Helpful Tips

Preparing for a photo session does not need be a stressful event. With a few minutes of careful planning, we can make the most of our time.

Preparation checklist:

If you want, bring a photo or magazine of something you like.
Consider your ideal location. If you can't think of any, ask me. I have plenty!
Clothes - you don't have to directly match. As long as everyone is within the same color palette everything should look great.
I know it may be difficult, but let the photographer take charge.
If you have an idea, share it! I love ideas and brainstorming.
Have fun!

With children:

Don't let them know they are going to get their picture taken! Tell them you are taking them to do something fun.
Don't teach them to smile on command. My goal is to capture their natural expression and smiles that come naturally are the best.
Bribery is okay with me!

With pets:

Bring their favorite toys.
Dressing them up is your call!
Have a favorite location? Tell me.
Props - Have a favorite blanket or toy? Bring them! I want to make this portrait personal and let your pet's personality shine.
PATIENCE - with your pet and me. I'm working toward the perfect shot.

With models:

Bring mulitple outfits, if desired. It'll give both of us more to work with.
I am no makeup artist or hairstylist - please come prepared, primped, & pretty.
Practice some poses in a mirror - don't forget to be natural!
If you have an idea of what you are wanting, or a theme, let me know so we can work on it together. I'm open to pretty much anything.
