What I Wish More Clients Knew Before Their Session

Can I just be honest for a sec?

Nobody walks into my studio feeling like a badass. No one feels fully ready. And almost every person tells me some version of, “Sorry, I’m probably the most awkward human you’ve ever photographed.”

Spoiler alert—you’re not. You’re just human. And you’re not alone.

So here’s what I wish more people knew before they showed up.

You are not awkward. You’ve just spent most of your life trying not to be “too much” or take up too much space. You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s literally my job. You don’t need to practice or be photogenic or know what to do with your hands. You just need to show up. I’ll walk you through the rest.

You are not broken. You might be exhausted. You might be carrying way too much. You might not recognize yourself anymore. But you’re not broken. And you’re not too far gone to feel something again.

You don’t have to earn this. You don’t have to lose weight, buy fancy lingerie, or feel 100% okay with your body before you book. This isn’t something you do when you’ve finally “arrived.” This is something you do on the way back to yourself.

You are not too much. You’re not too loud, too quiet, too shy, too curvy, too nervous, too emotional, too anything. You are allowed to take up space in this room, exactly as you are.

You don’t have to feel ready. You just have to be open. That’s it.

Let me take care of the rest.

Still soft, still dangerous,

Jess
