This year I had a model call for outdoor intimate portrait sessions, and Vanessa jumped to have her dream session. I took us to a local park that allowed us to have privacy AND a spot to let Vanessa get into the water. Since it was an outdoor session, Kirsty our HMUA was on top of sending Vanessa along with extra products to keep her makeup as fresh as possible.

Vanessa’s passion is flowers, so we knew we had to integrate that into the photos.

We kept the session going until the sun was fully set behind the trees and it felt so right on-time. Outdoor intimate portraits have always been my favorite, especially after this dream session. If you are open and interested in a session like this, please inquire here to see if we would be a good fit to work together!

Read about Vanessa’s experience here:

What were you the most nervous about coming into your session?

I was most nervous about being naked in public. It isn’t the most normal thing to be naked while others are fully clothed but ultimately it was super chill!

How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?

Amazing and I LOVE my pictures

What was your favorite part of the session?

I really enjoyed being in nature. It was super relaxing and comforting. Also being in the water was so nice. It isn’t very often that I get into the river with a dress on and it was freeing to say the least!

What, if anything, could have been improved about your session?

I’m not sure it could’ve been improved! It was so nice and exactly what Hannah and I had in mind. It was great that we were on the same page during the whole planning process. We even had a little Pinterest board together to make sure we had the same thoughts.

Do you have any advice for people looking to book their own session?

Do it! It is so worth it and you will love the outcome! If you are worried about it being awkward, it isn’t at all like that. Hannah is super chill and makes you feel comfortable in your own skin.
