Getting proffesional photos is exciting, but I know it can also feel a little overwhelming to prepare for. Don't worry, I'm here to help you out! Here are some tips to make sure your session goes smoothly and you love your photos.

COUPLES & ENGAGEMENT SESSION PREP GUIDE


  1. Wardrobe Choices - Pick outfits that feel like you but will photograph well. Neutrals, soft colors, and textures work beautifully. Skip logos or neon colors that distract.
  2. Location Vibes - Choose a spot that’s meaningful - whether it’s a favorite date location, a scenic outdoor spot, or somewhere you’ve always wanted to explore together.
  3. Connection Over Perfection - Forget about posing perfectly, we will guide you. Focus on each other. Laugh, hug, walk hand-in-hand, that’s where the magic is.
  4. Timing - Golden hour (sunrise or sunset) = dreamy light and soft tones.


Family Session Prep Guide


  1. Outfits Made Simple - Pick a palette (like earthy tones or neutrals with a pop of color) and coordinate. Comfort is key, especially for kids. If you're planning holiday photos, don't be afraid to add festive touches like deep red, greens, or cozy textures. If matching outfits are your thing (holiday sweaters, pajamas, or coordinated shirts), go for it! The key is that everyone feels comfortable and has fun!
  2. Kid-Friendly Prep - A rested, fed kid is a happy kid! Bring water, snacks, or even a favorite toy. Wiggles are totally normal and part of the fun.
  3. Expect Movement - Be ready for tickles, hugs, and silly prompts. Those real smiles always win over stiff “say cheese” shots.
  4. Timing - We’ll plan for a time that works best for your kids’ energy - often mornings or golden hour.


Maternity Session Prep Guide


  1. What to Wear - Dresses that flow or outfits that highlight your bump always photograph beautifully. Neutrals and soft tones create timeless images. Bring an outfit change if you’d like variety.
  2. Pamper Yourself - This is your moment! Treat yourself to hair and makeup if it helps you feel extra confident. Bring comfy shoes for walking between spots.
  3. Timing - The sweet spot is usually between 28–34 weeks. Your bump is gorgeous, and you’ll still feel comfortable moving around.
  4. Include Loved Ones - Your partner, kids, or even pets can join in. They’re part of your story, too.


In conclusion, preparing for a photo session doesn't have to be stressful, it's all about planning ahead and focusing on matters most: connection, having fun, and capturing genuine moments. A few thoughtful prep steps will help you feel confident, relaxed, and ready to enjoy the experience. I can't wait to help you create beautiful memories that you and your loved ones will treasure forever.
