Bring clothing that fits comfortably and reflects how you want to present yourself at work. Think about the people who will see your photograph and the setting where it will appear. We can discuss outfit options when planning your session.

Can you help if I’m uncomfortable in front of the camera?

Yes. You don’t need modeling experience. We offer preparation and posing guidance throughout your session, including help with expression and how you stand or sit.
