Know your Colours
We suggest looking over a ‘Colour Analysis’ and start thinking of the colours that match YOU the best!
If you love wearing black, choose ONE black outfit then try to choose colours for the rest.
Accessorize
Complete a look with necklaces, earrings, rings etc. Bring a variety and we can choose together. If accessories is not your thing, don’t worry about it!
Please note that we don’t take a lot of photos with shoes but if you would like to bring some, we can use them!

Shot-List Guide
Portraits
We’ll create a variety of beautiful portraits. To have variety, we’ll do it with different outfits, backgrounds and poses: standing, sitting, on the bed etc. Based on our initial call, I’ve put together some images that I’ve previously taken.
Intimate close ups
Photography tells a story. During the session, I love capturing moments of intimacy when you’re in-tune with yourself. These are the small moments of connection that happen when no one usually is looking.
candids
In-between the posing and direction, we capture genuine expression! After all, this type of photoshoot is to capture tour essence in all expressions.
