Preparation · step 02

Before the shoot you get a moodboard

It's a collage of examples: mood, poses, light, outfits. I put it together for your idea and send it in advance - so you see what the shoot will look like and can prepare calmly.

What the moodboard gives you

01 · Poses

The poses are already worked out

The moodboard has pose examples for your idea. During the shoot I prompt each one.

02 · Outfits

Easier to put a look together

We choose clothes, makeup and hair together to match the moodboard - and the look comes together naturally.

03 · Result

No surprises

The final frames look the way we agreed - you saw it before the shoot.

How it works

Everything happens gently and without rush - before the session day.

01 · Idea

You share your idea

What the photos are for and what mood you want. Feel free to send your own references - photos and poses saved from Pinterest, Instagram or anywhere else.

02 · Moodboard

I build the moodboard

I pick examples of poses, light and style for your idea - including the references you chose yourself.

03 · Preparation

You prepare with it

Clothes, makeup, mindset. You arrive at the shoot already knowing what we're doing.
