Birthday Session PrepARATION Guide
This preparation guide will help your session go more smoothly. Don’t worry if you have no modeling experience, that is what I am here for! I will guide you through the whole session and pose you in the most flattering ways. You will see, we will create the most stunning images and capture your beautiful glow!
Things to Think About Before Your Session
Strongly consider having your hair and makeup done professionally. If you do your own makeup, please make sure that it matches your natural skin tone and keep it neutral with a touch of glamour. Stretchmarks and scars can be easily removed post production so please, don't worry about that.
Pay close attention to your nails. Many of the photographs will focus on your hands. Consider treating yourself to a manicure and pedicure so that they look picture perfect!
Things to Bring to Your Session:
Please note that it is not compulsory but necessary that you bring all, these are listed to give idea of things you can bring to add more varieties to the session and also have it more tailored down to your style. However, it is compulsory that you bring your underwear (a wired cup nude strapless bra and panties) if you are planning to use my fabrics or dresses.
- panties - black and/or nude (nude is preferred, both is great). This link might help

During the session
I have two posing tips that will change the outcome of your photos. The first one, communicate, if you have something you are self conscious about, let me know. I want you to look at these photos and love them! It’s ok to be a little insecure about your body, it’s normal, don’t let those insecurities rob you of this amazing time in your life. If you communicate ahead of time I can plan my poses around you and help you feel comfortable and confidant.
The second tip is be yourself. The more comfortable you are in front of the camera the better your photos will look. I will pose you in a way that is faltering to you. While posing, I will either guide you through a pose or mirror for you to copy me.
I know photosession can be a bit tedious, l provide snacks and refreshments. If there are any food allergies please communicate that prior to your session so I can properly prepare for you.
Don’t hesitate if you need to take a break every now and then.
If at any time during your session you need a break, you get too hot, too tired or just need to sit down just let me know.
After the session
About a week after your session we will schedule time and date for a zoom meeting to your viewing/ordering appointment where you'll enjoy seeing your images for the first time, using our guided process we'll help you select your favorites and will recommend the perfect options for preserving those special memories.
