Of course! I'm here to help you with posing and to make sure you look your best. You just need to relax & have fun.
"I have some problem areas will you Photoshop them out"?
I will do my absolute best to remove or add anything that you want shown in your final images. Thinner arms & waists or bigger boobs are the most common requests, just let me know.
"Can I bring a friend"?
Sure, I have no problem with you bringing someone along for support. Sometimes a girlfriend is better to bring along than a spouse/partner as it can be awkward posing whilst they're sat in the room too. Just let me know before hand.
"I have no idea what to bring, any ideas"?!
Once we get a date confirmed, we can always msg and send 'Inspo' images or ideas to each other and figure out what looks you're happy with.

No problem, just ask. We'll only ever try poses or props that you're happy to try. You can bring your own or I might have some we can use.

Once we finish the shoot, ensure I have your email address as I'll send you all of the 'unedited' proofs via Google Drive. I'll just need to know the 'image/file numbers' you'd like me to retouch for you.
"What should I wear to the shoot"?!
Just wear whatever works for you. If you want to wear that new lingerie or feel sexy in a cute bra set. Men's shirts or PJ's! You're welcome to bring a robe to cover up in between shoots. Also bring anything you'll need to fix your hair & makeup. Don't forget those accessories: jewellery, pearls, stockings, heels.
