PORTRAITS AS EXTRAODINARY AS YOU ARE

The Black Label Collection is our signature portrait experience for the moments when you want something a little more polished, a little more intentional, and a whole lot more personal.


Maybe it’s time to put on the dress you’ve been waiting for an excuse to wear. The suit that makes you feel a little different. The heels, the jewelry, the lipstick. Maybe you’re celebrating an anniversary, a milestone, a new season of life—or maybe you simply want to feel beautiful and have portraits that remind you exactly how you felt.


Think elegant. Think dramatic. Think portraits that feel like they belong on the walls of your home.


And yes, it’s perfect for your high school or college senior, too. Let them dress up, step in front of the camera, and create something polished and confident that says, “Here I am. This is where I’m going.”

Here are a few general questions about Daphne Blount - The Focused Lens Portraits.



If you need more specific answers about other topics, click below to see our full list of all FAQs.

What is included in a Black Label session?l

Each Black Label session is 60 minutes long. Before the session, we offer a complimentary design consult to discuss background options, outfit selection and final product options.

How should we prepare for our session?

Plan your outfits early. Try on everything and have your outfits purchased at least 2–3 weeks ahead of time. Give yourself plenty of time to make changes if something just doesn’t feel right.

Haircuts? About a week before. This gives your hair time to settle in and still look fresh.

Iron or steam your clothes the day before. One less thing to worry about when you're getting ready.

Don’t schedule anything else right before your session. Give yourself a little breathing room. Come relaxed, have fun, and let us take it from there. We’ll guide you through posing and direction every step of the way.

A Few “Don’t Do These” Tips

NO TANNING. Skip tanning beds, self-tanners, spray tans, and tanning products for at least one week before your session. Trust us on this one.

NO TATTOOS, PIERCINGS, OR BODY MODIFICATIONS for at least two weeks before your session. Give your skin plenty of time to heal and settle down.

Most importantly, don’t stress. You don’t have to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to look natural in front of the camera. That’s my job.

What should we wear?

We recommend coordinating colors, but not matching colors.

Patterns & stripes are not recommended, however large prints can be ok. Just ask us and we can provide detailed guidance.

Wear the jewlery girls!!

Makeup should be as you wear it everyday.

Where are Black Label portraits taken?

Black Label portraits are taken exclusively in our studio.


Each session is completely designed around you and your family.

How long does a session last?

All sessions are 60 minutes.

When is the best time to schedule a session?
