1) Come barefaced; leave glam
No makeup, no problem. I have a makeup corner, a big mirror, and time to get you photo-ready. We can do skin prep, light glam, or nothing at all; your call.
2) Arrive undecided; we’ll find your look together
You do not need moodboards or a “persona”. We test light, try quick poses, swap outfits, and keep what works. You say “Yes, that’s me, ” then we lean into it. If you are unsure, we shoot short micro-sets and vote on screen together.
3) Bring a drink; make yourself at home
Water, coffee, matcha, a mini celebratory sip after we wrap; totally fine.
4) Pets are welcome; fur is a texture
Dogs, cats, rabbits; I’m in. Tell me in advance so I prep lint rollers, covers, and water bowls.
5) Ask to Photoshop anything; add things too
Temporary things can go; pimples, bruises, stray hairs, lint, background clutter. Permanent features stay yours unless you ask to dial them down. We can also add elements, text, or do light composites if it fits the concept.
6) One shoot, many lives
You don’t need separate bookings for LinkedIn, creative portraits, and bikini or boudoir. If time allows, we shoot it all in one flow and you leave with range.
7) Bring a friend, a partner, or the whole team
Couples, besties, bands, small crews; I will pose everyone so each person looks good. We rotate individuals and pairs, then stack clean group frames.
8) Bring your soundtrack
Rap, classical, hyperpop, Ukrainian indie; whatever gets you in the zone. I have speakers; you are the DJ.
9) See the magic as we shoot
There is a big mirror for micro-adjustments and a tethered screen so you can review as we shoot. We star favourites on the spot; you know what you are getting before you leave.
10) Not just studio; let’s go make it cinematic
Lake, forest, beach, graffiti wall, cliff walk; yes. We plan light and weather; bring a warm layer and a simple shoe for walking. If a permit or fee is needed, I’ll flag it in advance; we keep a studio backup in case the sky throws a tantrum.
How a session flows

- Warm-up mini set — gentle poses, find your angles.
- Build the looks — shoot plan evolves with you; headshot, creative.
