A: Nudity is certainly not necessary and I will not push you to go further than you feel comfortable with. Sexy isn't always about how much you show, it's all about how you show it! Most men feel that leaving something to the imagination is much sexier than baring it all.

{Helpful tips}
Drink lots of water the week before your shoot. It helps your skin stay moisturized.
Spend some time on pinterest and see what types of outfits/images are out there.
Put together a Sexy music play list. You can use some songs that will get you in a sexy mood. Some songs that you and your man enjoy together. Songs to loosen you up. Nice slow romantic music is wonderful as well. If you are a Bride to be consider using music you be playing at your wedding. I have a nice mix available as well.
Make sure to wear loose fitting clothing an hour prior and on the way to the shoot. Tight clothes, like bras, can create unwanted lines on your skin. Also, maybe wear a button or zip up shirt as to not disturb your hair.
shave/wax everything that needs it!
Go for the hair and make-up. My make-up artists are wonderful, and yes it makes a huge difference. Besides getting more time to come and relax before your session, they know what kind of make-up looks good in photographs.
Think about your nails. If you have polish, make sure that it looks nice and isn’t chipped. In general, I think that more subtle looks are better; french, light pink, or nude.
Give yourself some time before the shoot; take a hot bath, pamper yourself, let yourself become the calm, confident goddess you are.
Please make sure to COMMUNICATE! This shoot is all about you and the most important thing is that you are comfortable and having a good time.
Don’t forget to also bring other props and items such as stockings, jewelry, or props you might want to use during the shoot and be creative when choosing outfits. Even something as simple as a cardigan can be beautiful!
Please don’t worry too much. We’re going to have a fun time and create beautiful images together.
