1. Start with the content you actually want
Before you think about outfits, think about how you’d love to use your photos. Maybe you need fresh images for your website or social media, content for your business or personal brand, or simply photos that finally feel like you.
Your Founding Session includes 15 final images, so having a few ideas in mind helps us create a gallery you’ll genuinely want to use and share.
- ☐ A few horizontal images with space around you for websites, banners or graphics
- ☐ A clean, straight-to-camera portrait
- ☐ Natural lifestyle shots — walking, sitting, sipping, laughing or interacting with props
- ☐ A few vertical, full-length images for social media, stories and reels
- ☐ Detail shots — hands, accessories, coffee, products or anything that feels like you
- ☐ Any specific must-have image you’ve been envisioning
2. Choose outfits that make you feel good
Your session includes approximately 10 minutes for prep and outfit changes, so we recommend planning one or two looks. Arrive wearing your first look and bring a second option if you’d like some variety.
Choose pieces that fit well, feel comfortable and make you feel like yourself. Solid colours, interesting textures and simple patterns photograph beautifully, while very fine stripes, tiny prints and large logos can sometimes distract on camera.
- ☐ Arrive dressed in your first look
- ☐ Bring one optional second look
- ☐ Bring outfits on hangers rather than folded in a bag
- ☐ Try everything on beforehand — sitting and standing
- ☐ Consider layers for quick variety
- ☐ Choose undergarments that work with each outfit
- ☐ Bring the shoes and accessories for each look
- ☐ Don’t stress about a few wrinkles — we’ll have a steamer and lint rollers ready for you
3. Hair, skin & finishing touches
The goal isn’t to look different — it’s to feel like you. Wear your hair and makeup in a way that makes you feel confident and comfortable. If you’re planning a haircut, colour, facial, brows or another beauty treatment, consider doing it several days before your session rather than trying something brand new the day before.
Our editing is natural and polished, allowing your features and natural beauty to shine through, so focus on the little things that help you feel your best.
- ☐ Get a good night’s sleep and stay hydrated
- ☐ Style your hair in a way you already know you love
- ☐ Choose makeup that feels like you — just a little more polished if you’d like
- ☐ Make sure nails are clean and tidy; they don’t need to be professionally done
- ☐ Choose jewellery and accessories that complement your looks
- ☐ Bring a hairbrush or comb and any favourite touch-up products
- ☐ Pack your lipstick/gloss or makeup for quick touch-ups
4. Bring props that feel like you
Props can help tell your story, add personality to your photos and give you something natural to interact with in front of the camera. Think about what represents you, your work, your interests or what you’re creating content for.
If you own a business, that might be your products, packaging or tools you actually use. If you’re creating personal content, it could be a favourite book, sunglasses, your everyday bag or something connected to what you love.
Keep it intentional — a few meaningful pieces are better than bringing everything.
- ☐ Products, packaging or tools from your business, if relevant
- ☐ Laptop, tablet, notebook or planner
- ☐ Favourite book or magazine
- ☐ Sunglasses, handbag or other accessories
- ☐ Something connected to your hobby, work or personality
- ☐ Any must-have item you’d love incorporated into your photos
- ☐ Don’t worry about bringing a drink — we’ll have yours ready for you
5. The day itself
Arrive up to 30 minutes early with your outfits on hangers rather than folded in a bag. Your reserved 30-minute session includes approximately 10 minutes for prep and outfit changes, followed by 20 minutes of photography. Arriving late won’t extend your session, so coming early gives you time to settle in without feeling rushed.
Come early, stay after — this is your space. Grab another coffee, meet the other women shooting that day and cheer each other on. All we ask is that whoever is in front of the camera gets the room to have their moment and shine.
And don’t worry about knowing how to pose — that’s our job. We’ll guide you through natural movement and simple prompts so nothing feels forced. Walk, turn, adjust a sleeve, laugh, talk, often it’s those little in-between moments that create the photos you’ll love most.
- ☐ Arrive up to 30 minutes early so you have time to settle in
- ☐ Arrive wearing your first look
- ☐ Bring your second look on a hanger
- ☐ Bring any props or must-have shot ideas
- ☐ Charge your phone if you’d like to capture your own behind-the-scenes moments
- ☐ Double-check your parking and arrival instructions before leaving home
- ☐ Then relax — we’ll take it from there
