Sample Pre-Session Reflection Worksheet

This session is about you.

It's an invitation to reconnect with the version of yourself that often gets lost in the busyness of life-the woman who exists beyond "mom," beyond "roles," and beyond expectations.

This is a sample worksheet you can print or save to complete at your own pace. Before we meet, take a few moments to reflect on how you see yourself, or how you wish you could be seen. This isn't about who the world thinks you are-it's about how you want to feel.

My Chosen Words (2-3 words)

Choose words that feel true to who you are or who you're becoming.

Step 2: Reflect

1. What made you choose these words?

2. How do you want to feel during your session?

3. What do you hope to see or rediscover in your images?

Step 3: Prepare

Bring whatever helps you feel closest to those words - clothing, accessories, or even no clothing at all.

There's no "right" outfit. We'll begin with what feels safe and natural, and explore deeper layers only as you're comfortable.

What are you considering bringing or wearing?

Lingerie that makes you feel bold and confident

A dress or outfit that makes you feel beautiful

Something comfortable and real (favorite shirt, cozy clothes)

Simply yourself, as you are (nude or implied nude)

Many participants choose to be photographed without clothing to see their transformed bodies-stretch marks, curves, and changes-witnessed without judgment.

Something else entirely

Additional details about what you're planning to bring

Step 4: Optional Notes for Joshua

Is there anything you'd like me to know before your session?

This might include comfort levels, preferences, concerns, or anything else that feels important to share.
