Outfits & Styling

Choose 2–3 outfits that make you feel comfortable and reflect your personal style.

Avoid wearing all-black outfits.

Select clean, wrinkle-free clothing without large or distracting logos — unless they are intentionally part of your look.

Thoughtfully chosen accessories such as hats, jewelry, jackets, or bracelets can complement your style beautifully. If several people will be photographed together, it’s a good idea to coordinate outfits in advance.

Hair & Face

Style your hair in the way you feel most confident. Bring a hairbrush and any styling products you might need.

For men: Please shave or trim your beard, and consider a quick check for nose & ear hair — a small detail that creates a polished appearance.

A matte complexion photographs best. Avoid oily skincare products before the session; a light powder can help reduce shine.

 You’re welcome to bring your usual makeup products for touch-ups or if you prefer to do your own makeup.

Posing Guidance

Posing is a collaboration — my goal is always to help you look natural, confident, and at your best. During the photoshoot, I will guide you step by step through flattering angles, posture, and expressions, so you never have to worry about what to do.

If you’d like to prepare beforehand, you are welcome to practice at home in front of a mirror. I have created curated pose boards on Pinterest — one for women and one for men — which you can use for inspiration and to see which poses feel natural for you.
