When people book a photoshoot, they often worry about one thing: “What do I do with my hands?” It’s the classic fear of looking stiff, awkward, or not like yourself. But here’s the thing — the photos that really stick with us, the ones that feel alive — they don’t come from perfect poses. They come from what’s real.
That’s why I use just enough direction to make you feel comfortable — a tilt here, a step there — and then I let you breathe. From there, it’s about laughter, pauses, and the little unscripted moments that sneak in when you stop performing. Those are the shots that look like they’ve been pulled straight from a film.
My goal isn’t to capture a “perfect version” of you. It’s to catch the way your eyes light up mid-conversation, the half-smile when you’re about to laugh, the stillness that says more than words. I want your portraits to feel like they could live on a movie screen, not in a yearbook.
I take a lot of inspiration from Peter Lindbergh, who was famous for photographing people as they were — raw, unpolished, deeply human. His work reminds me that honesty outlasts trends. Timelessness lives in emotion, not in the perfect curl of hair.
So when you step into a session with me, don’t worry about “posing right.” We’ll work together, keep it light, and probably laugh a lot. The best portraits come when you forget about the camera and just show up as yourself.
Because here’s the secret: you don’t need to pose to be beautiful — you just need to be you.
