For Your First Session
Green house with a covered front porch, park in the driveway
Plan for 4 hours for your first session. Wear loose fitting clothing and no bra, nothing that will leave marks or indents on your skin, to your shoot. BRING SLIPPERS to wear when you are not posing (or indoor shoes/sandals, something easy to get in and out of)
The most common question is "What should I bring?"
BRING A FEW OUTFITS. We'll go through the outfits and choose a couple. I would like to shoot you in an outfit for your first photo set of the session, just to make sure we're all comfortable. Jeans, a crop top, a thong, matching Calvin Klien bra/panty set always work well. Also, you are responsible for doing your own hair and make-up.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO SHOPPING FOR NEW OUTFITS!
You can if you wish, but how many professional, high quality photos do you have in the clothes you wore out last weekend or anytime? If they are good enough for you to got out in, they are perfect for a photoshoot! The best photos I have taken were not in the latest outfit someone purchased, but in everyday clothes, or what you lounge around your house in. Don't overthink it!
Although not necessary, I recommend bringing a friend for moral support or safety concerns, but absolutely no "significant other", husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, FWB etc... That is too much of a distraction to both of us and I will not conduct the session.
If you have any concerns about our professionalism or your safety, all my models are tagged on Instagram and will gladly verify that I am reputable.
IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP FOR YOUR SESSION WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME, YOU WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR ANOTHER SESSION!!
PLEASE SHOW UP ON TIME! I WILL BE READY AND EXPECT YOU AT YOUR SCHEDULED TIME
I treat TFP sessions the same as a paid shoot AND EXPECT THE SAME FROM YOU. I block off time for these sessions that could be used to spend with my family or shooting other models that are waiting for their sessions.
Please be sure to follow my Instagram and give me photo credits whenever you share any of the photos from our session
Why I Shoot Nudes
For two very simple reasons.
#1, for the ART. There is nothing more beautiful than the female form. It is the most pure and natural art form and has been the subject of artists for centuries, literally since cave paintings.
#2, to build confidence and self esteem. Any woman can feel good about themselves in a favorite outfit they purchased, but nude? That takes skill. Because the one thing I've learned in the years I've been shooting female nudes is that EVERYONE has an issue with their nude form and I think that is literally horrific! I do my best to show them how absolutely beautiful they are. I do NOT do it to "see naked women". I do NOT in ANY way do it for sexual gratification for myself or anyone else. Nude art is pure, it is natural, it is timeless, and it is beautiful. People really need to understand this and stop labeling this beautiful style of art as "dirty" or "naughty" or "shameful" or "lustful". There is no shame at all in the human form that God created.
