Helpful tips for planning a successful portrait session.
1. Wear something you’re comfortable in. You’ve probably read some form of this tip before, but it really is the most important thing. If you choose clothes that are too tight or clingy, you’ll spend your whole session picking at them or covering up. If you choose something you’ve never worn before, you’ll be worried about how you look in it or may discover it’s actually terribly uncomfortable, which can come across in your photos. Choose outfits that make you feel like a million dollars! If you purchase something new, wear it some before your session to see how you feel about it. As much as you consider how your outfits make you feel, think also about how they’ll photograph during your session. If you are going to do multiple outfits please keep it to a maximum of two outfits.
2. Speaking of what you wear, please be sure to steam or iron your outfits before your session. If you show up to iron and steam your outfits during your session that will be time spent taking away from your picture-taking time.
3. If you’ve never done makeup for photos or you aren’t really sure what to do with your hair, you may want to book with a professional hair and/or makeup artist for your shoot. Photos require slightly more saturated makeup than your everyday look so that you don’t become washed out. If you don't have a hair and makeup professional that you are used to working with, you may want to check out my preferred vendors' list for trusted professionals in my area.
4. Do not use makeup with SPF during a photoshoot! It will have a unflattering results during a photography session when flash equipment is needed to be used.
5. Yes, you can bring your own accessories, props, and pets to your session. Just give me a heads up when scheduling or before your sessions on what you are planning to bring. Please bring someone along to watch the pets when we are shooting just you.
