The Portrait Experience Redefined

Pampering isn’t extra. It’s essential.

Some things in life are worth indulging in — and this is one of them.

At Gabby Canario Portraits, you don’t "stand there and act natural". You’re styled, pampered, and guided every step so you feel like a model.

From professional hair and makeup to flattering poses and magazine-style retouching, every detail is designed to make you see yourself in a whole new way.

Because you deserve portraits that make you proud to say, “That’s me.”

When you book a session with us, we promise:
  • ✔ Take the stress off your shoulders so you can fully relax and enjoy being pampered.
  • ✔ Show you how breathtaking you truly are with poses that flatter every curve and angle.
  • ✔ Deliver fully retouched images so gorgeous, you'll want to frame them everywhere.

The

Experience

01

We Connect & Dream

It all begins with a conversation. During our first call, we’ll talk about what you’re dreaming of, what you’d love to see in your portraits, and how you want to feel during your session. This is your chance to share your vision and my chance to start tailoring the experience around you.

02

Secure Your Date

Once we chat about the details, you’ll secure your session on the call by paying your retainer. After that’s booked, you’ll receive a welcome email, prep guides, and all the details you need for the smoothest, most seamless photoshoot.

Design & Style Consultation

Before your photoshoot, we’ll meet over Zoom to plan every detail. From wardrobe and colors to sets and styling, we’ll design your dream session together so you arrive feeling confident, prepared, and excited.

04

Your Photoshoot Day

This is the day it all comes together. You’ll be treated to professional hair and makeup, your outfits will be prepped and styled, and I’ll guide you through each look and pose. We’ll shoot 3–5 different looks depending on our plan, with music playing so you feel completely relaxed and ready to take breathtaking photos.

05

The Viewing & Ordering

After your shoot, we’ll review your portraits together. You’ll choose the images you love most and decide how you’d like to showcase them—whether in a luxury album, wall art, or both. All selected images receive my signature magazine retouching for a cover-model finish.

06

Editing & Print Delivery

Your finalized images will be ready to review in about 3 weeks. This is the time to proof them for any revisions. Once your selections are finalized, your artwork will be ordered and handcrafted in Germany or Italy, arriving within a few short weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

All of our sessions take place in one of our beautiful partner studios located in the Phoenix area (Mesa or Tempe). Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive the exact address along with easy arrival instructions. Each space is private, peaceful, and fully styled to give you the full portrait experience.

I recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks ahead. Weekends go fast, and we want time to plan your looks, glam, and artwork without feeling rushed.

You are in good hands. Posing, lighting, and high-level retouching are all handled with care to highlight your best features and smooth what you’d like softened. We can modify anything that you need!

We recommend planning your session around your own outfits. That way, everything fits perfectly and reflects your personal style.

That said, we do offer a curated studio wardrobe with a small but beautiful selection of high-end gowns, bodysuits, silks, and accessories that you’re welcome to use. If you’re not sure what to bring, we’ll go over everything during your planning call and see if I have options that match your vision. But to get the most from your session, always plan to bring your own.

Final edited images are ready within 3 weeks, depending on your selections. Artwork and albums may take up to 60 days depending on your customizations.

The session fee covers the full creation and customization of your experience. This includes a pre-session planning call to bring your vision to life, professional hair and makeup, wardrobe styling, access to our client closet, and guided posing throughout the day. You’ll enjoy up to 3 to 5 looks, backdrop changes, and a private image reveal right after your session. Session fee may also include a credit applied towards your collection. Digital image collections and artwork are purchased separately.

Payment for your selected collection is due on the day of your session. We do not keep or archive any unpurchased images after your image reveal, so all decisions must be made at that time.

You may also choose to pre-purchase any collection during your planning consult to receive a special bonus/discount.

Custom wall art, heirloom albums, and matted print boxes are available to add on during your ordering appointment.

Image collections start at $1,690. Some clients spend just that, while others invest in albums, create a full canvas wall, and spend up to $10,000. How much you spend is completely up to you!
