So, you’ve booked a photoshoot, or maybe you’re still hovering over the "contact" button, unsure of what to expect. Will it be like those awkward school photos from childhood? (Don’t worry, it won’t.) Or maybe you’re imagining endless hours of posing like a mannequin. Nope, not that either. Let's dive into what you can really expect from a professional photoshoot with me—and I promise, it’ll be fun!
1. First Things First: The Planning
Before the shoot, we’ll chat about your goals, vibe, and how you want to use your photos. Are you looking for a bold portrait? Lifestyle shots that capture your essence? Or maybe a vibrant event photoshoot to show off your party? We’ll get on the same page, whether you're planning to hang the photos on your wall, update your LinkedIn, or grace Instagram with your fabulousness. I’ll guide you through it all, so you're not left wondering, “What do I do with my hands?” "Can everyone tell that I already had 3 glasses Champagne at the Christmas Party photos?".
2. Location, Location, Location
Now, where do we shoot? Good news—I’m flexible! Here’s how it breaks down:
Studio Session: A professional studio is like a blank canvas. I control the lighting and create magic that brings out your personality, whether you’re going for chic and polished or relaxed and natural. Studio shoots are great for portraits or when you want a clean, professional vibe.
Daylight Outdoors: If you’re more of a nature person or just love the charm of daylight, outdoor shoots are for you. Imagine natural light glowing on your skin, cityscapes as your backdrop, or serene parks. I know all the best spots in town, so you’ll feel like we’re on a mini adventure, not just posing for photos. Daylight also means this - so does not have to be all nature.
Your Desired Location: Got a special spot in mind? Your favorite coffee shop, your office, or even your birthday party venue—let’s go there! Whether it's an office shoot where we’ll capture you in your element or a party where you’re surrounded by loved ones, I’m there to make sure every moment shines.
3. The Shoot Itself: Relax, I’ve Got You
If you’re imagining stiff, awkward poses, forget that! I’ll guide you through the entire process, making sure you’re comfortable and feeling your best. You don’t need to be a professional model to look like one. Whether we’re indoors or outside, I’ll give you just the right amount of direction—no need to memorize poses. And yes, we’ll laugh! The best photos come when you’re relaxed and having fun.
Expect a mix of natural moments, candid laughter, and just a sprinkle of artistic direction. My goal? To make sure you look at your photos and think, “Wow, I didn’t know I could look this good!”
4. What About the Kids, Pets, or Colleagues?
Got kids who can’t sit still for two minutes? Pets that love to photobomb? Or maybe a group of colleagues who need corporate headshots? No worries, I’m equipped to handle all of it. We’ll make the shoot fun for everyone, and yes, even your dog will be a star.
5. After the Shoot: The Magic Begins
After our session, I’ll carefully curate and edit your photos. Think of this as where the real magic happens. I don’t believe in over-editing (no one wants to look like a wax statue), but I will enhance your natural beauty, highlight the best moments, and make sure the lighting and colors are on point. You’ll receive a polished, professional gallery of images that will have you wondering, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
6. Why Book Me?
Alright, time for the not-so-subtle part. Why should you book me? Well, apart from my awesome photography skills (obviously), I bring a mix of creativity, professionalism, and good vibes to every shoot. Whether it’s a studio session, a day out in the sun, or an event at your chosen location, my job is to capture the best version of you—and make the experience fun, memorable, and completely stress-free.
But don’t take my word for it—book a shoot and find out for yourself. Let’s create something amazing together!
