Pre-Session Communication: Setting the Stage for Magic

The moments leading up to your fantasy or underwater portrait session are just as important as the session itself.
Clear, thoughtful communication helps you feel prepared, excited, and confident, so when the big day arrives, you can step fully into your role as the star of your own story.
Here’s how I make sure you feel supported every step of the way:

Mood Boards & Visual Inspiration

Sometimes it’s easier to see the vision than to describe it.
That’s why I create mood boards filled with colors, textures, poses, and aesthetic references to help bring the creative direction to life.
Whether you’re channeling an ethereal mermaid, a fierce fae warrior, or something entirely your own, these visuals ensure we’re aligned in capturing the exact look and feeling you want.

Preparation Guides

Preparation is the secret ingredient to a smooth, stress-free session.
You’ll receive a beautifully designed prep guide—either as a PDF or detailed email—that outlines everything you need to know.
Inside, you’ll find tips for wardrobe selection (including underwater-friendly choices), guidance on how to mentally and physically prepare, and a timeline of what to expect on session day. Think of it as your personal handbook to stepping into the experience with ease.

Safety & Comfort

Your well-being—both physical and emotional—is my top priority. For underwater sessions, I’ll explain safety steps in detail, from breath-holding techniques to shallow-water posing options. In fantasy sessions, I’ll ensure costumes, props, and posing feel comfortable and empowering.
This clear communication helps you know exactly what to expect, so you can relax into the moment and feel completely safe expressing yourself.

✨ Pre-session communication isn’t just about logistics—it’s about building trust, excitement, and a sense of collaboration.
With mood boards, preparation guides, and open conversations about safety, you’ll walk into your session feeling fully supported and ready to shine.
