Before anything else
Maybe you’re celebrating a milestone. Stepping into a new chapter. Creating a gift. Or simply choosing to do something that is entirely for you.
There is no “right” reason. When you reconnect with yours, the worry about how you will look begins to soften. This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about recognising the woman who is already here.
Before you arrive
Arrive with clean, completely dry hair. If you wear your hair naturally curly, style it as you normally would; your hair and makeup artist can define and perfect your curls. If you plan to style your own hair, please let us know beforehand so we can adjust the timing.
Come with a clean face and freshly moisturised skin. Avoid trying new products or treatments in the days before your session. Moisturise your body too, but skip anything shimmery or tinted on the morning itself.
Clean, tidy nails photograph beautifully. Neutral or classic colours are ideal, but the most important thing is that your polish is fresh and chip-free. Remember your toes if you are planning barefoot portraits.
Bring your outfits clean, wrinkle-free and on hangers. If you are torn between pieces, bring an extra option—we will choose together. Include the shoes, jewellery and meaningful personal pieces you may want to use.
Wax a few days before your shoot to give your skin time to settle. If you prefer to shave, do it the night before. Focus on your legs and underarms. If you’re planning to wear lingerie or a bodysuit, take care of your bikini area too.
The Confidence Project
Your full experience
Bring your outfits upstairs, take a breath and make yourself at home. We’ll look through everything together before we begin.
Your artist will talk through the look you love, then create camera-ready hair and makeup that still feels entirely like you.
You will be guided through every pose, expression and movement. You never need to know what to do in front of the camera—that is our job.
After your session, enjoy a drink and a little time to relax while your photographs are prepared for viewing.
We’ll view your images together and help you choose the portraits you love most. There is no pressure and no wrong way to choose.
What’s your mood?
You don’t have to choose just one. Your session can move between softness and strength, giving you a collection with range and feeling.
Soft · luminous · romantic
Beautiful with pale tones, natural textures, simple sets and effortless styling.
Your session
Every gallery is guided, relaxed and entirely your own.
Bold · sculpted · powerful
Made for deep tones, lace, beautiful shape and a stronger editorial feeling.
Your session
Deep tones and sculpted light, guided every step of the way.
The final check
Place everything together the night before. On the morning, wear loose clothing to avoid marks on your skin—and give yourself plenty of time to arrive without rushing.
