Choosing the Perfect Outfits
Bring 3-4 Options: Pick 3-4 outfits that truly reflect your personality and keep you feeling comfortable.
Mix It Up: Include a casual look, a dressy vibe, and something in-between for a versatile range of shots.
Effortless Selection: I’ll guide you on which outfits work best for our chosen locations.
Style Chat: During our consultation call, we’ll discuss your style and narrow down the options together.

Hair & Makeup: Leave It to the Pros
Feel Flawless: Professional hair and makeup are available as add-ons with each collection to ensure you look your absolute best on shoot day.
Natural & Feature-Enhancing: Our hair and makeup besties specialize in enhancing your natural beauty—no heavy, overdone looks here. I’ll connect you with only the very best.
Effortless Beauty: Enhance your natural features without overpowering your true self.
For the Guys: If you don’t rock a full beard or mustache, it’s best to shave the morning of your session. The light can catch stray hairs you might not notice in the mirror.
Pro Tip: Get a facial about a week before your shoot for glowing skin.
