Everything about
working with me.

Sessions, pricing, what to wear, musicians, headshots, personal branding, booking — all right here.

✦ Getting Started

The first step is always a free 30-minute Zoom consultation. We talk through what you're looking for, what your session would look like, and whether we're the right fit. No commitment required — just a real conversation.

Book your free consultation

Every session at Speak Pixels is a custom experience. What you invest depends entirely on what you love — and you only purchase what moves you.

The conversation always starts free. Book your 30-minute Zoom consultation and we'll talk through exactly what your session would look like.

Let's talk

Sessions are limited — I keep my calendar intentionally small so every client gets the full experience. If you're ready, the best time to reach out is now.

Begin your experience

Most photographers hand you a gallery and leave you to figure out what to do with it. At Speak Pixels, every session is fully guided from the first email to the moment your images hang on your wall. I plan your wardrobe, build your mood board, direct every pose and expression, and walk you through your Reveal in person.

The result isn't just photos — it's an experience that ends with something real you can hold and display. And I approach every session with empathy because I know what it feels like to stand in front of a camera unsure of what you'll see. That changes everything about how I shoot.

✦ The Experience

Before your session: Zoom consultation, custom mood board, wardrobe planning. Zero surprises on the day.

Session day: I guide every pose, every angle, every expression in my private Rockwall studio. A custom playlist, a comfortable space, and full direction from start to finish. By the last frame, most clients have forgotten they were nervous.

Afterward: An Ordering Session where you see your best images for the first time and choose what you love — prints, wall art, albums, digital files, or a combination. You only purchase what moves you.

Your Ordering Session is where you see your best images for the first time — together with me, not alone at home staring at a screen. We look through everything, talk through what you love, and you choose what you want to walk away with. Prints, wall art, albums, digital files, or a combination.

You only purchase what moves you. Most clients say this is the moment they weren't prepared for — in the best way.

Camera-shy clients are exactly who I built this studio for. The people who walk in most convinced they don't photograph well are usually the ones who leave most surprised by what they see at their Reveal.

Being photogenic isn't a trait you're born with — it's what happens when you have expert direction, the right light, and someone who guides every moment so you never have to wonder what to do. That's the whole job.

Talk to Rachon first

No. The right time for your session is now — not after you hit a goal, not when you feel more ready, not someday. I work with real people in their real lives, and I know how to use light, posing, and direction to make you look and feel incredible exactly as you are.

No one has ever looked at a portrait they love and thought they should have waited.

Your Reveal Appointment is typically scheduled 1–2 weeks after your session. That's when you see your finished, fully edited images for the first time. Print products and wall art are then ordered and delivered within 2–4 weeks depending on the product.

✦ Wardrobe & Prep

We plan this together before your session so you never have to guess. The short version: solid colors, rich textures, and clothes that fit you perfectly right now. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, and anything that doesn't feel like you.

Bring at least two outfits — we'll edit down together on the day. I also keep a growing studio wardrobe you're welcome to pull from. The goal: you on your best day. Not a costume version of you.

I send a full preparation guide after your consultation is confirmed — everything from wardrobe to skincare to what to eat and drink the day before. You won't have to figure anything out on your own.

We build your mood board together, plan your outfits together, and by the time session day arrives you'll feel ready. Most clients say they were surprised by how calm they felt walking in.

✦ Session Types

Yes. Headshots and personal branding sessions are one of my specialties. Whether you need a single polished headshot or a full library of branded images for your website, social, and marketing materials, I build every session around how you want to show up for your business.

These sessions are guided, strategic, and designed to give you images you'll actually use — not a folder you forget about.

Book a branding session

Yes — and it's work I genuinely love. Musicians and creatives need images that work across press kits, booking inquiries, social, and album art. In one session we build two complete visual worlds: one cinematic and press-ready, one warm and accessible. The right image for every context.

Before anyone hears your music or sees your work, they see your image. It should be as intentional as everything else you create.

Book a musician or creative session

Absolutely. Some of the most powerful sessions I do are for people in the middle of a transition — a milestone birthday, a career change, a new chapter, a season of becoming. These sessions are about documenting who you are right now, in this moment, before it passes.

You deserve images that mark where you've been and where you're going.

✦ Products & Delivery

You get what serves you. For some clients that's wall art and an album. For others it includes digital files for business use. What you purchase is entirely up to what you love — and we figure that out together at your Ordering Session.

What I care about is that your images actually live somewhere — on your wall, in your hands, in your marketing. Not forgotten in a folder on your desktop.

Products include fine art wall prints, canvas, framed wall art, folio boxes, and albums — all produced by boutique labs. At your Ordering Session we look at your images together and talk through what would work best in your actual space. You choose only what you love.

✦ Studio & Location

My private boutique studio is in Rockwall, TX — by appointment only, serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Studio address and parking details are sent after your consultation is confirmed.

Consultations are on Zoom. I come to you virtually first, then you come to me for your session.

Yes — my Rockwall studio is easily accessible from Garland, Mesquite, Wylie, Rowlett, Forney, Heath, Fate, Royse City, Sachse, and surrounding East Dallas communities. I also serve clients from Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Frisco, and across DFW.

Consultations are always on Zoom first, so wherever you are in the metroplex, getting started is easy.

Yes. I can photograph you on location, at your office or home. There would be an additional on-location fee — we'll discuss that during your consultation.
