When Privacy Is Everything: A Secret Session for a Public Figure

So, here’s the thing about being a photographer for Secret Sessions: sometimes I get to work with people who really, really value their privacy. Like, "sign this NDA before we even start talking details" kind of private. And honestly? I love it. Privacy is baked into everything I do, but when a public figure reached out for a session, I knew we were about to take discretion to a whole new level.

The First Email

It started with an email that was short, sweet, and to the point. No name, no specifics—just a note saying, “I’m a public figure, and I’m interested in booking a private session. Would you be willing to sign an NDA?” Of course, my answer was a resounding yes. (Pro tip: If privacy is your thing, NDAs are always on the table here.)

After a few more emails and some cryptic but polite scheduling, we locked in a date.

The Session

The shoot itself was all about creating a safe, relaxed vibe—which is pretty much my whole philosophy anyway.

The goal? To capture intimate, elegant portraits that felt personal but never overexposed. She wanted to celebrate herself in a way that wasn’t for the public eye—no Instagram posts, no magazine spreads, just timeless images for her eyes (and maybe a trusted few) only.

The Privacy Factor

After the shoot, we went through her photos together—on-site. She selected her favorites, we framed a few and added the rest to a photo album. No cloud uploads, no online galleries. She even opted for having the images scanned on-site onto a USB, which she quickly locked away.

This level of privacy isn’t just for public figures. It’s for anyone who wants to keep their memories truly personal. Whether you’re a celebrity, a CEO, or just someone who loves the idea of total discretion, I’ve got you covered.

Why This Matters

In a world where everything seems to live online, there’s something so refreshing about keeping certain moments just for yourself. No hashtags, no captions, no likes—just beautiful, meaningful photos that exist outside the digital noise. That’s the heart of what I do with Secret Sessions.

P.s. I okay’d this blog post with the client before posting! I wanted to make sure it didn’t feel intrusive- and she was fine with it (even though I don’t post anything to potentially reveal who this post was about, I still value their autonomy!)
