Your peace of mind is my priority, and I've streamlined your preparation process. I’ll guide you through the entire experience, starting with a planning meeting to discuss your vision. You’ll receive styling assistance, a detailed prep guide, and a packing list to ensure you feel fully prepared.
With our minimalistic approach, there's no need to stress too much about your wardrobe—focus on what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful.
Embracing a timeless and effortless style, you likely already own the perfect pieces in your closet. Consider lingerie, bodysuits, oversized sweaters, blazers, crop tops, classic white button-down shirts, jeans, a little black dress, flowy skirts, fabric draping. For artistic nude images, less is often more.
And if you’re unsure about your wardrobe, don’t stress — I have a studio collection of versatile pieces we can incorporate into your session. Together, we’ll make sure everything is perfect!
Don’t worry—I ’ve got you covered! The women I photograph are everyday women, just like you and me. It’s my job to make you look and feel your absolute best. I understand how easy it is to focus on little things you might see in the mirror—I’ve been there, too.
I believe there’s no such thing as an ordinary woman. Each of us carries stories of resilience, love, and strength—qualities that make us extraordinary.
