WHAT TO EXPECT

BEFORE
About a week before your session, I will send you an email with directions for how to get to your session location and where we will meet. You’ll also receive a reminders about your session, as the date gets closer. If you have any questions leading up toyour session, feel free to reach out!

DURING
During our time together, you can expect high energy, lots of funny noises, and probably some squeels as I snap photos! I will pose you and tell you what to do with your hands, so you won’t have to worry about any of that. I take LOTS of photos to make sure I get the great shots we need, so you’ll hear my shutter snapping pretty rapidly. I also love to capture candid moments in between!

AFTER
You can expect your photos to be sent to you in an online gallery via email about 2-3 weeks after your session. You’ll be able to download your high-resolution images straight from your gallery. Then the best part begins – sharing your beautiful images with friends and family!

STYLING TIPS FOR the family

DRESS IT UP!
Wear outfits appropriate for the occasion. Dressy photos always standout amongst those who go the more ‘too casual’ route, and they are so captivating to see. You’ll be sure to get compliments when your outfits vibe really well with the overall look of the occasion.

AVOID “MATCHY-MATCHY”
Although it may be tempting to dress everyone up in the same plaid print or in that white t-shirt and jeans, photos really look stunning when there is nice coordination without overly matching. I typically suggest dressing no more than two people up in the same print or color. This helps to balance out your photos so the attention is drawn to YOU!

PICK 2 OR 3 COLORS
Instead of having everyone wear the same color, try picking two or three colors that blend well together and coordinate that way! Try experimenting with different shades of colors, or adding different prints or fabrics to the mix.

STYLING TIPS FOR her

GO FOR THE DRESS
I always encourage women to considergoing for a more dressy look over a casualone. Dresses and skirts are great for portrait sessions because they’re flattering for anybody type! Long and flowey dresses and skirts always photograph well and help add some dimension and flow to your photos. Chiffon or tulle are excellent fabrics for this look. Don’t forget, heels help you look a little longer and add a nice flattering touch!
STATEMENT ACCESSORIES
Once you have the dress picked, don’t forget about accessorizing! Adding a statement necklace or earrings will help complete your look, and add a little flair and pop to your photos.
TREAT YOURSELF
This is a great time to treat yourself and go pro! Pamper yourself by getting your nails, hair, and makeup done professionally. It makes you feel beautiful, and it looks stunning on camera!

STYLING TIPS FOR him

KEEP IT DRESSY
We can’t forget about our men! I always suggest dressing the men up to match their lady. Fitted dress pants or slacks and close-toed shoes are the perfect combination for men. For your session, it’s best to leave the shorts, sandals, and loose-fitting pants at home.
BRING IN LAYERS
Layers on men like blazers, sweaters, orvests always photograph really well (even if it’s hot outside). They add some nice dimension, and look nice and sleek. I know it may be a little uncomfortable, but I PROMISE it will be worth it when you see the final product!
DON’T FORGET DETAILS
Yes, even men can add in some details to their otufits!
Ties or bowties, colored socks, suspenders, and watches are nice compliments to any outfit for men. Although small, they add great pops of class to your photos.

STYLING TIPS FOR THEM

DRESSY OVER CASUAL
I always suggest dressing the little ones in something more dressy instead of their casual play wear. Dressy clothes, even on kids, will automatically make your photos standout! Some great places to look for unique, beautiful outfits are ModerneChild or Etsy! Remember, there is nosuch thing as “too dressed up” for your portrait session, so have some fun!

THINK LIKE ADULTS
I know they may be little, but many of the tips For Her and For Him still apply to the kids. (They’re basically little adults anyway,
right?) For the girls, dresses and accessories are perfect! Maybe add a fun flower crown or bow for an extra pop of beautiful. For the boys, layers are adorable! And don’t forget about the cute details like suspenders or a fun bowtie!
