What It’s Like To Work With Me

What to Expect at Your Photo Session

One of the most common things people say before booking a session is:

“I’ve never done this before and I’m so nervous.”

“I’m awkward in photos.”

“I have no idea what to expect.”

“I’m not photogenic.”

You’re not alone if you’ve ever felt this.

I’m not kidding when I say most of the people who step into my studio say the exact same thing.

That’s why my number one goal as a photographer is creating a space where you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.

This is a no-judgment zone.

When you walk into my studio, I want you to feel welcome and free to be yourself.

You don’t have to worry about being “photogenic.”

There is no standard of beauty. You are your own standard of beauty. That’s the motto here!

This is a place where you can breathe a little.

Where you can relax without worrying about how you’ll be received.

If you’re nervous, that is ok. Just about everyone is beforehand.

Once you’re here it’s all taken care of, you just have to show up!

You Don’t Have to Know How to Pose

You don’t have to know what you’re doing.

And you don’t need to show up perfectly confident.

You just have to show up as you are and I’ll take care of the rest.

I’m guiding you and directing you through posing and expression the entire time of your session.

That way you’re never left wondering what to do with your hands or how you should stand, and your brain can relax.

I’m here to take care of all the details and help you feel at ease.

When feeling like you have to perform is off the table, you can relax.

And that’s what comes across as natural and confident.

The Secret to Beautiful Portraits

The absolute truth is that the best portraits come from feeling comfortable and at ease.

That happens when you stop overthinking and start settling into yourself.

I’ve been doing this for a long time and I’ve got you! It’s my job to make it easy for you.

What comes across as natural and confident is really just feeling at ease.

Having portraits done is about so much more than just the images you end up with.

It’s about the experience of being seen.

Of taking a moment to acknowledge yourself exactly as you are right now in this season of life.

And that, my friend, is both beautiful and powerful.

My Invitation to You

If you’ve never been professionally photographed before, I’d love to invite you to experience it for yourself.

You might be surprised by how good it can feel.
