Recommendation DOs

Getting plenty of rest the night before your Session and drinking water will help keep you hydrated and looking your best!

Consider having your Hair & Make-Up Professionally done right before, it is a great idea!  Be sure to bring touch up make up & brush.  I maybe offering this service in the future.

Keep those rubber bands from around your wrist during your session- have mom hold

Consider wearing colors that look best on you!  Rich jewel tones, black, white, tan, beige or grey look best!  Bring something all black & all white- this always rocks! Solid color is Best and you can always add accessories like a hat, scarf, earrings, necklace, jacket etc Patterns that are busy, such as florals, plaid, crazy stripes do not always photograph well. Pinterest is a great place to look at clothing ideas. 

Be sure to iron/steam your clothes so you look your best!

Wear clothes that fit comfortably, form fitting is good...super duper tight is not always good.

Fitted clothes look better than huge draping clothes when posing and shorty shorts, while cute for pictures are not the best.  With some posing it will make you look like you have no pants on! 

Bring several clothing changes/looks for variety!  I would be happy to assist you with styling.  I would suggest maybe 1-2 dressy looks & 1-3 casual & simple looks.  If you would like to have a photograph in an awesome gown/dress or tux- you can always rent it!  Bring something black

Your nails.  Be conscious of how your nails look because they will show in some of your images.  Even if they are clean and painted with a clear top coat can look very nice ladies.

Rock out your Session with something cool,  a prom dress, a rockin' car or truck etc- I am up for any unique ideas you may have!  We can discuss during your pre-session consultation call.

A parent/guardian must attend the session with you.  You're welcome to bring a friend that makes you laugh!  

Bring things that are important to you now... instruments, sports stuff, pet, prom dress, car/truck, music/head phones etc- we can discuss during your pre session consultation. 

Yes, I handle retouching to make you look your best!

No worries- we will have fun!

 

Recommendation DONTs (please avoid these things if possible)

Over tanning OR fake tanning just before your Session, tends too give you orangey skin tone, does not photograph well.

Getting your haircut just before your Session. Give several days to a week to grow out enough to look more like you.

Wearing glitter make up, does not photograph well.  It can look like little white specs on your face from the light.

Wearing neon colors, this reflects onto the skin of your face and does not photograph well

Wearing clothes that are *super duper* tight, this tends to look unflattering.  Showing too much skin (like shorty shorts & half shirts) are not recommended. If you worry about how your bare arms look then I would suggest tops or jackets with sleeves.

Please do not bring a dog that can act aggressive or very nervous. Yes, I have been bit before.  : 0 

Please do not come hungry, You can always bring a snack or pop if you need.  A Session usually lasts about 2+ hours.

Looking forward to meeting you and creating some beautiful images!
