Just BE
Prep Guide
This isn’t about finding the perfect outfits or showing up a certain way. It’s simply about bringing a few things that feel like YOU.
I’ve put together a little guidance to help you prepare, but there’s nothing you need to get exactly right. Trust what feels good, bring more options if you’re unsure, and we’ll figure out the rest together when you arrive.
WARDROBE
We’ll work with three looks during your session, and I’ll help you choose what works best once you arrive.
Please bring:
One light look
One dark look
One look that feels a little more vulnerable
That third look will mean something different for every woman. It might be an oversized sweater, a favorite T-shirt and jeans, lingerie, something that shows a little more skin—or something else entirely.
The most important thing is that everything you bring feels like YOU. There is no right or wrong choice, and nothing needs to feel more revealing than you’re comfortable with.
If you’re unsure, bring more options. That gives us even more to play with. We’ll have some fun and decide together.

A FEW EXTRA TIPS
Texture, patterns, & accessories
Textures and patterns can add beautiful dimension to your portraits. Hats, jewelry and other accessories are always welcome if they feel like part of your style.
Shoes—or no shoes
Many women choose to go barefoot, but bring whatever feels most natural to you.
Hair & makeup
Completely your choice. Come natural, get ready as you would for a special evening, or land somewhere in between. There is no right or wrong here. Again, whatever feels most like you.
And if you’re unsure about anything, bring it. I’m always happy to help you narrow things down once you arrive. Some women bring just a few things, others arrive with a whole suitcase—either is perfectly fine.

MAKE IT YOURS
If you feel inspired, bring something personal, creative or meaningful to you. It could be something symbolic, something connected to a part of your story, or simply something you love.
We may use it, we may not—we’ll let that unfold naturally.
Music can be part of the experience too. You’re welcome to create a playlist that feels like you, or we can choose something together when you arrive.
And if nothing comes to mind, that’s perfect too. You don’t need to bring anything special to make this experience meaningful.
You are enough, exactly as you are.
