What to Expect
It can be quite a daunting task.
From figuring out what to wear, how to prepare, and what to bring, but don't worry!
That's what I'm here for! Below you'll find a detailed map of what to expect from booking all the way to the final delivery of your product.
6 Steps to Memories that will Last a Lifetime
1. Book Your Session
Pick a date and what type of session you're looking for. Your next steps will be based on the specific session type you choose.
When booking your session, make sure you choose a day that allows enough time for you to prepare and be sure to leave a little extra time in case we need it.
2. Choose Outfits
Depending on your session type, you may want to incorporate specific outfits. For example, if you chose a maternity session, you may want to pick a pretty dress that shows off that bump and a color-coordinated outfit for anyone else being photographed with you. Choosing colors is all about you. If you need help, ask, I'm here for you!
3. Choose Props
Some sessions don't need props, but some are all the better with them. For example, maybe you're looking for a boudoir shoot and want to gift the photos to your special someone. Using items like uniforms, hats, sexy toys, or even specific jewelry or accessories is often a great option!
4. Choose A Location
Whether it be a location that means a lot to you or just a pretty place you've been. Choosing a location isn't as complicated as it sounds. It could be your backyard, a public park, a state forest, or even that pretty coffee shop!
When choosing a location, consider lighting, scenery, and crowdiness. If you need ideas, I have options!
5. Makeup & Hair
We offer makeup services as an add-on for all session types, even events!
Just bring your foundation!
Getting your hair styled before your session is recommended, but basic, simple hairstyling can be done if needed.
6. Preperation
No matter what session you choose its always a good idea to keep the following inmind:
a. Avoid extensive sun exposure or burns.
b. Stay hydrated- it helps your skin glow!
c. Rest and sleep well to avoid tired eyes.
d. Unless positive, avoid sudden beauty changes like haircuts or botox.
During Your Session
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a little shy in front of the camera, I'll guide you every step of the way.
I will direct and demonstrate posing, touch up makeup, adjust jewelry, and address the wardrobe malfunctions (clothes pins are life-savers!)
I will also choose specific spots at your location that would make a great shot, but feel free to make requests!
In the allotted time for your session, you'll be surprised just how many images can be captured, but if you have any specific poses or ideas, please feel free to bring screenshots or share them before your session.
Are you ready?
