Okay, so, you’ve booked your intimate portrait experience…now what?!

If you’re like me, you wanna know what the process is gonna be like! Every portrait photographer is different, and I want to walk you through the experience step by step so you feel prepared & ready to go.

Step 1: Your Guides!

Like, the PDFs. Not the spiritual kind, LOL. The first thing you’ll receive in your inbox after booking your session is a Mindset & Style guide! These are so important because they give you practical advice like: get your nails done AND helps you with your mindset regarding body image. Implementing the Mindset Guide is the best way to get the most out of this experience.

Step 2: Ethical Styling Guide

Okay, I know. We have a shit ton of guides. We want to make sure you are as prepared as possible! While I do provide an extensive client closet for you to use (sizes from XS-5X), I know that sometimes you wanna treat yourself to a new piece(s) before your shoot. I include a clothing guide that features ethical & sustainable companies. Those values are super important to me, and I update it seasonally for all of my clients & everyone on my email list! Please don’t feel obligated to wear lingerie. I want you to feel like YOU.

Step 4: Connection Calls

I want to see your face! And hear your voice! Connecting via calls prior to your session is important for both of us. We will get to know each other, talk & laugh out the nerves, and ultimately further customize this experience. No two sessions are alike, so by connecting over the phone we can make this best it can be. We will spend time talking about your journey, and talking vibes and outfits! Also, you’ll get a complimentary consult with our wonderful makeup artist, Kirsty.

Step 5: Your Shoot Day!!!

It’s the day you’ve been waiting for!!! You’ll wake up excited and head over to Kirsty’s studio for hair and makeup. After you’re all glammed up and feeling FINNNEEE, you’ll head over to my studio or to our chosen location if you’ve booked a nature session. We will chat, write down intentions, talk through affirmations, and I will guide you through a body scan meditation. Then, we will choose final outfits, talk about posing (hint hint, it’s comfy AF! No weird contorting here!), turn on your fave music and let LOOSE. Also, I will hype you up during the entire shoot because I literally can’t help it!! I love watching ya’ll take time for yourself and ACTION towards self-love!

Step 6: Reveal Day

It’s now been a week or two since your session, and now it’s time for your reveal day! You’ll come back to the studio (or we can meet virtually!) and you’ll get to see your magical self!! This is one of my FAV moments of the whole portrait experience. Since you’re already set up on a payment plan for your products, this time will be spent admiring your fave photos and picking the ones for your prints or albums.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Images Forever <3

Between your Polaroids, affirmations, power thought card, your physical products and digitals, you’ll have ample reminders of this experience and what it mean to you. There will be bad days (this journey is not linear!), and you’ll be able to open your album or leather envelope and be reminded of how worthy you are of self-love.
