🔑 Episode Summary

In this episode, I talk about what really helps clients feel comfortable, confident, and open during their photoshoots. Getting your photo or video taken can be deeply vulnerable — it’s not just about the camera, it’s about trust, safety, and connection.

I share how I intentionally create that experience for my clients — from the moment we first meet, to the music we play on set, to how I direct you in real time. Because comfort doesn’t come from being photogenic; it comes from feeling at ease in your own body and with the person behind the camera.

📌 You’ll hear me talk about:

  • Why your relationship with your photographer or videographer matters more than the creative director
  • How I build trust before shoot day through pre-shoot calls and creative collaboration
  • What I do on set to help you relax — music, direction, warmth, and calm energy
  • Why I handle location coordination and logistics so you can simply show up and be present
  • How I use my tone, presence, and genuine affirmation to help you open up and actually enjoy being seen

đź’¬ Quotes from this episode:

“It’s not that you’re not photogenic — you just don’t feel comfortable in your own skin.”

“You open up more easily when you feel like you already know me.”

“I’m big on being relational, not transactional. That’s what lets you relax into yourself.”

“Music disarms you. It helps you get into your body and actually feel good being seen.”
