Plan your outfits with intent in regard to your shoot goals. what are you trying to convey with your photos? i recommend preparing 1-6 looks depending on the length of your session.

I suggest opting for flattering / fitted silhouettes, avoiding patterns / bright colors. there are exceptions, but keeping it simple usually looks best. If you need further styling suggestions, I'm happy to help.

I provide a lint roller, steamer, and garment rack. please lint roll and steam your clothes before arriving in order to make the most out of our time together, if you can.

what I do

removal of temporary things such as pimples, blemishes, lint, stray hairs, etc. I may apply other edits according to my artistic judgment and based on the goals of the shoot such as subtle eye brightening, teeth whitening, shadows under eyes, and makeup color correction to match skin.

what I do not do

heavy editing that alters the integrity of the subject such as face/body reshaping, height adjustment/ lengthening, and unnatural changes to hair/ eye color.

Permanent things such as moles /scars/ birthmarks/ wrinkles/ tattoos remain untouched (unless requested).
