Colors and Clothing

  • Solid complementary colors - avoid too much pattern and neon colors.

  • Earth tones always are your best bet.

  • Accessories like hats, scarves, jewelry, anything that says “this is who I am” is always welcome to make your session more personal.

    Grooming

  • Hair cuts should be done at least 2 weeks prior to your session. This will give it time to look it’s best.

  • Hands will be in the photos, make sure they are clean and well groomed. Nail polish should be complementary to outfits and not too “loud”.

    Glasses

  • Glasses do cause glare. Removing the lenses is an option. Not wearing them is another option. If neither of those options are suitable I will do my best to avoid glare.

  • Transition lenses are impossible to avoid. Bring a spare pair without transition otherwise they will need to be removed.

    Children

  • I suggest no more than 2 outfits. Children get frustrated and antsy with too many outfit changes.

  • Bring a favorite toy to incorporate into some of the photos.

  • Limit the amount of people coming to the session, 1 or 2 at the most. Too many people are very distracting for the child.

  • Don’t forget your comb for hair.

    Pets

  • Bring treats along to help get your pet to sit and stay.

  • Let me know key words to get them to look and perk up their ears.

  • Limit the amount of people at the session; too many are very distracting. 1 or 2 should do.

  • Dogs must be on leash at my studio and public locations.
