📸 Behind the Scenes: What to Expect at a Photoshoot with Me
Are you thinking about booking a photoshoot with me but still feeling a little unsure about how it all works? Don’t worry! In this post, I’ll take you behind the scenes so you’ll know exactly what to expect – from the very first message to your final, beautiful photos. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy every moment!
🗓️ 1️⃣ Booking & Initial Chat
Everything starts with you getting in touch – preferably by email, my contact form, or on social media. Tell me: What do you have in mind? Do you want an outdoor couple photoshoot, a family adventure session, or portraits just for yourself? Is it something special like an engagement shoot or maternity session? Maybe you already have a dream location, or you’d like some ideas – I’m here to help!
During our pre-shoot chat, we’ll talk about everything: I want to get to know you a little, and you can see if the vibe between us feels right. We’ll discuss your vision, the look, outfits, best time of day, location ideas, and lighting. Don’t worry – I’ll guide you through it all so we find what suits you best and makes you feel totally at ease.
📷 2️⃣ Arrival & Getting Comfortable
On your photoshoot day, we’ll meet at our chosen spot – usually somewhere outdoors, in nature, or at a special place that means something to you. First, we’ll settle in, answer any last questions, do a quick outfit check, and then we’re ready to start! I love to keep things relaxed – we’ll chat, laugh, and I promise I’ll help you shake off any nerves.
✨ 3️⃣ How the Photoshoot Flows
You don’t need any modeling experience – at all! I’ll guide you gently with little prompts and ideas, we’ll move around a lot, and I’ll capture real, authentic moments. No stiff poses or forced smiles – just genuine emotions, natural movement, and lots of fun.
Sometimes we might change locations if we spot a better backdrop or the light shifts. If we’ve planned for it, you can also switch outfits during the session – it’s totally up to you and the time we have.
🌿 4️⃣ The Vibe During the Shoot
Your comfort is my top priority. If you ever feel unsure, we’ll pause for a moment. Bringing kids or pets? Even better! They’re free to run, cuddle, and play – it makes your photos truly come alive. Need a bathroom break? Please just tell me! It’s totally normal – and trust me, if you’re uncomfortable, it will show in the photos. Same goes for grabbing a sip of water or a quick snack – feel free!
💻 5️⃣ After the Photoshoot
Once we’re done, I carefully sort through all the images and edit them lovingly in my signature style. I’ll then upload your personal gallery online so you can choose your favorite shots – or get them all! You’ll receive high-resolution downloads and can also order prints, canvases, and more directly through your gallery.
🌞 6️⃣ My Personal Tip for You
Communication is everything – sadly, I can’t read minds! If something feels off or you’d like to try something different, just tell me. I want you to love your photos. Also, trust me to do my thing – you can always ask to see a few shots on my camera during the shoot if you’re curious or feeling unsure.
And that’s it! If you’re now excited to step in front of my camera, just reach out – I can’t wait to meet you and capture your story in beautiful, natural images. ✨
