I believe that the most crucial aspect of a photo session is the preparation. This involves finding inspiration, creating mood boards, and discussing the project with the client. However, there are also unexpected moments that can arise during a shoot, and I embrace these to infuse randomness and uniqueness into the session.

Such unexpected occurrences are rare but truly enhance the session. I'd say it's these unanticipated moments - the ones you can't plan for - that make each photo session special.
