Things Iâd tell you as your photographer⌠if I wasnât afraid of hurting your feelings đ
đ¸
But because I do care about you, your photos, and future you hanging these on the wall⌠here we go (with love đ).
⨠This is not judgement - this is photographer honesty â¨
đ¤ I donât edit bodies into something theyâre not.
Iâll smooth, enhance and polish -
but I wonât make you âskinnyâ or reshape you into a stranger.
You deserve to look like you, just on your best day.
đ¤ Fake tans + photography = enemies.
They go green, orange, patchy and uneven on camera and theyâre a nightmare to fix.
If youâre unsure⌠skip it. Your natural skin always photographs better.
đ¤ You want candid photosâŚ
⌠but then you pose, freeze and ask âwhat do I doâ.
The magic happens when you stop trying and just be.
Iâll guide you so you donât feel lost.
đ¤ The weather is unpredictable. Always.
But lighting matters more than blue skies.
Super overcast days make skin tones look muddy and leave your images looking flat.
If we need to reschedule weâll reschedule.
đ¤ Prep Matters
* Un-ironed clothes
* Chipped nails
* Hair thrown together last minute
Youâve booked a photoshoot - future you will thank present you for preparing just a little đ
I have a styling guide I can send you if youâre feeling lost here.
đ¤ Your kids donât need to behave.
They need to be themselves.
Forcing smiles or telling them to stop usually makes it worse. Bribery works sometimes but not all the time.
Let them move, explore, and be kids - thatâs where the real moments are.
đ¤ The energy sets the tone.
If you donât want to be there⌠it shows.
Kids feel it.
Photos reflect it.
Your energy sets the tone more than you realise.
đ¤ Perfect doesnât exist.
Connection does.
Messy laughs over stiff poses
Real moments over forced ones
Movement over stillness
đ¤ Trends are fun right nowâŚ
But in 5 years?
Timeless always wins.
Your photos should age well - just like the memories.
⨠This isnât about rules. Itâs about creating photos that feel real, relaxed and timeless.
Trust the process.
Trust your photographer â¨
đ¸ Save this before booking your next session.
