Lets Talk!

I know stepping in front of a camera doesn't always come naturally — and that's exactly why I build every session around ease, not performance. Before we shoot, I'll walk you through everything: outfit ideas, location suggestions, and what our time together will actually look like, so nothing feels like a surprise when we meet. During the session, there's no pressure to hold a perfect pose or fake a smile. We move at your pace, I'll maybe even tell some bad jokes to make you laugh!

Planning your session


Send me a message via my contact page so we confirm a date and time for your session, and discuss the details. From there, we’ll pick a location that works best and start preparing for the day of the photoshoot.

Session day


I recommend arriving 10 minutes early. We’ll spend some time chatting, and easing the nerves. It will be a fun, easy, and lovely day, I promise!

Editing and selection



One to Two weeks after the session you’ll receive an email from me with an invitation to view your photos in a private beautiful online gallery.

 

Preparing for your session


Here are a few tips to help things feel relaxed and stress-free.

 

  • What to wear: Stick to solid colors and soft textures over busy patterns or logos. For groups, aim to coordinate (not match) — complementary tones work best.
  • Timing: Sessions are scheduled around golden hour whenever possible — the light's better, and there's no harsh midday sun to squint into.
  • Arrive a few minutes early: A little buffer helps everyone settle in instead of starting rushed.
  • No posing experience needed: I'll guide you with simple prompts and movement, not stiff instructions. Just show up and be yourselves.
  • Questions beforehand? Outfit ideas, location questions, what to expect — reach out anytime before the session.
