Getting ready for your first CRAVE Session or just thinking about finally taking the plunge? Feeling a little excited and maybe a little nervous? No worries, we’ve got your back! CRAVE Sessions are all about embracing your unique beauty, boosting your confidence, and having an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re wondering what to wear, how to pose, or just feeling a little unsure about stepping in front of the camera, we’ve got all the tips you need to feel your absolute best. Spoiler alert: it’s going to be amazing!
1. Wear What Makes You Feel Confident and Comfortable
What is the most important rule when it comes to choosing outfits for your CRAVE Session? Wear what makes you feel amazing. Whether it’s lingerie, your favorite oversized sweater, or something unique like a leather jacket or a flowy dress, the key is to pick something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Don’t feel pressured to wear anything you’re not totally into—this session is all about YOU and your style!
If you’re unsure, bring a few options. Having a variety of looks means we can play with different vibes and capture every side of your personality. Don’t forget accessories like jewelry, shoes, or even props that reflect your interests!
2. Hydrate and Rest Up
The night before your CRAVE Session, make sure to stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep. That does not mean hydrate by having some cocktails to loosen up LOL! While we do make you a custom cocktail during your session, make sure you drink plenty of water. This will reduce bloating and make sure your skin looks bright and radiant for the shoot. Rest and hydration will help you feel refreshed and energized for your big day. You don’t need to change up your entire routine, but a little extra TLC never hurts.
3. Pamper Yourself
A little self-care goes a long way! If you can, treat yourself to a pampering session. Whether it’s a manicure, a bubble bath, or a fresh blowout, doing something special for yourself will not only help you feel gorgeous but will also boost your confidence going into the shoot.
Don’t feel the need to go overboard or do anything out of the ordinary. The key is to feel like the best version of YOU—whatever that looks like.
4. Practice Posing at Home
While part of my job is to guide you through posing during the shoot, practicing a few poses at home can make you feel more confident when you step in front of the camera. Stand in front of a mirror and try different angles, movements, or even expressions. Find what makes you feel the most empowered and comfortable.
Don’t worry about being a posing pro—that’s what I’m here for! But feeling a little familiar with how your body moves can make the experience more fun and relaxed.
5. Relax and Breathe
It’s completely normal to feel nervous before your CRAVE Session. Stepping in front of the camera in such an intimate and empowering way can feel a little overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. But here’s the thing: we’re going to have a blast, and I’ll be guiding you every step of the way. You’ll be amazed at how quickly those nerves turn into excitement!
Take some deep breaths before we begin, and remember that this experience is meant to be fun, uplifting, and all about celebrating YOU. The more you relax and enjoy the process, the better you’ll feel—and the more your confidence will shine through in the photos.
6. Communicate Your Vision
Do you have a specific vibe or look you’re going for in your session? Whether it’s sultry, playful, or something entirely unique, don’t hesitate to share your ideas with me. The more I know about what makes you feel your best, the better I can tailor the session to match your vision. Feel free to send any inspirational photos or ideas ahead of time, and we’ll make sure your session reflects your personality and style.
7. Trust the Process
One of the best things you can do to prepare for your CRAVE Session is to trust the process. You don’t need to worry about perfecting every pose or knowing exactly what to do. My job is to guide you, make sure the lighting is perfect, and bring out your inner beauty so that you can relax and enjoy the experience.
Remember, this session is about empowering you and showing you just how amazing you are. Trust that the magic will happen!
8. Focus on How You Want to Feel, Not How You Look
It’s easy to get caught up in thinking about how you’ll look in photos, but the real key to an incredible CRAVE Session is focusing on how you want to feel. Whether it’s confident, sexy, powerful, or playful, let those emotions guide you throughout the session. When you embrace how you want to feel, that energy will radiate in every photo—and trust me, the results will be stunning.
9. Have Fun!
This is your time to shine, so enjoy it! A CRAVE Session is a celebration of YOU, and the best part of any session is the fun, laughter, and confidence that comes out of it. Don’t be afraid to let loose, try new things, and fully immerse yourself in the experience. We’re going to create something beautiful together, and I promise you’ll walk away feeling empowered and glowing from the inside out.
