I'm here to guide and support you, so let's seize this opportunity to improve and excel in your photoshoots. Together, we can make progress every day.
How it Works
Clarity questionnaire: Before starting, I'll provide questions for you to answer to get to know you better, maximizing our time and ensuring a quick start.
30-minute video call: We delve into the good stuff immediately! Based on your answers, I'll learn about you, enabling me to offer optimal support. For example: Do you lick your lips? Do you sweat a lot? Do you shake? Do you tap your foot? Do you get red easily? Does your skin get blotchy? I'll share my experience as we discover your best and easiest poses, so you'll feel relaxed and ready for the photoshoot.
Photoshoot: I'll stand by your side, physically guiding you through movements, recognizing that following a photographer's direction can be challenging. I'll focus on personalized aspects, dedicated to your needs. Think of it like having a yoga teacher assist with your poses. It's clear, concise, and efficient.
Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” So, to be successful you need to be willing to fail hard and then bounce right back.
Taking action turns your worry and concern about failure into positive, focused energy. You learn from failure and use it to better yourself. You don’t let failure discourage you from pursuing important objectives because in the end, everyone makes mistakes. It’s what you do with your mistakes that really matters.
That’s why I’m here for you!
Together we can make things happen!
FAQ
If I already have a photographer who can provide posing guidance, why do I need your assistance?

Yes, I'll be here to provide guidance and support for the photo session, including video shoots, ensuring that every moment is captured beautifully.
What if we don’t speak the same language?
Don't worry! Posing is a universal language of movements, so language barriers won't be an issue. I'll make sure to maximize my technique by physically showing and guiding you, similar to how a yoga teacher would, to help you achieve the best possible poses.
Do I need to organize transportation for you to the studio?
If the photo session is in Miami or New York, I'll be coming by myself. However, if the photo session is elsewhere, I would require transportation provided at your expense.
