What to Expect
1. A Brief Consultation
We start with a short conversation to understand your goals, your concerns, and how you want to be seen. This ensures weβre aligned before we ever pick up a camera.
2. Thoughtful Preparation
Youβll receive guidance on wardrobe, timing, and what to expect so you arrive feeling prepared, not stressed or guessing.
3. A Calm, Guided Session
During your session, I guide you every step of the way. Nothing is rushed. We adjust in real time so you feel comfortable and confident on camera.
4. Image Selection With Support
Youβll review your images with guidance, so youβre never left wondering what works or what to choose.
5. Finished Images You Feel Good Using
Your final images are professionally refined and delivered within 72 hours, ready to use and share with confidence.
Clients often come to me with photos that are technically βfine,β but not attracting the opportunities or connections they want.
When your images reflect how you actually show up in real life (confident, grounded, and approachable) the response changes.
Whether that means different conversations, better-aligned opportunities, or stronger connections, the shift is rarely subtle.
Meet Emily
Most people come to me feeling unsure. Unsure how to pose, what to wear, or whether they will even like being photographed. That hesitation is completely normal.
My role is not just to take photos. It is to guide you through the entire experience so you feel prepared, supported, and confident every step of the way. Whether you are updating your professional presence, stepping into visibility, or putting yourself out there in a new way, you will never be left wondering what to do.
From our first conversation through image selection, I help you make thoughtful choices and guide you naturally during your session. The result is imagery that feels like you. Confident, approachable, and intentional.
With over 15 years of experience working with professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals, I know how to create images that help people be seen the way they want to be seen.
You do not need to be photogenic. You do not need to practice. You just need to show up. I will take care of the rest.
