📷 What to Expect During Your Photography Session

🎉 The Vibe: Relaxed, Fun, and Purposeful

On shoot day, my biggest goal is to make you feel completely at ease. Whether we’re working with high energy kiddos, a quiet couple, or a brand session — I’m there to guide you every step of the way.

Expect gentle direction, encouragement, and plenty of freedom to be yourself. I don’t expect you to show up as a model — just as you.

🧭 Timeline & Flow

We’ll start by reviewing any last-minute questions or details, then walk through the session location together if needed.

Sessions typically follow a natural rhythm:

• A few warm-up shots to get you comfortable

• Guided poses that feel natural and flattering

• Candid moments in between — sometimes those are the gold!

  
  

I’ll check in throughout to make sure we’re capturing what matters most to you.

💡 Flexibility & Real-Time Adjustments

Sometimes light changes, weather surprises us, or a toddler needs a snack break. I’ve got you covered. I plan with flexibility in mind, and I’m not afraid to pivot if needed. Real life is beautiful — we embrace it.

Need to pause and regroup? Want to try a pose again? Just say so. This is your session, and my job is to make you feel good in front of the camera.

🎯 We Wrap When the Story is Told

Once we’ve captured the essence of your story, we’ll wrap up. I’ll let you know when I feel confident we have “the shot” — and then some. You’ll head out feeling confident, excited, and ready to see the magic we created together.

Up next: what happens after your session.
