Whether you're celebrating a milestone, creating a gift for someone special or simply reminding yourself how beautiful you are, I'm honoured you've chosen me to capture it.

Please take a few minutes to read through this guide before your session.

What To Wear When You Arrive

Preparing Your Skin

A few days before your session:

✔ Moisturise daily.

✔ Drink plenty of water.

✔ Avoid severe sunburn or peeling skin.

✔ Wax or shave 24–48 hours beforehand if desired.

✔ Remove fake tan several days beforehand if it has become patchy.

Fresh, even skin photographs beautifully.

Nails

Your hands will appear in many photographs.

Neutral colours usually photograph best, but if you love bold nails, wear what makes you feel confident.

Please ensure nails are neat and tidy.

Don't Worry About...

Almost every client tells me they wish they had:

• Lost more weight.

• Toned up first.

• Waited until they felt more confident.

Please don't.

You are worthy of beautiful photographs exactly as you are today.

Posing, lighting, wardrobe and professional editing all work together to flatter every body shape.

During Your Session

Relax...

You do not need to know how to pose.

I'll guide you through absolutely everything including:

• How to stand

• Hand placement

• Facial expressions

• Where to look

• How to breathe

• How to move

I'll demonstrate every pose first.

Most clients spend the first ten minutes saying:

"I have no idea what I'm doing!"

Then leave saying:

"That was so much fun!"

Privacy

Your privacy is incredibly important.

No images are ever shared without your written permission.

Your photographs remain completely confidential.

If you choose to allow images to be shared, you'll be asked separately after viewing your gallery.

There is absolutely no pressure.

2 hours

This includes:

• Hair & makeup (if included)
