"Can my mom come?" is one of the most common questions I get before a senior session.

And the answer is always yes.

In fact, I encourage it.

Senior sessions are a big milestone, not just for seniors, but for parents too. They've spent years cheering from the sidelines, helping with homework, driving to practices, and watching their child grow into the person they are today.

It's completely normal to want a parent there for support, especially if you're feeling a little nervous in front of the camera.

The good news? Most seniors relax within the first few minutes of their session. We keep things easy, fun, and low-pressure. I'll guide you through poses, help with what to do with your hands, and make sure you never feel awkward or unsure.

Parents often end up being the best hype team, helping with outfit changes, carrying extra items, fixing flyaway hairs, and offering encouragement throughout the session.

My goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and excited about the experience.

So if you're wondering whether Mom can come along...

Absolutely. She's welcome here too. 🤍📸✨

"What should I wear?" is probably the number one question I get after someone books a session.

And honestly, I get it.

Choosing outfits for photos can feel overwhelming. You want to look good, coordinate with everyone else, fit the location, and still feel like yourself.

My biggest tip? Start with neutrals.

Creams, tans, whites, soft browns, muted greens, and other neutral tones photograph beautifully because they keep the focus on you rather than your clothing. They also coordinate easily with other outfits and tend to have a timeless look that won't feel dated years from now.

That's where I come in.

When you book with me, you're not left guessing. I'll help guide you through outfit choices, color palettes, and pieces that photograph beautifully while still feeling natural and true to your style.

Having modeling experience myself has given me a unique perspective behind the camera. I know how much confidence the right outfit can bring, and I know how stressful it can feel trying to decide what will look best in photos.

The goal isn't to wear something expensive or trendy.
The goal is to wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like the best version of yourself.

One of the biggest misconceptions about booking a photo session is thinking you need to know how to pose before you arrive.

You don't.

In fact, most of the people you see on my page have never had professional photos taken before, and many of them tell me they're nervous because they don't know what to do in front of the camera.

The good news? That's not your job.

My job is to guide you through the entire session. I'll tell you where to stand, what to do with your hands, where to look, and I'll keep you moving so nothing feels stiff or forced.

Having modeling experience myself has given me a unique perspective behind the camera. I know what it feels like to be the one being photographed, and I know how awkward it can feel when you're unsure of what to do next. Because of that, I'm constantly pulling from poses, prompts, and experiences I've learned over the years to help my clients feel comfortable and confident.

The goal isn't to make you pose like a model.

The goal is to create photos that feel natural, genuine, and like the best version of you.

This is the same senior who told me, "I don't know how to pose." 💕

"I feel awkward in photos."

This is one of the most common things clients tell me before their session.

The good news? You don't have to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to smile for the camera.

My job is to guide you every step of the way so your photos feel natural, relaxed, and most importantly—like you.

This is the same person whose sister told me she felt awkward in photos. 💛

Before almost every session, I hear some version of:

📸 "I'm awkward in photos."
📸 "I don't know how to pose."
📸 "My kids won't cooperate."
📸 "I'm not photogenic."
📸 "I'm nervous."

If you've ever thought one of those things, you're not alone.

Over the next few posts, I'm sharing some of the most common things clients tell me before their session—and the photos that followed.

Because the truth is, you don't need to be a model, know how to pose, or have everything figured out before you step in front of my camera.

That's what I'm here for. 💛
