First click details to review the details and then click Book Your Shoot! Choose a date and time and then enter your info. Enter your contact info and enter the PROMO CODE model to get the session fee reduced from $300 to $25. That $25 is refundable at your ordering session or can be applied towards your purchase.
-Any dates showing on the calendar that do not show time slots are already fully booked. If someone cancels for that day, the time slot will appear back on the calendar at that time. What's listed on the calendar is my complete availability.
-If you have any questions about your appointment that have not been addressed here, you can messages me at [email protected] Please do NOT message me on Facebook messenger. I do not have it on my phone and will likely not get any messages sent through messenger. Even if I do get a message and respond to it, please do all future correspondence through my email at [email protected]
-If you get to your shoot early, you can text me at 206-900-1336 and if I'm free I'll let you know that you can come in.
-There are no refunds or reschedules for this special. Your $25 session fee doubles as a retainer to reserve your date.
-If you are more than 10 minutes late and do not text or email me, I will assume you are a no show and may leave the studio or start my next session. If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, you must email me at [email protected] and/or text 206-900-1336 letting me know you are still coming and we will shoot with whatever time is still left in your time-slot. I'm a fast and efficient photographer, so even if we don't have a lot of time, I can still get a ton of amazing things, so please don't stress if you're late. I am unable to go over time as I will likely have another appointment after yours. If you miss your appointment or show up late, you will not receive a refund. All retainers/session fees are non-refundable; however, for this model call you can use the $25 that held your spot as credit at your photo ordering appointment. So please make sure to map on the address in advance and plan for traffic and other obstacles.
-Only females will be in studio/at the location during your shoot. Often it will only be me (Trina). Sometimes my administrative assistant, Grace, will be in studio.
-The main entrance to the studio is a garage door. I keep it shut during shoots and typically keep it shut between shoots so we don't let all the heat out. When you arrive, just text me at 206-900-1336 and let me know you're there. Please only use that number on the shoot date and ordering appointment date.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOS
One of the most common question I get, is what should you do with these photos. You have a ton of photos that you love and don't want deleted, but now what do you do with them? The two things to consider when choosing what to buy are what you plan to do with the images and which images you love.
First, if you want to flaunt your gorgeousness, I recommend getting a 16x20 or bigger print or canvas to hang in your room. Some people like to get three 16x20 prints to put above the bed. For those of you who are concerned about not showing certain types of images in public, there will be modest pictures too :).
For those giving these as a gift, I'd recommend doing an album or Little Black Book. That way you are handing the person a tangible gift that they can look at whenever they want. The really nice thing about the books are that they're small and versatile. If the person wants to display the book on their nightstand, they can leave it out. If you guys want to keep these images between the two of you, the book is nice and small and can easily be tucked away.
Digitals are our best selling product. People like to keep these memories. Although I cannot release the printing rights over the images since I want to maintain the quality, you can do whatever you want with these images in the digital format. Digitals are such an easy way to preserve these memories. You can save them to your computer and have access to them whenever you want, you can set them as a screensaver on your computer, a background on your phone, you can put them in a digital frame, you can put them in a slideshow, or just keep them on your phone so you can scroll through them whenever you want that boost of confidence or to show to a friend. And if you want to show these off on Facebook or other social media, there will be more modest shots that Facebook will approve :). You look stunning in these photos and why wouldn't you want your friends to at least see a couple of the less revealing ones? Digitals can be used in so many ways and can be saved and archived, which is why most of our clients choose to get the 20+ digital package.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
I take all forms of payment, including cash, check, credit, money order, PayPal and PayPal Credit. If paying in cash, please bring the exact amount (don't forget tax) as I don't keep change on me.
If you decided on your package before your shoot and make payments that will be finished by your shoot date, or you pay in full before your shoot, I will give you a $100 discount on your package. If you order any digitals and pre-pay, I will also give you a complimentary black and white gallery of all the digitals you purchased ($59 value) to thank you for your pre-session ordering. You can still add more after your session if you want to add more to your package.
If you want to order your package before your shoot and pay it or start making payments, you can email me at [email protected] and let me know the package you want. I'll send you the total after tax and then send you an invoice that you can pay or make payments on online.
If you're interested in PayPal Credit, you can use it to purchase your package before or after your session, but if you purchase before the session, you get the pre-session perks. You can apply for PayPal Credit right now at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit
It's fast and easy to apply and see if you are accepted. With PayPal Credit there are no fees or interest if you pay it off within 6 months from the date of purchase. If you need more than 6 months, you can take as long as you need to pay it off, but there may be fees associated with taking longer. But you can apply today and if you're accepted, your 6 months doesn't start until the date of purchase. If you're paying with PayPal credit, be sure to let me know that if you're doing a pre-session payment so I can send you the invoice. If you're paying at your ordering session, you can just let me know at the ordering session.
If you need a payment plan but didn't get accepted for PayPal Credit, I do in house financing too; however, you only have 3 months if you're doing the payment plan with me and I cannot release anything until all payments are finished. You need to put $150 down to start the payment plan at your ordering appointment and you'll fill out a form and let me know the dates/amounts that I'm authorized to charge the card you use. I can take any card type except for American Express for the payment plan done directly through me.
PRICING AND PRODUCTS
Okay, here's what you've been waiting for- the numbers! :)
These are the digital packages
20+ images= $975
10 images= $900
5 image= $850
The 20+ package has no limit. So if I show you 100 images, you can have them all for the same price. Once you pay for 20, anything beyond that is free.
A black and white gallery of all purchased digitals can be added to your package for just $59.
Books:
A 20 page book can have anywhere from 20-40 images in it. I recommend having around 35 images. If you have more than 40 image you want in the book, you can add extra spreads (2 pages). Each extra spread can have up to 5 images and is $40 per spread.
20 page 8x11 Crystal Glance Flush Mount Album $1500 (20-40 images)
20 page 8x6 Little Black Book $975 (20-40 images)

11x14= $90
8x10 and smaller= $60
Canvases can be added if you've purchased a book or digitals:
30x40= $600
20x30= $525
16x20= $450
Deal Packages:
Our deal packages are our best value and what most clients get. I decided to offer this package because most of my clients want a physical product, but they have tons they love that won't fit in the book and they don't want to lose their images. So these packages makes it easier to get a book and still have all the digitals so you don't lose anything you love.
Package 1: 20+ digitals and 20 page 8x6 Little Black Book $1,175 (normally $1950- $775 savings)
OR
Package 2: 20+ digitals, black and whites of digitals and 20 page 8x11 Crystal Glance Flush Mount Album $1725 (normally $2534- $809 savings)
DON'T LOSE YOUR IMAGES
You look stunning! Don't lose these images! Choose your favorites and then decide which package works best for you. If you need a payment plan, just let me know and we'll get that set up.
I have a promotion going on right now on our two most popular items. Most people get the 20+ digital package and the Little Black Book. If you decide to get the 20+ digitals and the Little Black Book, you can get them for a total of $1,175 right now instead of the $1,950) they normally are. Or you can upgrade that deal package to include the black and whites and get the Crystal Glance album for just $550 more!

Steps to Book a Session:
-STEP 1: Read the What to Expect and How to Prepare Guide and Review the 2019 Pricing Guide. Please do NOT book before reviewing these pages as they'll answer just about any question you may have about the shoot and pricing and payment options.
-STEP 2: CLICK https://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina
-STEP 3: Choose a date from the drop down menu.
-STEP 4: Select End of the Year Sale. Do NOT select Session Fee or it will make you pay the $300 session fee.
-STEP 5: Choose a time listed. If no times are listed at this step, that means that date is fully booked and you'll have to go back and try a different date. Most dates will have time availability, but especially any available weekend dates book quickly. Sometimes if the date is full, it has a message that says there are no appointment times for the month. That is a glitch in the system. Only that date, not the month, is full. So you can go back and check other dates.
-STEP 6: Fill out your contact info. To get the End of the Year Sale, in the CODE box, type: End of the Year
Make sure you type your info, especially your email address, correctly or we may not be able to contact you.
-STEP 7: Click "proceed to payment." Sometimes this step is a little slow, so you may have to wait a minute for it to load. Once the page loads, check the info and then click "proceed to checkout." It will then take you to PayPal where you can pay the $69 session fee with PayPal, credit/debit, or PayPal Credit. This payment is a non refundable (no exceptions) retainer that reserves your date and time.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOS
One of the most common question I get, is what should you do with these photos. You have a ton of photos that you love and don't want deleted, but now what do you do with them? The two things to consider when choosing what to buy are what you plan to do with the images and which images you love.
First, if you want to flaunt your gorgeousness, I recommend getting a 16x20 or bigger print or canvas to hang in your room. Some people like to get three 16x20 prints to put above the bed. For those of you who are concerned about not showing certain types of images in public, there will be modest pictures too :).
For those giving these as a gift, I'd recommend doing an album or Little Black Book. That way you are handing the person a tangible gift that they can look at whenever they want. The really nice thing about the books are that they're small and versatile. If the person wants to display the book on their nightstand, they can leave it out. If you guys want to keep these images between the two of you, the book is nice and small and can easily be tucked away.
Digitals are our best selling product. People like to keep these memories. Although I cannot release the printing rights over the images since I want to maintain the quality, you can do whatever you want with these images in the digital format. Digitals are such an easy way to preserve these memories. You can save them to your computer and have access to them whenever you want, you can set them as a screensaver on your computer, a background on your phone, you can put them in a digital frame, you can put them in a slideshow, or just keep them on your phone so you can scroll through them whenever you want that boost of confidence or to show to a friend. And if you want to show these off on Facebook or other social media, there will be more modest shots that Facebook will approve :). You look stunning in these photos and why wouldn't you want your friends to at least see a couple of the less revealing ones? Digitals can be used in so many ways and can be saved and archived, which is why most of our clients choose to get the 20+ digital package.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
I take all forms of payment, including cash, check, credit, money order, PayPal and PayPal Credit. If using American Express, that does have to be done through PayPal as my payment processor no longer accepts them.
If you decided on your package before your shoot and make payments that will be finished by your shoot date, or you pay in full before your shoot, a 50% discount on your package instead of the 40% that comes with this deal. If you order any digitals and pay in full before the shoot date, I will also give you a complimentary black and white gallery of all the digitals you purchased ($49 value) to thank you for your pre-session ordering. You can still add more after your session if you want to add more to your package.
If you want to order your package before your shoot and pay it or start making payments, you can email me at [email protected] and let me know the package you want. I'll send you the total after tax and then send you an invoice that you can pay or make payments on online.
If you're interested in PayPal Credit, you can use it to purchase your package before or after your session, but if you purchase before the session, you get the pre-session perks. You can apply for PayPal Credit right now at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit
It's fast and easy to apply and see if you are accepted. With PayPal Credit there are no fees or interest if you pay it off within 6 months from the date of purchase. If you need more than 6 months, you can take as long as you need to pay it off, but there may be fees associated with taking longer. But you can apply today and if you're accepted, your 6 months doesn't start until the date of purchase. If you're paying with PayPal credit, be sure to let me know that if you're doing a pre-session payment so I can send you the invoice. If you're paying at your ordering session, you can just let me know at the ordering session.
If you need a payment plan but didn't get accepted for PayPal Credit, I do in house financing too; however, you only have 3 months if you're doing the payment plan with me and I cannot release anything until all payments are finished. You need to put $150 down to start the payment plan at your ordering appointment and you'll fill out a form and let me know the dates/amounts that I'm authorized to charge the card you use. I can take any card type for the payment plan done directly through me.
PRICING AND PRODUCTS
Okay, here's what you've been waiting for- the numbers! :)

The 20+ package has no limit. So if I show you 100 images, you can have them all for the same price. Once you pay for 20, anything beyond that is free.
A black and white gallery of all purchased digitals can be added to your package for just $49.
Books:
A 20 page book can have anywhere from 20-40 images in it. I recommend having around 35 images. If you have more than 40 image you want in the book, you can add extra spreads (2 pages). Each extra spread can have up to 5 images and is $40 per spread.

Deal Packages:
Our deal packages are our best value and what most clients get. I decided to offer this package because most of my clients want a physical product, but they have tons they love that won't fit in the book and they don't want to lose their images. So these packages makes it easier to get a book and still have all the digitals so you don't lose anything you love.
Package 1: 20+ digitals and 20 page 8x6 Little Black Book $975 (normally $1750) (40% off would be $585 and 50% off would be $487.50)
OR
Package 2: 20+ digitals, black and whites of digitals and 20 page 8x11 Crystal Glance Flush Mount Album $1525 (normally $2145) (40% off would be $915 and 50% off would be $762.50)
DON'T LOSE YOUR IMAGES
You look stunning! Don't lose these images! Choose your favorites and then decide which package works best for you. If you need a payment plan, just let me know and we'll get that set up.
I have a promotion going on right now on our two most popular items. Most people get the 20+ digital package and the Little Black Book. If you decide to get the 20+ digitals and the Little Black Book, you can get them for a total of $975 right now instead of the $1750 they normally are. Or you can upgrade that deal package to include the black and whites and get the Crystal Glance album for just $550 more!

Why Boudoir?
Boudoir photography is quickly becoming popular. The biggest reason is that these sexy photos make great gifts. They can be given from a bride to her groom on the wedding day or as a honeymoon gift. They can be given from a military significant other to her deployed soldier. They can also be given as a birthday, Christmas or anniversary gift, or just because.
What a lot of people don't consider is that these photos also make great gifts for you to give yourself, ladies. Most of my clients come here feeling a little nervous and insecure about their bodies. When they leave, they tell me that the shoot was so much fun and an awesome experience. In fact, many of my clients let me know that they'll be back in a few months to do it again. When they come back to view the photos, they're always in love with them. I've had so many of my clients tell me that they've never seen themselves so beautiful. They thank me for showing them how stunning they really are, and most of them end up getting all the digitals and a book because they don't want to leave these photos behind. This really is a fun, confidence building experience. I promise, you'll love it! :)
What Others Say About Boudoir with Trina:
PS Photography Boudoir FAQ's: What to Expect at Your Shoot
A few quick FAQs:
-Your photographer will be a female :)
-The shoot will be taking place at 2512 S C Street Tacoma, WA 98402
-We highly recommend all of our clients get their hair and makeup professionally done. If you're looking for recommendations of stylists, we can certainly recommend some. Check the bottom of this page for some recommendations. Please come to the studio fully ready so that getting your hair and makeup ready will not take out of your shoot time.
-For a 20 minute session, we can only do one outfit. What people choose to wear varies greatly. Some people like to wear a cute dress, while others a corset, cute bra set, night gown, jersey, topless... Or you can let me dress you in sheets, blankets and Christmas lights that I have at the studio.
-The turn around time is approx. 2 weeks from your shoot date, so make sure you book with enough time; however, we do have some rush processing options. $40 for 5 day turn around and $20 for 10 day turn around time. I likely won't go over these options, so please bring it up in an email before or right after your shoot if you know you'll want rush editing.
-You can bring a friend to the shoot if you wish, but she will need to be a female. Friends are NOT permitted to take photos with their camera or cell phone. If I see someone taking photos during the shoot I will ask them to stop and things will probably be awkward from that point on. If they continue, the shoot will be over and any remaining session time will be forfeited. If you are bringing a friend to your shoot, it is your responsibility to let them know that other than the hired photographer, photography is NOT permitted in the studio at any time.
-Once your photos are done, you'll come to my downtown Tacoma location and choose the ones you want. All photo ordering sessions happen at my downtown Tacoma office. There are no exceptions unless you pay in advance for all the digitals or the digitals and the book. Unless you're purchasing all the digitals, you do have to come meet in person and view them. I do not ever release anything online that hasn't been purchased. All decisions do have to be made at this appointment.
-All our clients love their photos. Most clients spend between $875-$1500 on images/products for full sessions. With this deal we will be discounting everything to 40% off. If you decide on your package before your shoot and want to pay in full before the shoot email me at [email protected] and you'll get 50% off instead of 40% off. You can view the full pricing guide here.
-If you're unable to pay in full, you can set up a payment plan or use PayPal credit. If you're interested in looking into PayPal Credit, you can do so at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit They offer 6 month with no interest and no fees.
-Any images you get in a digital format are for digital use only. Any prints you would like do have to be ordered through us. We take great pride in our work and want you to have beautifully displayed images that have been professionally printed.
-All photos have basic retouching done, and will have skin softening. If you want advanced editing on more photos, such as more skin softening and body contouring, that can be done for $20 per edit, per image. Certain edits may need to be outsourced and I'll have to provide a custom quote for those. Most people love the photos with the original edits, and rarely does anyone request advanced editing, so I recommend you view the photos first, and then decide if you want to add extra editing to your package.
-I will not use your photos in my portfolio without your permission.
-All shoots, photo ordering sessions and print/album pick ups are by appointment only. Please only show up if you have a confirmed appointment. To schedule a shoot appointment, go to http://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina For all other appointments, email me at [email protected].
-All scheduling happens online at http://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina I recommend scheduling from a computer and not a mobile device as mobile devices sometimes don't finish the booking process. Once you schedule you'll get an auto confirmation in your email. If you don't get that auto confirmation, message us at [email protected] to verify that you're on the calendar.
-Any dates showing on the calendar that do not show time slots are already fully booked. If someone cancels for that day, the time slot will appear back on the calendar at that time. What's listed on the calendar is my complete availability.
-If you have any questions about your appointment that have not been addressed here, you can messages me at [email protected] Please do NOT message me on Facebook messenger. I do not have it on my phone and will likely not get any messages sent through messenger. Even if I do get a message and respond to it, please do all future correspondence through my email at [email protected]
-If you get to your shoot early, you can text me at 206-900-1336 and if I'm free I'll let you know that you can come in.
-There are no refunds or reschedules for this special. Your $45 session fee doubles as a retainer to reserve your date.
-If you are more than 10 minutes late and do not text or email me, I will assume you are a no show and may leave the studio or start my next session. If you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, you must email me at [email protected] and/or text 206-900-1336 letting me know you are still coming and we will shoot with whatever time is still left in your time-slot. I'm a fast and efficient photographer, so even if we don't have a lot of time, I can still get a ton of amazing things, so please don't stress if you're late. I am unable to go over time as I will likely have another appointment after yours. If you miss your appointment or show up late, you will not receive a refund. All retainers/session fees are non-refundable. So please make sure to map on the address in advance and plan for traffic and other obstacles.
-Only females will be in studio/at the location during your shoot. Often it will only be me (Trina). Sometimes my administrative assistant, Grace, will be in studio.
-The main entrance to the studio is a garage door. I keep it shut during shoots and typically keep it shut between shoots so we don't let all the heat out. When you arrive, just text me at 206-900-1336 and let me know you're there. Please only use that number on the shoot date and ordering appointment date. Any other time, please email me at [email protected] as I only keep that phone on my on shoot and appointment dates. If you arrive early and text me, I may not be able to get right back to you as I might be in a shoot still.
-After you text, once I'm ready I'll open the garage door and let you in. Please do not try to open the garage door yourself as if it's closed I may not be ready for you.
-To view more of our boudoir work, you can go to http://psphotography-video.com and click the link for the boudoir section. Or for more recent work you can view photos in the boudoir group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/boudoirphotographer/
-If you have anymore questions, you can contact me at [email protected] and Grace (my administrative assistant) or I will get back to you.
-Thanks so much, and I look forward to working with you!
Hair and Makeup Recommendations
-Most clients love their photos even more if they got their hair and makeup professionally done. I also find those that get their hair and makeup done often feel more confident during the shoot. Here are some ladies that I have worked with and highly recommend. If you do decide to go with one of them, make sure you let them know that you're having your shoot with me. Please note that because I'm often shooting back to back, your hair and makeup time cannot happen at my studio. You will have to go to your stylist's location, have them come to you if they're willing, or meet them somewhere. Thanks for understanding, and feel free to check out these awesome ladies!

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR CUDDLE PHOTOS
One of the most common question I get, is what should you do with these photos. You have a ton of photos that you love and don't want deleted, but now what do you do with them? The two things to consider when choosing what to buy are what you plan to do with the images and which images you love.
First, if you want to flaunt your love for each other, I recommend getting a 16x20 or bigger print or canvas to hang in your home. Or you can get a few 11x14 or 8x10 prints to make a collage on your wall.
Many people also love to get extra prints to give to family members. Some even frame them and give them as a Christmas gift.
We offer book options for those who want to have an album to look through or to have out on your coffee table so guests can look through it and see your love for each other.
Digitals are our best selling product. People like to keep these memories. Although I cannot release the printing rights over the images since I want to maintain the quality, you can do whatever you want with these images in the digital format. Digitals are such an easy way to preserve these memories. If you have the digitals, you can always order prints through us. You can save them to your computer and have access to them whenever you want. And don't forget to show off these gorgeous photos of the two of you on your social media pages :). You will look stunning in these photos and the will show off your love and passion for each other. Your friends and family will love seeing them. Digitals can be used in so many ways and can be saved and archived, which is why most of our clients choose to get the 20+ digital package.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
I take all forms of payment, including cash, check, credit, money order, PayPal and PayPal Credit. If using American Express, that does have to be done through PayPal as my payment processor no longer accepts them.
If you decided on your package before your shoot and make payments that will be finished by your shoot date, or you pay in full before your shoot, I will give you a $50 discount on your package. If you order any digitals, I will also give you a complimentary black and white gallery of all the digitals you purchased ($49 value) to thank you for your pre-session ordering. You can still add more after your session if you want to add more to your package.
If you want to order your package before your shoot and pay it or start making payments, you can email me at [email protected] and let me know the package you want. I'll send you the total after tax and then send you an invoice that you can pay or make payments on online.
If you're interested in PayPal Credit, you can use it to purchase your package before or after your session, but if you purchase before the session, you get the pre-session perks. You can apply for PayPal Credit right now at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit
It's fast and easy to apply and see if you are accepted. With PayPal Credit there are no fees or interest if you pay it off within 6 months from the date of purchase. If you need more than 6 months, you can take as long as you need to pay it off, but there may be fees associated with taking longer. But you can apply today and if you're accepted, your 6 months doesn't start until the date of purchase. If you're paying with PayPal credit, be sure to let me know that if you're doing a pre-session payment so I can send you the invoice. If you're paying at your ordering session, you can just let me know at the ordering session.
If you need a payment plan but didn't get accepted for PayPal Credit, I do in house financing too; however, you only have 3 months if you're doing the payment plan with me and I cannot release anything until all payments are finished. You need to put $150 down to start the payment plan at your ordering appointment and you'll fill out a form and let me know the dates/amounts that I'm authorized to charge the card you use. I can take any card type except for American Express for the payment plan done directly through me.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOS
One of the most common question I get, is what should you do with these photos. You have a ton of photos that you love and don't want deleted, but now what do you do with them? The two things to consider when choosing what to buy are what you plan to do with the images and which images you love.
First, if you want to flaunt your gorgeousness, I recommend getting a 16x20 or bigger print or canvas to hang in your room. Some people like to get three 16x20 prints to put above the bed. For those of you who are concerned about not showing certain types of images in public, there will be modest pictures too :).
For those giving these as a gift, I'd recommend doing an album or Little Black Book. That way you are handing the person a tangible gift that they can look at whenever they want. The really nice thing about the books are that they're small and versatile. If the person wants to display the book on their nightstand, they can leave it out. If you guys want to keep these images between the two of you, the book is nice and small and can easily be tucked away.
Digitals are our best selling product. People like to keep these memories. Although I cannot release the printing rights over the images since I want to maintain the quality, you can do whatever you want with these images in the digital format. Digitals are such an easy way to preserve these memories. You can save them to your computer and have access to them whenever you want, you can set them as a screensaver on your computer, a background on your phone, you can put them in a digital frame, you can put them in a slideshow, or just keep them on your phone so you can scroll through them whenever you want that boost of confidence or to show to a friend. And if you want to show these off on Facebook or other social media, there will be more modest shots that Facebook will approve :). You look stunning in these photos and why wouldn't you want your friends to at least see a couple of the less revealing ones? Digitals can be used in so many ways and can be saved and archived, which is why most of our clients choose to get the 20+ digital package.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
I take all forms of payment, including cash, check, credit, money order, PayPal and PayPal Credit. If using American Express, that does have to be done through PayPal as my payment processor no longer accepts them.
If you decided on your package before your shoot and make payments that will be finished by your shoot date, or you pay in full before your shoot, I will give you a $50 discount on your package. If you order any digitals and pre-pay, I will also give you a complimentary black and white gallery of all the digitals you purchased ($49 value) to thank you for your pre-session ordering. You can still add more after your session if you want to add more to your package.
If you want to order your package before your shoot and pay it or start making payments, you can email me at [email protected] and let me know the package you want. I'll send you the total after tax and then send you an invoice that you can pay or make payments on online.
If you're interested in PayPal Credit, you can use it to purchase your package before or after your session, but if you purchase before the session, you get the pre-session perks. You can apply for PayPal Credit right now at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-credit

PS PHOTOGRAPHY
Hello Gorgeous! We have our family session calendar up. Jonathan or I (Trina) will be your photographer. Jonathan does most of our family sessions, so likely you'll be working with him for these. These sessions are at a huge discount and we will not be offering these prices again, so if you want this deal, you'll want to book right away.
I ran a poll in the group and most people were interested in the option of a 15 minute shoot with 5 digital images for $100+tax, but I'm sweetening that deal by offering 15 minute sessions with 15 digital images for $100+tax and I'll have your photos delivered to you via downloadable online gallery just three days after your shoot. I hate waiting for photos, so I don't want to make you wait longer than that :) Some people expressed interest in having a longer shoot. The way our calendar is set up is that there is 15 minutes between each shoot. So if you book two back to back shoots, we'll give you that 15 minute between time at no cost. So you can get a 45 minute shoot with 40 digital images delivered in just 3 days for just $200+tax.
To schedule:
1) Go to https://psphotography.
2) Click the "continue to step 2" button
3) It will show you time options. If no time options are showing, that is because they are already booked and you'll have to go back and choose another date. Otherwise, if options are still showing, choose the one you're interested in. If you want a 45 minute shoot, be sure to choose a time that still shows a time available that starts 15 minutes after the time you selected ends.
4) Fill out the form with your contact information. Make sure you don't have typos in your contact info or we may not be able to reach you. In the "additional comments" box, please let us know the names and ages of the kids involved, how many people are in your family, or if you're using this for another shoot type such as couples, engagement, graduation, senior, headshots...
5) Click the "reserve my appointment" button and wait to receive a confirmation email stating that your appointment is reserved. If you don't receive anything from us with 15 minutes of booking, your appointment may not have gone through. You can email us at [email protected] to check if your appointment was reserved.
6) If you wanted to take advantage of the 45 minute session you will have to go through the process again and choose the time 15 minutes after the original appointment you scheduled is scheduled to end or the appointment that ends 15 minutes before the appointment you scheduled is scheduled to start.
7) Within 24 hours of scheduling you'll receive an online invoice. You can pay with any type of card except American Express. Spots will not be held without a payment. We cannot accept cash or check for these and will not be taking payments the day of the shoot. Please do NOT schedule if you're not ready to pay. Payment is due in full within 24 hours of receiving the online invoice, but for those wanting to split it up, after you receive your invoice, email me letting me know you want to split it into two payments and I can send you an invoice for 1/2 of what is due and then the remainder will be due at least 72 hours before your shoot. That is the only payment option other than paying in full that I can offer right now. These payments act as non-refundable retainers to hold your date. There will no refunds and we will not be able to make any exceptions as once you book you're holding a spot that someone else is no longer able to book.
Thank you so much and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you! <3 :)

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOS
The second most common question I get, is what should you do with these photos. You have a ton of photos that you love and don't want deleted, but now what do you do with them? The two things to consider when choosing what to buy are what you plan to do with the images and which images you love.
First, if you want to flaunt your gorgeousness, I recommend getting a 16x20 or bigger print, canvas or metal print to hang in your room. Some people like to get three 16x20 prints to put above the bed. For those of you who are concerned about not showing certain types of images in public, there will be modest pictures too :).
For those giving these as a gift, I'd recommend doing an album or Little Black Book. That way you are handing the person a tangible gift that they can look at whenever they want. The really nice thing about the books are that they're small and versatile. If the person wants to display the book on their nightstand, they can leave it out. If you guys want to keep these images between the two of you, the book is nice and small and can easily be tucked away.
Digitals are our best selling product. People like to keep these memories. Although I cannot release the printing rights over the images since I want to maintain the quality, you can do whatever you want with these images in the digital format. Digitals are such an easy way to preserve these memories. You can save them to your computer and have access to them whenever you want. And if you want to show these off on Facebook or other social media, there will be more modest shots that Facebook will approve :). You look stunning in these photos and why wouldn't you want your friends to at least see a couple of the headshots? Digitals can be used in so many ways and can be saved and archived, which is why most of our clients choose to get the 15+ digital package.
PRICING AND PRODUCTS
Okay, here's what you've been waiting for- the numbers! :)
These are the digital packages
15+ images= $675
10 images= $575

20x24= $315
16x20= $205

DON'T LOSE YOUR IMAGES
You look stunning! Don't lose these images! Choose your favorites and then decide which option of prints, a book or digitals works best for you. If you need a payment plan, just let me know and we'll get that set up. Again, there's no pressure to get anything beyond your package, but almost all of my clients do get more because they love them. I truly hope you love your images too!!!
I have a promotion going on right now on our two most popular items. Most people get the 15+ image disk and the Little Black Book. If you decide to get the 15+ image disk and the Little Black Book (or slip-in album), you can get them for a total of $875 right now instead of the $1350 they normally are.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I cannot wait to work with you! I'd love to give you some more information on what to expect and how to prepare.
The studio is located in downtown Tacoma at 313 S 7th St, Tacoma, WA 98402. It's an orange building on 7th between Market and Broadway. There is a skate shop below us and a pizza place next to us. You will go up a few steps to get to our door. If you come on a Sunday, all the parking is free. Any other day of the week, the 4 spots in front of the studio and pizza place are free, the rest of the block is metered. However, if you drive up to Market and turn right, there usually is a lot of free street parking, or if you drive down to Broadway and turn left you can find free parking. Please map the location before heading out as we will be with clients all day and may not have time to help with directions, but if you need to reach us you can email at [email protected] or call us at 206-900-1336.
This is a 30 minute session for $99+tax. An online invoice will be emailed to you within 12 hours of you scheduling. You will have 24 hours to pay that after it is sent. Please do NOT book a session unless you are prepared to pay right away. We will not be holding spots as these sessions are in high demand and will fill right away. If the session is not paid for within 24 hours of the invoice being sent, the session will be cancelled.
Please arrive a few minutes early to check in. As I will be shooting back to back, if you are late, I cannot extend your session time, but we will still shoot with whatever time is left in your slot.
This shoot includes 40 digital images for digital use. 3-4 sets will be used. Please know that 40 images are only guaranteed if the clients are on time and cooperate. These will be high resolution images with no watermarks. An online gallery will be given to each client. It will remain up for 3 months unless the client asks us to take it down. You are more than welcome to share this gallery with friends and family. You will be able to download the images from this gallery straight to your computer. You will also have the option to purchase prints and products through this gallery.
All final images are up to the discretion of the photographer. Not every image taken will turn out or make it into the gallery. Editing is also up to the discretion of the photographer. If client seeks any additional edits, those may be able to be done for an additional fee. In the case that the editing is more than the photographer can do, it may be able to be outsourced, but again, that will be for an additional fee.
There are no refunds whatsoever. Your payment also acts as a retainer to hold your spot. In the event that you cannot make your shoot, you must give the photographer up to 48 hours notice and you will have the opportunity to choose from another date/time that is still available.
This session is for immediate family only- so parents and the children in their household. If you wish to include extended family, there will be an additional $10 fee per person. When booking, in the notes section, please list the names and ages of all those in your family. If you wish to include friends or extended family, please note how many people.
If you choose to bring a pet, they must be held or on a leash the whole time. There are no exceptions.
If you wish to bring props, you may do so. However, weapons cannot be used as props and cannot be brought in studio. Thank you for respecting this.
If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected] To schedule, just go to https://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/christmas
Thanks so much and we can't wait to work with you!!! <3

REVIEWS AND TESTIMONIALS FROM LADIES WHO HAVE WORKED WITH TRINA FOR A BOUDOIR SHOOT:
These are some of the things my clients have said, and these are statements are exactly why I know that being a boudoir photographer is right where I'm supposed to be:
-"I originally thought I was doing this shoot for my husband, as we are newlyweds. Then when I went to look at my pictures I realized that I did this for me! This was for my emotional healing after a 17 years marriage that was filled with infidelity and lies.
Thank you Trina Heppner, for allowing me to see my beauty!"
-" It took a lot of courage for me to be able to do this after i had my son. I felt unatrractive and pretty "blah". Im so glad i did. I feel as though it really brought out my femininity and made me feel attractive again!"
-"Just got done seeing my photos and ladies she is no joke, so beyond talented! Not only did she make me feel sexy and confident during taking the pictures, but she captured beauty that I have a hard time seeing in myself sometimes....thank you so much! "
-"I was so uncomfortable in my own skin and she walked in with such a glow, such strength and empowerment I could feel the confidence throughout the shoot.. Made me feel adequate, good enough, amazing!"
-"I loved the fact that I could feel so beautiful at my age and size. Your professionalism is awesome. Every woman should have the opportunity to feel that great"
-"Lately I haven't liked any photos of myself because I have gained a little extra weight, and being a thick person already. I hate my tummy. Photos other people take of me never look good and selfish do when I can get the right angle lol. I loved that I felt pretty when I looked at my photos and that I liked them. That my size didn't matter."
-"Ladies - You do not have to be a size 0 to do this. I am a size 22 and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Trina Heppner. I was so nervous going in and by the end of it you would have thought this was my 20th time doing it! It is such a confidence builder! If you question your confidence at all then DO THIS for yourself!"
-"I just left my photo ordering appt! I had a wonderful session with Trina a couple of weeks ago and was so excited to see my pictures. I was also terrified! I was scared that they were going to be embarrassing and, well basically "why did you think you could actually pull off boudior pics?" That's what I went in thinking. Well HOLY SMOKES! She is amazing at what she does!!! She REALLY is. I have never felt more beautiful! Everyone needs to experience this amazing feeling. Be brave and let Trina show you how beautiful you really are!"
-"I was so nervous driving to the studio my fiancé tells me everyday that I'm beautiful but after having kids and putting on weight I've been really down on myself. I've been looking into doing boudoir for some time now and finally got up enough courage to do it. Trina Heppner was very welcoming as soon as I walked in the studio her energy and the energy in the studio was very calm and made me instantly feel like I was ready. Plus I took forever on my makeup lol so I had to get some use out of it lol. But with the guidance from Trina I could feel my confidence rising. I honestly have never felt so beautiful in my life. Thank you Trina for helping me feel beautiful again I truly appreciate you and the art you do for us woman💖☺️"
-"As a mother who delivered seven babies I can say I had some hesitation in doing boudoir photos however Trina made me feel so comfortable. She was amazing at letting you know what to expect and positioning you so your best features would shine through. I felt a lot more confident with her coaching me as I went along. I was blown away with how many pictures I fell in love with!! Only wished I had done it at a little later so I could have bought the digitalis."
-"I have followed Trina and her work for a few months. When I had left my husband due to some unfortunate circumstances I felt this overpowering feeling. I scheduled for March and when the day came...I had my makeup and hair done by Amanda and wow!!! I felt like a new person. Trina makes you feel so comfortable. The initial awkwardness was getting changed into your outfit but after that you forget that feeling and instantly I was comfortable. The session lasted 45 mins and she was very patient. Having seen the photos you can't just choose one. Yes it may seem "expensive" but when you think about it it's WORTH it in the end. Thank you sooo much Trina. I will be doing it again soon. 😍"
-"I initially made my appointment with Trina so I could gift photos to my guy. When I was finished I realized I had gifted myself! I felt so confident and gorgeous leaving the studio! I plan to do this again, thank you Trina!"
-"After going through a really long life of self doubt, insecurities and feeling like I just wasn't beautiful, I met Trina and set up a boudior photo shoot. The experience was absolutely unbelievable! Not only was a completely comfortable during the shoot, but she listened to every opinion I had and worked really quickly! She did not ever rush, but she definitely knows how to use ALL of the scheduled time. At my order session, I was so scared and I was telling myself that the pictures were going to be, well, gross. But she opened the first photo, and I couldn't do anything but cry, and thank her. I remember saying "I had no idea that I was that beautiful".
It has changed my life"
-"I had been following PS Photography with Trina and Jonathan for a while. Not only are they amazing people, but they are amazing photographers! Their pictures are second to none!
My first shoot with them was my engagement shoot. We shot in Wright Park in Tacoma. Trina and Jonathan were both ready and willing to move to all different locations within the park. They advised us on how to pose, but still allowed our silly, loving personalities to show through.
Then, they did our wedding photography and videography. They discreetly captured every moment of that special day. The pictures were something straight out of a fairy tale! Our love was captured so beautifully that I still get tears of happiness when I see our photos and video!
After seeing the beautiful work from our previous shoots, I just had to do a boudoir shoot with Trina! I arrived on set to a beautiful studio with tons of wardrobe options, and a dressing room that makes you feel like a movie star! Trina has such a calm, professional aura about her that you completely forget you're half naked! We shot 3 different outfits on tons of different sets and backgrounds! The furniture and props Trina has at her studio are timeless! They give your photos a sexy, classic feel. Trina is an absolute expert in posing the female body. She makes sure the poses she puts you in, flatter every inch of your body. I was so in awe of my photos! I kept having to remind myself that it was me I was looking at, and not some magazine model! They were THAT good! I never dreamt I'd look so beautiful. Especially since I'm not happy with my weight at all. But all those insecurities simply fell away when I saw the pictures. The boudoir shoot experience with Trina is something every woman should do! Seriously, it's practically a right of passage, and a huge boost of confidence. And needless to say, my husband LOVED them too! ;)
All of our photo shoots were edited quickly and we received all of our photos in a quick, timely manner. Each shoot consisted of TONS of amazing photos! I'm so grateful to have these memories to keep forever! I will forever choose Trina and Jonathan for all of my photography and videography needs!"
-"Trina, I appreciate you so much.
**prepare for my long caption explaining my WHY**
It took me a couple hours to find the courage to share just these couple photos. But I just recieved my pictures back from Trina and I couldn't resist.
Boudoir shoots are so much more than just posing in lingerie or naked for your significant other. I have no SO and I simply did this for myself.
This body has been through two pregnancies back to back.
This body has been through emotional and verbal abuse.
This body has been sexually assaulted.
This body is not the body that I used to have.
But I'm done thinking about what I used to be before I went through everything that I did.
This photoshoot helped me find my confidence and appreciate what I have. I may not be a 00 but I love myself and as silly as it is, this photoshoot is a good part of what made me realize that.
A boudoir shoot is so much more than just posing for your SO. A boudoir shoot is to help remind you of who you are and how beautiful you are."
-"When I first took these pics last summer I was just out of my only ever relationship which was like 13 years long. My ex was not supportive of me doing boudoir because of my weight, and wanted me to wait till after I lost weight to do a session. Our relationship was abruptly ended due to domestic violence, which was really hard on me. I had this session with Trina 4 months later when I was getting to a lot better place. I was a little nervous to try boudoir, but knew it was something I really wanted to do. I think it helped me with my confidence, and helped me on my healing journey. Fast forward to now, and I have an amazing fiance who is such an amazing partner, and we are a really great match for each other, and incredibly happy. We have a baby on the way <3 I am currently 27 weeks pregnant, and looking forward to do a boudoir session again with Trina the end of January. I cant wait for my maternity session, and to celebrate this special time in my life, and for my ever changing body
<3 I am so happy to be a part of this group, and be able to share my pics, and a bit of my story

You need to find a photographer who is going to capture your son or daughter as they are, to really capture their personality. You need to find someone with the experience to get the right expressions, the ones only they do. Someone who can put them in the right poses and in the right lighting, and who provides the kinds of products -- prints, canvases, metal prints, digital images, that you're looking for.
You are more than welcome to accompany your son or daughter. But it is important to know that sometimes its okay to take a step back. If your senior feels like they're crowded or there are too many people watching them or giving direction, they may not be able to loosen up and they might look a little stiff in the photos. We want them to relax and really capture their personality.
After the session we will set up a time to look at the photos and figure out what prints you would like. We will look at wall portraits, gift prints, and digital products.
There are a couple of differences in how we shoot guys and how we shoot ladies. Please read on.
Hair and Makeup
We have coordinated with Hair and Makeup artists to offer you professional quality and absolute convenience. Just let us know that you would like to add hair and/or makeup and we will coordinate everything for you.
Posing and Style
We will go over everything with you at the shoot to make sure we use poses that flatter your appearance and that you know what to do and make sure you feel comfortable.
Wardrobe and Props
We encourage you to bring a change of clothes if you want, and anything meaningful that you might want to have photographed with you. A pet, a musical instrument, a sports uniform. We want to see who you are in the photos, and props can really help make that work.
For the Guys
Some guys are a little more hesitant about getting their photos taken. Some guys think it's more for girls and they just want their yearbook photo and they're done. That's fine. But what if your photographer was a special ops recon photographer with a background in photojournalism who shoots in an editorial style. Does that change things a little? There's nothing wrong with guys getting their photos taken, they just want to do something cool.
What to Wear
We recommend you bring a change of clothes. That way you can have something a little formal, and something a little more casual.
Props
Feel free to bring your dog, your guitar, your car, your football helmet, or anything else that represents who you are.
How to Pose
We will work with you to make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Most people don't have a lot of modeling experience and don't know how to stand. So we will go over everything and make sure you know how to rock your shoot.

Please, do NOT be a bride who regrets not getting beautiful images of her wedding.

People naturally want to congratulate you. An engagement party gives them this opportunity, as well as facilitates your different groups of friends and family getting to know each other. It’s especially a great time for the bride’s family and the groom’s family to get closer to each other.
The choosing of one’s wedding date and venue go hand in hand. You should choose your venue before your date. What if you find your dream venue, only to find that it’s not available on the date that you’ve given everyone? Have an idea of the dates you’re interested in, but be flexible unless the date has great significance to you. Need venue ideas in the Greater Seattle Tacoma area? Check out our Pinterest Board for Western WA Wedding Venues https://www.pinterest.com/seattleweddings/seattle-wa-wedding-venues/
It’s important to choose your party early on since you’ll want their emotional support from the beginning, as well as their presence during the whole planning process. Traditionally parties have 4 attendants each, but it’s okay to break the rules. If you want 1 attendant or 10, it’s up to you. Just keep in mind that the more people in your party, the more people you’ll need to coordinate things with. Don’t choose your party lightly. These people will be with you through the whole process and you need people who will encourage you and be there for you even if things get stressful.
It’s important to set up a realistic, but flexible budget. Before setting up your wedding budget, it’s a good idea to find out how much services cost and make a list of your priorities. For example, if photos are your priority, you might want to spend a little less on food.
A good way to get an idea of how much you should expect to spend on different services is to enter the zip code of where you hope to have your wedding into the Cost of the Wedding site at http://www.costofwedding.com/ Remember that the cost of a well experienced professional is often much higher than these averages.
Sometimes what you really want isn’t within your budget. That doesn’t mean that you have to forego it. Some vendors will work with you in setting up a payment plan, and some will even accept payments after the wedding date. Most will not offer this upfront, but if you want something that isn’t in the budget, don’t hesitate to ask your vendors if they have payment plan options or even if they take credit. Your vendors probably can’t lower their prices because they’re charging what they need to in order to keep their business running and to support their families; however, many of them will work with you to make the process as easy as possible for you. So do ask if they have payment plan options if your desires are outside of your budget.
The engagement photo session is a great way to start your planning process. It’s a fun experience and it will give you photos to show off to your friends and family. It’s also an opportunity to learn the poses and to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding. It’s also a great opportunity to test working with a photographer before committing to spend thousands on the wedding photography with them. One way to do this is to book a smaller engagement package and then upgrade to more images once you see them. You can purchase our engagement deal at https://www.groupon.com/deals/ps-photography-video-4 for just $39 and if you love the images like most of our clients do, then you can upgrade the package. If you want ideas for how to use your engagement photos, check out our blog post at http://psphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2013/4/outdoor-couples-and/or-engagement-photos

So why would you want a couples shoot? Many people don't think this type of shoot is important, but they realize the importance later down the road. Those who never get a couples or engagement session often regret it. It's not about getting your photo taken, but rather about capturing your love and emotion for each other. That's something that you do want documented and something that you will love and cherish forever. We don't know what tomorrow holds, so capture these moments when you still have them.
We all have cameras these days, so you probably have tons of snap shots of the two of you together. These shoots that PS Photography offers are not about a photo of the two of you standing there, but rather about art that captures your emotions for each other. Your shoot will take place with either Trina or Jonathan, who are both award winning photographers based out of Tacoma, WA. Both Jonathan and Trina with PS Photography were named the #1 wedding photography, #1 wedding videographer and #1 portrait photographer by the King5 Evening Best of Western WA. They will be able to create stunning art that you'll be proud to hang on your wall and show off to your friends on social media.
If you're engaged, this shoot type is especially a must have. An engagement shoot is a fun experience and can give you a break from all of the wedding planning. It’s an exciting way to have something special for the both of you to keep and remember.
There are also many ways you can use these photos in preparation for your wedding such as:
-use it as a centerpiece for your guests
-use them to create a slideshow to play at the ceremony or reception
-create a guestbook or photo album for guest to view
-use on your wedding website
-décor for the reception
-invitations or Save the Date

Why Boudoir?
Boudoir photography is quickly becoming popular. The biggest reason is that these sexy photos make great gifts. They can be given from a bride to her groom on the wedding day or as a honeymoon gift. They can be given from a military s/o to her deployed soldier. They can also be give as a birthday or anniversary gift, or just because.
What a lot of people don't consider is that these photos also make great gifts for you to give yourself ladies. Most of my clients come here feeling a little nervous, and insecure about their bodies. When they leave, they tell me that the shoot was so much fun and an awesome experience. In fact, many of my clients let me know that they'll be back in a few months to do it again. When they come back to view the photos, they're always in love with them. I've had so many of my clients tell me that they've never seen themselves so beautiful. They thank me for showing them how stunning they really are, and most of them end up getting the whole disk because they don't want to leave these photos behind. This really is a fun, confidence building experience. I promise, you'll love it! :) Boudoir shoots make awesome grooms gifts, and I can get a couple more ladies in before Valentines too. If you want to find out more about the experience, watch this short video :) The boudoir studio is located in North Tacoma, but can also be done at our Mountlake Terrace studio.
What Others Say About Boudoir with Trina:
PS Photography Boudoir FAQ's: What to Expect at Your Shoot
A few quick FAQs:
-Your photographer will be a female :)
-We highly recommend all of our clients get their hair and makeup professionally done. If you're looking for recommendations of stylists, we can certainly recommend some. Check the bottom of this page for some recommendations. Unless you booked a session that comes with hair and makeup, please come to the studio fully ready so that getting your hair and makeup ready will not take out of your shoot time.
-For a 45 minute session, we recommend 3 outfits. Since change time does take out of the shoot time, we are generally not able to accommodate more than 3 outfits (you can bring a 4th just in case we have time). Although we have clothing options at the studio, it's recommended that you bring your own that you know you love and you know fit. However, if you want to browse through what we have, you can certainly do that. What people choose to wear varies greatly. Some people like to wear a cute dress, while others a corset, cute bra set, night gown, jersey, or even topless with just underwear or jeans on. I don't shoot full nudes, but if you want some topless shots, we can do that.
-The turn around time is approx. 3 weeks from your shoot date, so make sure you book with enough time; however, we do have some rush processing options for a small fee.
-You can bring a friend to the shoot if you wish, but it will need to be a female. Friends are NOT permitted to take photos with their camera or cell phone. If I see someone taking photos during the shoot I will ask them to stop and things will probably be awkward from that point on. If they continue, the shoot will be over and any remaining session time will be forfeited. If you are bringing a friend to your shoot, it is your responsibility to let them know that other than the hired photographer, photography is NOT permitted in the studio at anytime.
-Once your photos are done, you'll come in studio and choose the ones you want. All photo ordering sessions happen in studio. There are no exceptions. All decisions do have to be made at this appointment.
-Although there is no pressure to get anything beyond your package, all our clients love their photos almost all of them do invest in more. Most clients spend between $400-$1200 on additional images/products. You can view the full pricing guide here.
-Any images you get in a digital format are for digital use only. Any prints you would like do have to be ordered through us. We take great pride in our work and want you to have beautifully displayed images that have been professionally printed.
-All photos have basic retouching done, and some may have skin softening. If you want advanced editing on more photos, such as skin softening and body contouring, that can be done for $20 per edit, per image. Certain edits may need to be outsourced and I'll have to provide a custom quote for those. Most people love the photos with the original edits, and don't see a need for advanced editing, so I recommend you view the photos first, and then decide if you want to add extra editing to your package.
-I will not use your photos in my portfolio without your permission.
-All shoots, photo ordering sessions and print/album pick ups are by appointment only. Please only show up at the studio if you have an appointment. To schedule an appointment, go to http://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina
-All scheduling happens online at http://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina I recommend scheduling from a computer and not a mobile device as mobile devices sometimes don't finish the booking process. Once you schedule you'll get an auto confirmation in your email. If you don't get that auto confirmation, message us at [email protected] to verify that you're on the calendar.
-Any dates showing on the calendar that do not show time slots are already fully booked. If someone cancels for that day, the tim eslot will appear back on the calendar at that time. I typically don't book more than 5-6 weeks out and cannot take custom date requests at this time. What's listed on the calendar is my complete availability.
-If you have any questions about your appointment that have not been addressed here, you can messages me at [email protected] Please do NOT message me on Facebook messenger. I do not have it on my phone and will likely not get any messages sent through messenger. Even if I do get a message and respond to it, please do all future correspondence through my email at [email protected] Please do not arrive more than 10 minutes before your shoot. If you cancel or wish to reschedule and give me less than 72 hours notice, there is a $29 rescheduling fee. There are no exceptions as I likely turned people away from that slot and already committed to pay my babysitter for that time.
-If you are more than 20 minutes late, I will assume you are a no show and may leave the studio or start my next session. If you are going to be more than 20 minutes late, you must email me at [email protected] and/or text 206-900-1336 letting me know you are still coming and we will shoot with whatever time is still left in your time-slot. I am unable to go over time as I will likely have another appointment after yours. If you miss your appointment or show up late, you will not receive a refund. All retainers/session fees are non-refundable. So please make sure to map on the address in advance and plan for traffic and other obstacles.
-Only females will be in studio during your shoot. Often it will only be me (Trina). Sometimes my administrative assistant, Grace, will be in studio. Very occasionally I may have another female client in another room viewing her images while the shoot is happening.
-I mostly shoot Monday-Friday. As a wedding photographer, I have to reserve most of my weekends for weddings, and do not offer boudoir on the weekends. Most shoots happen during the daytime, but I try to keep some evening options available for those who need that. You can check my calendar at http://psphotography.brownbookit.com/schedules/trina (If I have weekends or evenings available I may add them to the calendar for boudoir, but I cannot promise weekends).
-The studio is located at 313 S 7th St, Tacoma, WA. There is metered parking on our street; however, you can typically drive a block or two away and find free street parking. We are in an orange building. You'll go up a few steps to get to the studio. There is a pizza place next to us and a skate shop below us. We are on 7th, between Market and Broadway.
-To view more of our boudoir work, you can go to http://psphotography-video.com and click the link for the boudoir section.
-If you have anymore questions, you can contact me at [email protected] and Grace (my administrative assistant) or I will get back to you. You can also reach us at 206-900-1336; however, since we're with clients most of our time, we can't always answer the phone. If you call, be sure to leave your full name, a detailed message and the best way to reach you and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
-Thanks so much, and I look forward to working with you!
Hair and Makeup Recommendations
-Most clients love their photos even more if they got their hair and makeup professionally done. I also find those that get their hair and makeup done often feel more confident during the shoot. Here are some ladies that I have worked with and highly recommend. If you do decide to go with one of them, make sure you let them know that you're having your shoot with me. Please note that because I'm often shooting back to back, your hair and makeup time cannot happen at my studio. You will have to go to your stylists location, have them come to you if they're willing, or meet them somewhere. Thanks for understanding, and feel free to check out these awesome ladies!

We're excited to announce that we're planning our first PS Photography wedding and engagement promotional video. We're looking for a few couples who want to be in our commercial which will be posted on our website and social media networks. In exchange for your time, we're offering you a free engagement shoot, which normally starts at $300! If you're interested, we'd love to have you apply. On March 9th, we'll announce the couples that we have selected to have work with us on this project.
DETAILS:
Who are we looking for?
-You must be an engaged couple. Please do not apply if you're married, single, or not in the wedding planning process.
-We don't care where you live or where you are getting married, but you must be able to shoot in both Seattle and Mountlake Terrace, WA.
-You must not have already contracted with another wedding photographer. You can be a PS Photography client or have not yet hired a photographer. Out of professional courtesy to our fellow professional wedding photographers, we cannot have another photographer's clients in our commercial. If you've already hired another photographer for your wedding, we're sorry to say that we won't be able to work with you on this commercial project.
-We are looking for a couple who is madly in love with each other and not afraid to show it on camera.
-We are looking for a stylish couple, and although not required, we do recommend that females get their hair and makeup professionally done for this shoot.
-If you win, you must be willing to have your engagement session filmed, as well as come up to our Mountlake Terrace studio and give a video testimony of your experience working with PS Photography. We will also ask for a written review as well.
-Your accepting this shoot will be considered your agreement to a full model release.
What do you get out of this?
-We will choose two couples to have their engagement shoots filmed for the commercial. They will get a 1-2 hour shoot at 1-2 locations. They can bring up to three different outfits as well as props. They will get the shoot, as well as their 20 favorite images in high resolution with printing and sharing rights and a 16x20 print of their favorite image. They will agree to provide a video and written testimony of their experience working with PS Photography.
-We will choose three additional couples to receive free engagement shoots; however, these shoots will not need to be filmed. These couples will get a 45 minute engagement session and their favorite 15 images in high resolution on disk with printing and sharing rights. They can bring up to 2 outfits and as many props as you want. These three couples agree to come to our Mountlake Terrace studio and give a video testimony of their experience working with PS Photography as well as give a written review.
How to apply:
-We want to know about you! Send a message to [email protected] The subject of your message must include PS Photography Commercial Application. You can add your names to the title of the message too so that it's a little easier to sort.
-Tell us about you. If you have an interesting proposal story or story about how you met or things you've gone through together, we want to hear it. Tell us a little about your wedding and your wedding style.
-Let us know how long you've been engaged and when you're wedding will be taking place.
-Attach a photo or two of the two of you.
-Let us know what you love about our work and why you would like this opportunity to work with us on this commercial.
-If there's anything else you want us to know about the two of you or your wedding, let us know that too.
Who will we choose?
It's not everyday that we give out free shoots, and we are putting a lot into this project, so we're not going to make our decisions lightly. We want to work with couples who love our work and will be excited to talk about their experience working with us. We want fun and passionate couples who are in the active process of planning their weddings. Most importantly, we want to work with couples that we connect and click with. We will be choosing these couples based on who we feel will best represent our business. On March 9th, we'll announce the couples that we have selected to have work with us on this project. We will be contacting these couples through email as well as making the announcement on our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/WeddingPhotographyandVideo

]]>Bowser is a unique dog. He's kind of shy and didn't like the camera very much, but we got to know each other and he warmed up to me. I think we got some great shots. I really like his coloring and he has really nice, clear eyes. Not to mention it was a beautiful sunny day after a number of cloudy and rainy Seattle days (I was even getting tired of the rain, and I usually love it). His owners have an old El Camino and we got a couple of shots with that. I love classic cars and I always enjoy photographing them; they make a great background in portraits.

]]>I have overcome many hardships in my lifetime, but these difficulties have made me strong and a fighter. My passions in life are God, my husband, my children, and photography. Photography is not just the click of a button. It's not an automatic amazing image. Rather photography is the art of telling a story with images. It's a skill of capturing moments and emotions. The end result are photos that make you laugh, cry and love. These are something you will love and cherish for a lifetime. This is what I do and who I am.

I took a walk with my kids through the town I grew up in. I just took some snapshots of whatever caught my eye. I used a 300mm lens most of the time to get the shallow depth of field, and get up close to things that are a bit out there. I was using a DX camera (crop sensor) which means the effective zoom was 450mm equivalent. Of course the optical properties are going to be that of a 300mm lens, namely depth of field and compression of space. Longer lenses have more shallow depth of field, blurring out the background. They also compress space, making it look as though things are closer together. Wide angle lenses exaggerate space, making things look farther apart.
I captured images of birds, a local barber shop (the traditional kind, don't see too many of those anymore), and of course, two of my kids. I was really happy with the picture of my kids running to the park. The color saturation in the image was really nice and I liked the composition. Not to mention I got them both on the same step.

Today I'll be shooting the Jenkins-Jones wedding there. I'm charging my batteries, packing my bag, and getting ready to head out in just a few short hours. This couple has a love and a passion that is obvious to anyone who sees them, and I'm so honored that they chose me as their wedding photographer. So not only am I excited to be shooting at the EM Fine Art Gallery, but I'm really excited to be shooting this couple's wedding and I can't wait to share the photos with you.
Here is a photo from their engagement shoot at Pike Place Market in Seattle, WA.

We're both going to be creating blog posts here, and maybe some videos from time to time. We have plans for a pretty awesome video introduction for ourselves, and we'll post that here when we finish it.
Here is a video I made recently for Valentine's Day that I was pretty proud of. It took me some effort to figure out how to link the lights to the music, and of course it takes a lot of time to cut out subjects from the background. But in the end it was well worth it and I'm sure you'll enjoy watching!
