  • Your self judgment.
  • Your comparisons.

Practical Guidance
Clothing
  • Fewer options are better. Bring one or two favorite outfits if you like.
  • Bring a robe if you have one. flip flops if you have them.
  • Think jeans, a simple white button-down shirt, or a plain black sweater or dress (depending on season) always work beautifully.
  • Simple, timeless clothes let the focus stay on you.
  • If there is something intimate you love and or: stockings, heels, shoes, boots, etc. bring them
Makeup & Hair
  • Keep makeup as you normally wear it, or less — not more.
  • Avoid heavy styling. Natural and honest translates best in photographs.
Props
  • If you’d like, you can bring something meaningful to you — but nothing is required.

Preparation
  • Try to arrive rested and hydrated.
  • Give yourself space to settle before we begin.
  • It’s best to avoid wearing bras and underwear to the session, as they leave marks on the skin. 
  • You don’t need to perform; you only need to be present.
  • If you’d like, bring a water bottle or a light snack — sessions can sometimes run long, and it’s important to stay comfortable.
