Feeling nervous is completely normal. Almost everyone does. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, caring space with tea, treats, warmth and gentle guidance. This is not a performance. It’s a supported experience, and we’ll take care of you every step of the way.

Before your shoot, we take time to learn a little about you. Your comfort, preferences, and needs help us prepare everything thoughtfully, so your day feels personal, unhurried, and just right for you.

Once you’re settled into a fluffy robe, we begin hair and makeup, tailored specifically to your features and your comfort level. While you relax, we’ll serve special treats and make sure everything feels unrushed and grounding.

When hair and makeup are complete, you’ll see yourself in the mirror. If there’s anything you’d like adjusted, just tell us. This moment is about you feeling happy, confident, and truly seen.

No one is expected to know how to pose. Sasha will guide you through a short, supportive posing tutorial, and then continue directing you throughout the shoot. Think of it as calm coaching rather than being “on camera”.

After your tutorial, you’ll change into costume and be gently guided onto set. A few nerves at this point are totally normal, and they usually melt away within minutes. You are never left wondering what to do.

Throughout the shoot, we work with your comfort levels, your confidence, and your boundaries. Direction is constant, encouragement is real, and everything moves at a pace that feels safe and affirming.

Once the shoot wraps up, you’ll relax while Sasha curates a shortlist of your strongest images. Dianne or Marija will then sit with you to preview your photos and help you choose the ones you love most.

You’ll receive clear reminders and preparation emails two weeks and two days before your shoot, so you never feel unsure or unprepared. We’re always here if you have questions.
