MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi! I'm Zita Makkos and I am 44, which is truly a wonderful age and I stand proudly in my journey as a portrait photographer, business owner, wife, and mother.

With over 15 years of experience behind the lens, I have discovered that photography is so much more than just capturing images—it’s about connection, transformation, and empowerment. I want to share that joy with you.

I am driven to take your client experience to a whole new level, the one you will be talking about for many years and will highly recommend to your friends and family.

Boudoir, to me, is not about frills or simply baring skin.

It’s about a feeling which comes from within.

It's about celebrating the modern woman you are today, honoring your journey, your triumphs, and your milestones, big and small.

It’s about embracing your beauty at this very moment—because 10 years from now, you’ll want to remember exactly how incredible you looked and felt.

No matter your shape, size, age, or background—you are breathtaking, just as you are, you are a beautiful woman just the way God has created you perfectly. And I can capture that!

I can’t wait to show you the strong, confident, and radiant woman the world sees in you.

With love,

Your photographer,

Zita

Q&A

What if i don’t look like a model?

That’s exactly what I want you to not look like. An everyday woman who would just want to look and feel fabulous and sexy for a day and get a kickass confidence booster for the rest of her life…or well…we might need to do a second session at some point in the next few years just to keep the confidence at its highest..What ya say? I will direct you every step of the way, from helping you to prepare for your photo shoot with wardrobe tips, to posing every inch of you, to coaching your moves through the session. You just need to show up and give me all your TRUST!

What if I’m too old?

What if I say to you that every woman regardless of age, size, color or whatever it is deserves to look and feel beautiful and empowered? Documenting women throughout their lives on special occasions, milestones or simply just ‘because’ is what I loooove doing..All I need you is to trust me that with the right posing and lighting, I can capture the most beautiful images you have ever seen of yourself. It does not have to be ‘sexy’ , but it can look ‘sexy’ by being modest and artistic.

Can I just be my ‘raw’ self without the fuss?

Absolutely. However we apply very natural makeup to begin with and a little mascara can go a long way. You get to be photographed the way you want to. I love love love the raw form of a woman so if you feel that is how you want to be photographed, just let me know when you fill out the application form. The cost will still be the same.

Do I have to be ..you know..’nude’?

I absolutely don’t make anyone take off anything, it is totally up to you how dressed or undressed you want to be on your photos. You never know how much fun you are going to have though, and You might just want to sneak in a couple of ‘those’ shots. If you are more of a reserved type, then I would suggest you to start with a general portrait session to get the feel of the camera and see what transformation that brings to your life. You can always come back for the second round and be a bit more adventurous…It’s totally up to you…

How much editing involved and do you edit yourself?

I edit all your images myself, and their privacy is important to me. I like to keep my ‘Photoshop’ usage to its minimal, I can assure you that your skin would look at it’s best with my lighting and posing technique to minimize those ‘problematic’ areas. The minimal edit includes color correction, contrast, sharpening and any unwanted blemishes/ skin flaws, as well as under eye circles, highlighting the best features. But what about the stretch marks? Well ladies, most of us all have them! I make sure that with my editing technique most of your worries will not be seen. If your image requires outsourcing that I will require your permission to do so before I send it to a third party. I don’t liquify or alter any body shapes. If you have curves I will teach you how to pose to look at your best and want to prove it to you that you ARE DAMN BEAUTIFUL and you would be proudly reminded every time you take out your images from your box or album or just by staring at your amazing wall portrait.

What if I bring my friend?

Fantastic! We often feel that our bestie is the one which knows how to calm our nerves down. If you decide to come with your friend for the shoot and no photos for her, then I would ask that the friend not interfere with the photoshoot (with taking cell shots and asks you to look that way, or run in to do any touchup or direct you with posing etc. ) I will handle everything with my hair and makeup lady. I do not allow more than one friend with you though. I also cannot allow boyfriends/husbands/spouses in the studio while we are shooting unless he is in the photos with you.

What should I wear?

I don’t need you to go all out about shopping. Everything you could possible need is already in your wardrobe at home. You can feel ‘sexy’ in a bodysuit, in a huge sweater (maybe from hubby?) , a sweatshirt, robe, sleep shirt, I can make you look the hottest with a single white flat sheet. If you feel like doing a ‘nude’ set on your shoot, that is also absolutely possible. You don’t need to worry too much about wardrobe. I can make you look your hottest in the simplest minimal things. You can read more about this in my prep guide which I send out after your booking.

How should I prepare for my shoot?

After the booking has been made, I will email and give you information about preparation. This will cover exactly how you should prepare your face, body, and mind for your photo shoot, as well as beauty appointments and more extended wardrobe for your shoot.

FAQ image
How long does the shoot take and which days do you shoot?

It only takes around 3-4 hrs with hair and makeup.

Do I get the digital file?

Absolutely. The corresponding digital files are complimentary along with the print purchase and sizing varies of what product and print size you purchase. So if you want the 5x7’ matted prints, you will get the 5x7’ sized digital file. You do get printing rights along with the digital files as well. The digital files also come with the album’s selected images in a websize format. You also have the option to get the personalized mobile app.

If i want to gift these images, what products do you suggest?

I love the FOLIO BOXES I offer to my portrait clients, but ALBUMS and WALL ARTS are a good fit for this genre. Albums are the best way to display a good amount of images on your coffee table (if you are adventurous), or bedside table (or hide them in the drawer..), I do highly recommend a big piece of wall art in your bedroom, or living room (again, if you are adventurous) , master bathroom, or in your walk in closet as a daily reminder how BADASS you look. All of these are great gift ideas.

FAQ image
What if I want my hubby/boyfriend/ spouse/ bridesmaids/ friends/ family etc. to gift the session to me?

Perfect idea! You can absolutely let them know that I sell gift cards as well from as low as $100 and as high as they want it to be. It is a great wedding present if you are thinking of surprising your future soulmate with an album or even just some prints. (Planning ahead is essential in this case due to the availability of these sessions. However if in really of a need, please contact me at [email protected] and we can work out different timing of your shoot.)

How can I be sure that my images will never see the light of their lives?

Although I do appreciate if I can share some of your modest images on my social media I can TOTALLY understand if you don't want your images shared with the public!  I 100% assure you that your images will NEVER be shared without your permission. I retouch your images myself, I don’t outsource the editing of your images to an editing company, risking that they can get stolen. You will see them on the day in person when you come back for your photo viewing session. If you are not available (coming from out of town) to come back and see your images in person, I will arrange viewing over Zoom, that is still completely safe. If you are super cool and awesome and you permit me to use your images on my social media, your real name will NEVER be used and you won’t ever be tagged on Facebook/Instagram.

What are your packages and how much should I be thinking of spending?

My albums start from $1690 with websize digitals. The spending is up to you, but the average spending is around $2500. If you pay in full on the day of your viewing and ordering, you get $100 off of the total. BUT there is more!!!! I HAVE AN AMAZING REFERRAL program, which can totally get you credit towards any album or product. PLEASE ASK how it works.

Do I have option to do payment plan?

I totally get that my pricing is higher in the area than normal. I understand that it is not for everyone…BUT yes, I do offer interest free payment plans and I do require 50% downpayment on the day of your ordering/viewing session. If you choose to go this route then absolutely NO product until everything is paid in full. There are also several financing options available, such as After Pay, which guarantees product delivery right after order.

What is your turnaround time?

It depends on your order but average 3-4 weeks. if it’s going to be a gift, make sure that you book your session min. 2 months ahead of time. If you have any other questions I might have forgotten to mention, please email me with any of your concerns and I will get back to you ASAP.

CLIENT LOVE

"We shared so many laughs"

"My recent boudoir shoot with Zita was everything I could have hoped for and more. I was so nervous and had no idea what to do. Zita made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and in front of the camera right from the start. We shared so many laughs and she was really amazing at showing me with her own body what she was asking me to do rather than just telling me.... which really helped me as I was very unsure on how to stand, hold my hands etc. I highly recommend doing a boudoir shoot with Zita.....you will be so happy you did.”

- Jamie

"...really boosted my confidence"

"I had an amazing time working with Zita. I was so nervous going into the shoot but by the end of the day the camera sort of becomes your best friend. Zita was able to visually show me how to pose which was a huge help since I had no idea what I was doing. After viewing the photos you realize the small adjustments that you make with your body make a world of difference in the photos. The whole experience really boosted my confidence and my feminine side. I would love to work with Zita again in the future. "

- Brooke

"..helped me love myself and embrace who I am"

“I never thought I could love pictures of me or my body so much. The whole experience helped me love myself and embrace who I am. I would definitely book again.”

- Emily

"I felt hungry for something different"

“I made the decision to book spontaneously because I was going through a separation, about to be 30 and I felt hungry for something different. Doing this for only me, I did not expect that this would be the most intimate experience I've ever had in my life. As a mom, there are so many things I didn't get around to doing for myself because it felt selfish. There are a lot of years where the only person missing in the photo is me, because I'm always behind the camera. This was life changing for me and I hope that I see more women do this because we deserve to feel like the center of attention too. I've never had anyone do my hair and makeup besides myself. These ladies made me feel like a real princess, and I was able to be vulnerable without fear and judgment. Don't wait for someone to give you permission, go for it!”

- Courtny

"...always hated the way I look in pictures"

“I am a 34-year old woman living in the age of visual media and selfies, and yet have always hated the way I look in pictures. Zita made me feel so comfortable, from the preparation guide she sends beforehand to the ambience at the actual location, and then her on-site guidance and encouragement throughout the shoot. I'm so thrilled to finally have pictures where I'm feeling myself and my body. She listened to my needs while adding her professional design take where I lacked "vision". Would highly recommend her for professional or personal photos!”

- Heather

"..this was more than a session.."

“Having admired Zita's work for several months, I couldn't imagine being beautiful enough or confident enough to be worthy of her high-end professional, stunning work. As I entered a phase of my life that I innately know is a brief period of time, I made the leap to book the appointment. I entered with a feeling of fear and worry, but very soon that changed. Zita and her beautiful make-up artist/assistant Harmony met me where I was at, embraced me, nurtured me, and supported me. Very soon, I had a persona that took over. The confident, wise, sexy woman I wanted to be, wanted to be captured on film forever was given a safe place to be present. This was more than a 'session'. It, in some ways, was an awakening. Throwing all insecurities aside to fully enjoy this experience, accomplished through Zita's kind loving, and supportive nature made this experience exactly what I hoped it would be, but wasn't sure I could be...pure magic.
