IT'S NEARLY TIME FOR YOUR SESSION! * IT'S NEARLY TIME FOR YOUR SESSION! *
I’ve put together this little guide to walk you through what to expect so you can turn up on the day relaxed and know you’re in safe hands.
I’ll keep your beautiful story and your intention for your session at the forefront of my mind throughout our time together to ensure we capture those wonderful meaningful moments.
I’ll arrive early and meet you at our pre-arranged meeting place ready for your session.
It’s perfectly normal to feel a little nervous. I’m a gentle presence and will bring a soothing, warm energy to put you at ease.
My photography is all about you and your true emotion and connection to yourself. You’re safe to be you with me and there’s no pressure for perfection or performance, I love to photograph you exactly as you are.
Whether you’re camera shy or camera ready, your authentic self will shine through when you delight in this chapter of your beautiful story. My photography isn’t about perfect poses, it’s about real emotions, real laughter, and real self-connection.
There is beauty in both stillness and movement.
Whether you’re bursting with energy or taking a slow moment, every state is welcome and beautiful.
Stillness invites inner connection, whereas movement brings vitality and freedom.
Feel free to pause, breathe, dance and spin. Be wild and be true. Most importantly, be you. I’ll photograph it all.
I’ll only guide you as and when needed because the real moments happen in the in-betweens. You’ll find me at a distance, letting your movement naturally unfold, and coming in close for quiet and tender details too.
I’ll follow your lead throughout. If you need time to warm up or want to take a break, just let me know and I’ll give you the space.
I’ll always respect your boundaries and your comfort. I’ll only be hands-on when needed, and I’ll always ask first. This might include adjusting stray hairs or offering to help with positioning but only if this feels right for you.
Please don’t worry about smiling into the camera, I love to photograph your natural expressions, interactions, movement, and laughter. With less focus on the camera, your moments happen naturally.
I’m here to celebrate your moments with you as you tell your story, to document the wonderful this meaningful chapter that you’ll look back on with love and nostalgia.
I'll be me and you'll be you, and together we'll create something beautiful.
Sometimes plans need to change, I completely understand. If this happens, please get in touch as soon as you’re able to. With enough notice we can change locations, tweak our timings, or reschedule if necessary.
Our sessions aren’t rushed, we’ll take our time. If you need a little longer to feel comfortable with me and my camera, please let me know. I’m more than happy to adjust the pace or length of your session to ensure you feel relaxed and safe in my presence.
Firstly, please wear what you want to wear, what makes you feel like you, what suits your story and your session location.
Comfort and confidence is key, so if you’re in a glitzy dress or slouchy joggers and that’s part of your story, we’ll celebrate it!
That being said, some clients request a wardrobe input, and if that’s you then keep reading…
Matching the vibe of your story helps your images feel cohesive and gorgeous. For example, if you’re wanting to capture movement, softness or the feeling of freedom I’d recommend wearing loose, textured or flowing clothing, and layering too. If you’re in a grassy area I’d recommend not wearing green, so that there’s a contrast between yourself and the background. My faves are denim with a light neutral, especially for beach sessions, and soft colours.
Please avoid big logos or neon colours as they tend to be a distraction, and if you want timeless images I’d recommend staying clear of fleeting trends too.
After your session, I’ll get editing and send over the final images within 3 months of your session date (it’s usually sooner, but life can get busy!).
Printing options are available separately for beautiful Storybooks and prints of your wonderful moments, and you can choose these through your gallery.
Later, I’ll send you an invitation to share your feedback or testimonial. I’d be incredibly grateful if you could spare a few moments to reflect on your experience. A few sentences would be truly appreciated as your thoughts help me to shape and improve future sessions.
Thank you so much for trusting me with your beautiful story, I can’t wait to make your moments eternal. I’m so excited for you to cherish the images for decades to come, and I’d be honoured to photograph any future chapters in your life.
See you soooooon!
Love,
