This isn’t just a photo shoot—and it’s not really about the pictures, either. It’s about you. Don’t worry about posing or feeling awkward in front of the camera. Think of it like taking a walk with a friend who happens to have a camera in hand. My approach is easygoing and natural, focused entirely on capturing the real, authentic you.
Show up as yourself—it's your best look.
My approach
01.
Fill out the form
Once you’ve made up your mind, complete the form, and I will be getting back to you as soon as possible.
02.
Meet up
So everyone feels comfortable and accustomed to each other, we will need a quick call or text to discuss things and plan everything out.
03.
Picture time
The big day! We’ll meet, talk, connect, and get to know each other. In the meantime, I will be preparing the equipment so we can jump right into it.
04.
Delivering photos
In one or two weeks, you will receive your edited pictures, to see yourself in all your natural glory.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
1. It’s Totally Normal to Feel Nervous
Most people aren’t used to being in front of a camera—that’s okay! A good photographer will help guide you, make you feel comfortable, and keep things fun and relaxed.
2. You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose
You won’t be expected to strike model-worthy poses. The goal is to capture natural, candid moments. Just be yourself—we’ll take care of the rest.
3. Clothing Matters (But It Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated)
Wear something you feel confident and comfortable in. Stick to colors and styles that reflect your personality, and avoid busy patterns or big logos. Feel free to bring a few outfit options if you're unsure!
4. Trust the Process
Sometimes the best shots happen between the planned ones. Go with the flow, laugh a little, and let moments unfold naturally.
5. It's More About You Than the Camera
The camera is just a tool—we’re here to capture you. Whether it’s your energy, your story, or your connection with someone else, that's what will shine through in the photos.
6. Communication is Key
Have a vision or idea in mind? Tell your photographer! Whether it's a specific vibe, location, or feel, the more they know, the better they can tailor the experience to you.
7. Show Up as You
You don’t need to transform into someone else for the camera. Come as you are—that’s where the magic happens.
What should I wear?
(And How to Feel Great in Every Frame)
1. Be Comfortable (But Polished)
Choose clothes that you feel good in. If you're tugging, adjusting, or stiff in your outfit, it’ll show in the photos. Go for something that feels like you, but a little elevated.
2. Stick to Neutral or Earthy Tones
Soft, muted colors (like beige, olive, cream, rust, navy) photograph beautifully and don’t distract from your face or the emotion of the image. Avoid neon or super bright shades unless it’s part of your brand or vision.
3. Avoid Distracting Patterns & Logos
Busy prints or large logos pull attention away from you. Solid colors or subtle textures are best. If you do wear patterns, keep them simple and balanced with solids.
4. Consider the Location & Season
Outfits should fit the setting. Flowy dresses work well in nature, urban shoots might call for something edgier. Think layers in fall/winter and light fabrics in spring/summer.
5. Coordinate, Don’t Match (For Groups or Couples)
Instead of everyone wearing the same color, pick a color palette and let everyone choose outfits that fit within it. It keeps the look cohesive but still natural.
6. Bring Options
If you're unsure, bring 1–2 backup outfits. This gives your photographer flexibility to match the outfit to the lighting or mood of the location.
7. Don’t Forget the Details
Shoes, accessories, jewelry—they all matter. Keep them simple but intentional. And if you're planning close-ups, neat nails and minimal distractions help.
Bonus Tips:
Try it on ahead of time. Make sure everything fits, feels right, and looks how you want it to in natural light.
Avoid wrinkly fabrics. They can be distracting and hard to edit out later.
