The questions first-timers send before they book
Almost every first message has the same three worries, so here are the answers up front.
“I do not know how to pose.” You are not supposed to. I give one instruction at a time, a hand here, a chin there, and show you the back of the camera after the first few frames so you can see it working.
“I do not like my stomach, my arms, my scars.” That is the most common sentence I hear in the first ten minutes. We solve it with light and angle, not with hiding: a window to one side gives shape and softness, and a sheet or an oversized shirt covers exactly what you want covered.
“What if I cannot relax?” Most hotels in Palm Beach County let you in around mid afternoon, so we do not rush the room. We start by talking, with the camera down, and I only begin shooting once you say you are ready.
Come with three to five looks, one you already feel good in, and a short list of what you do not want photographed. That list is respected without any explanation.
