What to Wear

I recommend bringing 3 complete outfits.

Think about wearing something light, something dark, and something colorful.

Fitted clothing photographs best.

Professional, casual, glamorous … all are possibilities!

A quick change can be wearing a blazer, and then taking it off and photographing the blouse.

View my Website, Instagram or Facebook for visual inspiration.

Day Of

Arrive to the studio with clean, moisturized skin, no make up.

Your hair should be clean and dry, lightly styled is fine.

Nails

Recommend a fresh mani/pedi before your session.

Neutral nail color ideal, but also stay true to your personality and style.

Spray Tans

Please no spray tans! 99% of the time they look orange on camera.

Cell Phone Pics

A few fun behind the scenes snaps are fun and encouraged, but please refrain from taking any pictures during the photo shoot. Thank you.

Posing: What to Expect

Some of the poses will feel weird or awkward. That means you are following my lead correctly … I promise it looks fabulous on camera!
