SESSION DAY TIPS

• HYDRATE AND DON’T FORGET TO EAT THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION

• BE EARLY TO YOUR SESSION LOCATION (IN ORDER TO AVOID A LATE START TIME OR INCASE OF TRAFFIC ETC)

• DON’T SHAVE YOUR FACE/get waxed ON THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION (DO IT THE DAY BEFORE INCASE YOU CUT YOURSELF OR TO AVOID RAZOR BURN)

• IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN THE SUN BEFORE YOUR SESSION MAKE SURE YOU WEAR SUNSCREEN TO AVOID BEING BURNT FOR PHOTOS

• TRY TO HAVE ONE FORMAL OUTFIT AND ONE CASUAL

• TRUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!

  • THERES NO NEED TO STRESS ABOUT POSES/IDEAS I’VE GOT YOU. I GIVE TOTAL DIRECTION DURING THE SHOOT AND MAKE SURE WE GET ALL THE GOOD SHOTS.

  • I CHOOSE SESSION TIMES BASED ON THE BEST LIGHTING and I ONLY do sessions in the evening because I’ve got 2 little boys at home that need me in the mornings.

  • IF WE HAVE TO RESCHEDULE DUE TO WEATHER I PROMISE IT’S BECAUSE I HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND. MY SHOOTING STYLE WORKS BEST WITH A SUNNY DAY SO I DO ALL I CAN TO INSURE YOU HAVE THE BEST PHOTO OUTCOME.

• HAVE FUN! THis session is GOING TO BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

OUTFIT TIPS

So many seniors message me and want me to tell them exactly what to wear. But, that is something I can’t really do. Since my sessions don’t involve crazy props or all that extra stuff, I prefer to focus on your personality and a lot of that comes from the outfits you choose for your session.

I can give you a few tips to help you avoid malfunctions + things like that but I can’t tell you exactly what you should wear. That is up to YOU and your style!

Please feel free to message me photos of your outfits once you start getting them together and I can help you choose + coordinate from there!

• WEAR FLATTERING CLOTHING SHAPES, WEAR THINGS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE + CONFIDENT IN.

• EXAMPLE: IF YOU ARE SELF CONSCIOUS OF YOUR ARMS, DON’T WEAR SLEEVELESS OUTFITS

• AVOID NEON

• WEAR NUDE COLOR UNDERGARMENTS (NO, I CAN’T “JUST PHOTOSHOP IT OUT” HAH)

• EXPRESS YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE. EDGY, SOFT, SLEEK, SWEET, JUST BE YOU.

• CHOOSE AT LEAST ONE “FORMAL/DRESSY” OUTFIT AND ONE “CASUAL” OUTFIT

• DON’T FORGET YOUR CLASS RING + SENIOR JACKET/SWEATER

• DON’T FORGET YOUR ACCESSORIES!

• CONSIDER GETTING YOUR MAKEUP + HAIR PROFESSIONALLY DONE (IF THAT’S YOUR STYLE) IT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WEATHER

SO WE HAVE A CERTAIN PREFERENCE FOR HOW WE LIKE THE WEATHER TO BE FOR SESSIONS IN ORDER TO HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR YOUR PHOTOS. PERSONALLY, I PREFER A BRIGHT, SUNNY DAY BECAUSE THAT PROVIDES THE BEST RESULTS FOR OUR PERSONAL SHOOTING STYLE. BECAUSE THESE PHOTOS ARE A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR YOU GUYS (BOTH FINANCIALLY AND IMPORTANCE-WISE) I AM NOT AFRAID OF RESCHEDULING IF IT MEANS YOUR PHOTOS WILL TURN OUT BETTER. TRUST ME, IF I SUGGEST A CERTAIN TIME OR A DIFFERENT DAY IT IS BECAUSE IT TRULY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PHOTOS.

FOR EXAMPLE : THIS IS THE SAME COUPLE, SAME POSES, AND SAME LOCATION BUT ONE DAY WAS CLOUDY/RAINY AND THE OTHER WAS PERFECT WEATHER.

THE WEATHER/LIGHTING EFFECTS HOW THE COLOR IN YOUR PHOTOS TURN OUT.

CLOUDY DAY
