We start with a conversation about what the photographs are for, who will see them, and how you want to present yourself. A professional headshot, an acting book and a modeling portfolio each call for a different approach.

We bring your ideas and references together, then choose the location, wardrobe and time of day around the light and the result you need.

The session can feel editorial and carefully posed, relaxed and organic, or a mix of both. I adapt my direction to your comfort, your personality and the purpose of the photographs.

We try movement, expressions and different ways of being in front of the camera, checking in along the way to see what feels right and what serves your vision.

We agree on the final selection, delivery and timeframe before the session, so the photographs are ready for the way you plan to use them.
