Keep reading to learn more about this women-centered experience and the exclusive offer for Hoboken Girl readers.
A Portrait Session to Celebrate Women
Local photographer + designer of the Hartshorn Portraiture team, Milena Lopez, heads up the sessions as a portrait photographer with a passion for beauty extending far beyond the lens. Milena connects with the women she photographs and captures their one-of-a-kind beauty. This portrait experience is different from a headshot or social media photoshoot as it produces personal images to be cherished for a lifetime, and beyond.
“The complete Beauty by Hartshorn experience is designed to take you away from your everyday life — where you’ll enjoy being pampered, sipping champagne, and relaxing,” Jennifer Hartshorn told Hoboken Girl. “Leave every detail to us so that for once, you don’t have to think about the details — you can simply enjoy and celebrate you.”
As working moms, both Milena and Jennifer have met countless women who consistently put the needs of others before their own. Beauty by Hartshorn was born from the need they saw to celebrate these women in a one-on-one session.
“Beauty by Hartshorn exists to put you first and to celebrate your true beauty in the most authentic way. Milena will take the time to get to know you, your story, passions, and personality — and will capture the essence of who you are in a true, bespoke work of art,” Jennifer shared with Hoboken Girl. “Milena has been with Hartshorn Portraiture for more than 10 years and her skill, attention to detail, and passion for what she does is top-notch. She makes every client feel relaxed, confident, and at home so they can enjoy every moment of their beauty session.”
The Beauty by Hartshorn Experience
Beauty by Hartshorn offers a luxurious, full-service experience from the first meeting to the moment the client unwraps their custom-designed pieces of art.
The process includes a consultation appointment done either in-person or on the phone prior to the session; a two-hour photography session with Milena including champagne; and a follow-up consultation at the Hoboken studio to reveal the artwork and guide the client through the ordering process, resulting in one 8×10 print from the session. The total fee for the package is $750. New customers can receive a $200 discount on the Signature Beauty Package when mentioning Hoboken Girl for a session booked before Saturday, April 30th.
Mac and Jennifer Hartshorn launched Hartshorn Portraiture in 2002 and are celebrating 20 years in business this summer. Beauty by Hartshorn is the newest addition to the business.
“The best part of running this business is seeing the joy in our clients eyes after spending time with Milena in the studio and then viewing the images at their presentation. She effortlessly captures the inner glow with each of her clients which is reflected in the images,” Jennifer said. “This is an opportunity to see oneself as others do. Women are often self-critical so it is wonderful to see the look of wonder and pleasure on their faces when they see their stunning images.”
Hartshorn Portraiture aims to artfully capture life’s most treasured moments with a focus on quality and design, these images are turned into heirloom art clients can cherish for a lifetime.
