Ready, Set, Smile!
We're so excited to capture these special moments with you! To ensure you have the best possible experience, we've put together some tips and tricks to help you prepare for your session. Let's make sure everything goes smoothly and you get the photos of your dreams!
Your outfit choice can really elevate your photos! Here are a few tips to help:
• Coordinate, Don’t Match: Choose outfits that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy. A mix of textures and layers adds interest and depth.
• Neutral and Soft Colors: Neutral tones, like creams, soft pinks, and earthy hues, work beautifully and ensure the focus stays on you, not your clothes. Avoid overly bright or neon colors.
• Comfort is Key: Make sure everyone feels comfortable in what they're wearing. If you’re uncomfortable, it will show in the photos. Plus, you’ll have more fun!
• Footwear: Choose shoes that fit the location of your shoot. For outdoor sessions, consider something sturdy but stylish. For indoor shoots, dressy shoes or even barefoot (depending on the vibe) can work perfectly.
Layers & Accessories: Scarves, hats, and jackets are great ways to add personality and depth to your look. Just make sure they don’t overwhelm the photo.
If you’re bringing young kids or pets along:
• Snacks & Toys: Bring some snacks and small toys to keep them entertained during breaks. They’ll also be more relaxed for the session!
• Rest Before the Shoot: A well-rested little one will have more energy and be more cooperative, so try to schedule your session around nap times if possible.
• Pets: If you’re bringing a pet, make sure they’re familiar with being in public places or around people. And remember, pets can be unpredictable, so we’ll roll with whatever happens!
Arriving 10-15 minutes before your session gives you time to settle in and get comfortable. It’ll also ensure we don’t lose any precious moments of natural light if we’re shooting outdoors.
This isn’t just about posing – it’s about capturing the real, joyful moments between you and your loved ones! Don’t stress about looking perfect; instead, focus on having fun and being yourself. We’ll guide you every step of the way, so just enjoy the experience.
• Natural Look: For hair and makeup, we recommend going for a natural look that enhances your features. If you typically wear makeup, feel free to apply it a little more than usual, but still stay true to your style.
• Flyaways & Frizz: If you have long hair, make sure it’s styled in a way that works with the session's location. Consider using hairspray or a smoothing serum to keep flyaways in check.
• Touch-Ups: Bring along a few makeup essentials (powder, lipstick, etc.) for touch-ups if needed.
If you're doing a session with significant items (like a sentimental piece of jewelry, family heirloom, or special props), don’t forget to bring them along! These small details can add so much meaning to your photos.
We've got your back! If you're nervous, don’t worry. It’s natural, but we’ll guide you through every moment. Trust the process, and the beautiful photos will follow. Feel free to ask us any questions before or during the shoot. We’re here to help!
Finally, the most important tip: relax, have fun, and enjoy the process. The best photos happen when you’re being yourself, so let go of any stress and enjoy the moment. We’re here to capture those beautiful memories!
