Individual photography package
The Moment, The Story
or Legacy
Portrait. Áo dài. Muse. The same service framework — three levels of experience. This page helps you choose the right package for the story you're facing.
Quick answer
Gạo Nâu offers 3 individual photography packages — The Moment $149, The Story $188, Legacy $266 — applicable to portrait, áo dài, and muse. All three include 1 makeup layout, Gạo Nâu wardrobe, 10 carefully retouched photos, team posing support, and all raw photos delivered same day. The difference lies in makeup quality (Legacy uses PREMIUM makeup) and overall experience. The Story is chosen by about 60% of clients for its balance of price and quality.

5 familiar situations
When you've never shot in a studio
The Moment is enough for your first time — gentle process, the team guides each pose, no feeling of being pushed onto a strange stage.
Suggestion: The Moment
When you need a professional avatar
Update LinkedIn, press profile, CV photo — The Moment or The Story gives a natural portrait, not overly artificial.
Suggestion: The Moment / The Story
When you face a milestone age
Almost 30, 35, 40 — a milestone worth a worthy series. The Story balances price and quality. Legacy if you want wall prints.
Suggestion: The Story / Legacy
When you want to gift yourself
Just completed a long journey — after childbirth, divorce, graduation, major career change. The Story gives you space to shine your own way.
Suggestion: The Story
When you shoot áo dài for Tết
Áo dài is a once-a-year occasion — don't save too much. The Story or Legacy creates a series worthy of framing and gifting to parents.
