what to expect

Before the day of your session, we will agree on where and what time to meet.

During your session, I'll offer guidance and suggest interactive prompts to ensure a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for you or group.

We will use natural light or a blend of natural light and studio lights if necessary.


  • When planning your outfit, think about where will your images be used. If appropriate, I encourage you to embrace color. Think vibrant and bold shades, while steering clear of fluorescent hues. For group sessions, having some members wear rich, "pop" colors can add a unique touch to your photographs.

  • I generally recommend avoiding pure white, as it can sometimes be too stark (unless you are intentionally going for a high-contrast aesthetic). Ivory or beige tones tend to photograph more softly and beautifully.

  • Patterns can work well, provided they aren't too overwhelming. Please avoid clothing with prominent words or logos, as these can be distracting in the final images.

  • A helpful tip is to lay out all your chosen outfits together on a flat surface before your session and take a quick photo of the outfit with your phone. This will give you a good visual of how everything looks together.

  • The best clothing choices are those in which you feel comfortable and confident. Be sure to pay attention to how well the clothes fit you.

  • Accessories can inject extra personality into your images. Just ensure they complement your outfit.

  • If children are part of your session, consider involving them in the process of selecting their outfits. This can often build their excitement for the photoshoot.
