What to Expect During a HER Portrait Experience

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do a photoshoot, but I don’t know how to pose,” or “I’m not confident enough yet,”— you’re not alone.


Most women who book a HER portrait experience don’t walk in feeling like models. They walk in feeling curious, nervous, excited, and sometimes unsure. And that’s exactly why this experience is designed the way it is.


Here’s what you can expect — step by step.

Before the Session: Planning, Not Guesswork


Your experience starts before you ever step in front of the camera.


Once you inquire, we’ll have a discovery call to talk through:

  • Why you’re booking

  • What this season of life looks like for you

  • How you want to feel when you see your images


You don’t need to have a vision fully figured out — that’s my job. I’ll help guide wardrobe choices, looks, and overall direction so you don’t feel overwhelmed or unsure leading up to your session.


This stage is about intention, not perfection.

During the Session: Fully Guided, Always Supported

This is where most women realize they’ve been worried for nothing.


You will never be left wondering what to do with your hands, your face, or your body. Every pose is guided. Every adjustment is intentional. Every moment is paced to help you settle in, not rush through.


During your session, you can expect:

  • Clear, confident posing direction

  • Gentle coaching for expressions and movement

  • Lighting and angles designed to flatter you

  • A calm, encouraging environment


You don’t need to “know how to pose.”You don’t need to “lose weight first.”You don’t need to be anything other than present.


Confidence is something we build together during the session.


The Pace: Calm, Not Rushed


HER portrait sessions are intentionally paced so you can ease into the experience.


Most women tell me the first few minutes feel a little awkward — and then something shifts. You relax. You start to trust the process. You see yourself differently.


That’s when the magic happens.


After the Session: Image Selection & Retouching


After your session, you’ll view your images and select the ones you’d like professionally retouched.


Retouching is done thoughtfully and professionally — enhancing your skin and details without changing who you are. No heavy filters. No over-editing. Just polished, natural results that still look like you.


For women who choose elevated experiences, heirloom products such as albums or acrylic folio boxes are available to preserve your images beyond your screen.


How You’ll Feel When It’s Done


This is the part most women don’t expect.


They come in thinking they’re booking photos — and leave feeling:

  • More confident

  • More seen

  • More connected to themselves

  • Proud they showed up


Many tell me they didn’t realize how much they needed this experience until they had it.


Is a HER Portrait Experience Right for You?


This experience is for you if:

  • You want to be guided, not rushed

  • You value quality and intention

  • You’re ready to invest in yourself

  • You want images that feel meaningful, not forced


If you’re looking for a quick, no-frills photoshoot, this likely isn’t the right fit — and that’s okay.


Ready for the Next Step?


If you’re curious about what a HER portrait experience could look like for you, the next step is a discovery call. We’ll talk through your vision and decide which experience best fits where you are right now.
