The individual experience
One session, built entirely around you.
Not a rushed stop on a group picture day. Your session, your setting, and enough time to get photos that actually look like you. Show up as you, and leave with images you're proud of.

Two ways to do this.
Built around the person, not the pose.


A 25% retainer holds your date for two weeks. Balance on shoot day.
One real session
How it went for Mackenzie.

Mackenzie's booking
The shoot starts before shoot day.
The prep lives in a link you open on your phone. By the time we meet, the decisions are already made.
- You walk in ready. No guessing what to wear or bring.
- You chose your shots. Camera minutes go to shooting, not deciding.
- Parents chase nothing. The release and the retainer live in the link.
In their words
The reaction is the product.

“I kept saying omg that's my favorite but then the photos just kept getting better and better and they were all my favorites, we were amazed.”

“I was blown away when I saw my photos. You can clearly see AC took his time on every photo and took pride into every aspect of editing.”

“I thought the best part of me was brought out in every picture.”

“A.C Media is one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. He takes time to make sure everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, as well as gives pose suggestions. It is clear he does his research before his sessions. Hands down some of the best media day pics I have seen.”

“I felt comfortable and confident that the shoot was going to turn out great. He puts in quality work and effort and will deliver the best quality he possibly can.”

“It was so laid back and so different from any dance shoot I have ever done.”

“Great results. Great process. Great experience.”

“The pics were soooo sick and unlike any dance pics I've gotten done before.”
