WHAT TO EXPECT
When you arrive
When you come to the studio for your photo session, you can expect a welcoming and comfortable experience. You'll have a chance to relax in the makeup chair while getting styled in a way that reflects your personality and comfort level. Depending on the day of the week you booked a your session, I or my colleague Michelle will take care of styling you. On weekends, I'll personally handle the styling. Whether you prefer a natural or glamorous look, we'll make sure you feel like the best version of yourself. Come wearing loose and comfortable clothing - loose the bra! This will prevent any clothing lines from showing on your skin and will keep you comfy during your styling appointment.
In addition to makeup, my full collections include empowerment coaching with Shelby. She will meet with you privately to discuss practical strategies for incorporating self-care and empowerment into your daily routine. Shelby's guidance will not only help you on the day of your session but will also empower you to continue living confidently and authentically. My goal is to empower you to embrace your self-worth and live your best life.
As we begin our session, I will guide you through poses that showcase the best of who you are - your confidence, your grace, your unique personality shining through. It's like a dance between us, a harmonious symphony of movement and stillness, of laughter and contemplation. I want you to feel empowered, to see yourself through my lens as the powerful, beautiful being that you are. This is not just about taking pictures it's about embracing your worth, honoring your individuality, and realizing the strength that lies within you.
What to wear
When planning for your photoshoot, you have the option to wear clothing from my client closet ( xs - 5xl ) or bring your own outfit. The client closet offers a variety of elegant pieces like feather robes, antique lingerie, and you can even add on full body wings. The day of your session I will have outfits laid out in your size that you will get to try on and pick from before we start shooting, keep in mind if you go this route you will need to wear your own underwear for hygiene purposes. I recommend bringing two g-string thongs, one in black, and one skin colored so they do not show during your session.
You can of course also bring your own outfits to your session. Bringing your own outfit allows you to showcase your personal style, empowering you to feel confident and comfortable during the shoot. It's important to choose an outfit that reflects your personal style and interests. Avoid trendy clothing and instead opt for something that truly speaks to who you are. Remember, your outfit doesn't have to be lingerie - a t-shirt or bodysuit can all look great in a photo shoot. If this is your first session and your nervous about wearing lingerie you can literally wear whatever your heart desires. The key is to wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Ultimately, the photos are about capturing your unique self and celebrating your individuality. Embrace your self-worth and empower yourself through the photography experience. It's about feeling good about yourself and expressing who you are.
I absolutely love capturing the beauty and confidence in all body types through my photography. If lingerie is your thing, some of my client’s most picked outfits of choice are bodysuits and high-waisted sets - they not only look stunning on all body types but they also exude a sense of empowerment and they do an amazing job showcasing your curves and unique features.

After your session
After we have worked together to capture your session and I’ve edited your photos, we will schedule an in-person reveal session. During this reveal, you will come back to the studio and we will review your images on a large screen. The in-person reveal is a relaxing way to select your favorite images, as you just need to tell me which ones you love and I will take care of the rest. We can also look at different album swatches and materials, allowing you to touch and feel the options before making your final decisions. This hands-on approach ensures that you know exactly what you will be receiving and gives you a sense of fulfillment in creating your final products.
If you're unable to make it to the in-person reveal of your photos, we can still make the process smooth and effortless for you. With an online reveal, you can view and select your photos from the comfort of your own home. I'll be there to guide you through the process every step of the way.
I can't wait to work with you and help you see yourself in a different light.
