Ever wondered what actually happens before, during, and after a photoshoot? There’s a natural flow to how I work—and it’s all centered around you feeling comfortable, informed, and excited about the results.
Communication is key, and that’s where everything begins. We can connect however works best for you—whether it’s a face-to-face meeting, video call, phone chat, Instagram, WhatsApp, or email. No matter the format, some core steps apply to every shoot. Let me walk you through the process:
Step 1: Let's Talk
It usually starts with a message from someone looking to capture their essence—whether it's for portraits, personal branding, or a cozy couple’s session.
We’ll chat through all the essentials:
- How many photos you'll receive
- Preferred location
- Outfit ideas
- Date and time
- Preferred location
- Outfit ideas
- Date and time
Some clients already have a vision and just need me and my camera. Others only know they want beautiful photos and are free on a certain day—that’s where I come in. I love helping with everything from styling tips to location scouting and creating the right vibe for your session.
Step 2: Building the Vision
To make sure we’re aligned creatively, I often put together a Pinterest mood board with ideas based on your expectations. Or, if you’ve already got reference photos you love, feel free to send them my way!
Once we’ve agreed on the details, I send an digital version of agreement to read and ask for a 15% deposit to lock in your date.
Step 3: Prepping for the Shoot
The day before the shoot, I usually scout the location to find the best lighting and most photogenic spots. That way, we can make the most of our time together.
On the day of the session, we meet at the location. Before we start shooting, I’ll send a request for the remaining payment and ask you to sign a model release form (just a standard, simple form).
Step 4: Shooting Time!
When we meet, I bring a printed version of the agreement for both of us to sign, and I’ll also send a request for the remaining payment.
Now the fun part begins!
We’ll shoot for around 30–45 minutes, moving through different spots for variety. I’ll guide you through everything—we’ll chat, laugh, and keep things light, because when you're relaxed, the camera loves it.
Step 5: Post-Production Magic
After the session, the behind-the-scenes work begins for me. I spend several hours selecting and editing the best images—the ones that truly capture you.
Once that’s done, I upload your photos to a private online gallery where you can select your favorites based on your chosen package. Then I’ll send you the final, edited versions via WeTransfer—ready to download, share, and enjoy.
And That’s a Wrap!
Every shoot is a collaboration, and my goal is always the same: to make you feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable from start to finish. Whether it’s your first time in front of the camera or your tenth, I’ve got you.
