As your trusted Sarasota Family Photographer, I’m here to spill some pre-session secrets that will make your photoshoot experience even more magical. Today, let’s dive into the world of mirror work and why it’s a game-changer for capturing your authentic beauty.
Mirror work? Yup, you heard me right.
It might sound like something out of a self-help book, but trust me, it’s a golden ticket to rocking your session. In fact, it's listed right there in my pre-session prep guide, and for good reason!
So, why do I, your Sarasota Family Photographer, advocate for mirror work, especially for all you amazing moms and women out there? Well, picture this: You’re gearing up for your photoshoot, feeling a mix of excitement and maybe a touch of nerves. You glance in the mirror and suddenly, instead of critiquing every flaw, you see the incredible woman staring back at you.
That’s the magic of mirror work, my friends. It’s not about vanity or perfection; it’s about cultivating self-love and embracing your unique beauty. And let me tell you, when you step in front of my lens with that confidence shining through, it’s pure gold for capturing stunning, authentic portraits.
Here’s the deal: as your Sarasota Family Photographer, I’m not just here to snap pretty pictures. I’m here to capture the essence of who you are—the love, the laughter, the quirks that make your family unique. And guess what? Mirror work is like a supercharged booster for bringing out those genuine moments.
Think of it as a little pre-session pep talk with yourself.
Take a moment to stand in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and celebrate all that makes you, well, you! Appreciate the lines that tell the stories of laughter shared with your loved ones, the sparkle in your eyes that lights up when you talk about your family, and the strength that shines through in every smile.
Some examples of the affirmations I say to myself (yup, giving you a quick glimpse because I would never suggest something I don’t personally do!)

My smile radiates joy
I look at myself and see beauty
