Choose Your Outfits Etc.
- Pick outfits that match the session's style and location
- Avoid overly bright colors (red, purple, orange), busy patterns (stripes, plaid, polka dots etc.), or logos on clothing
- Coordinate colors with family/group members. I highly suggest looking on Pinterest for a color palette
- Check and keep an eye on weather for your session date and time. Please dress children weather appropriate.
- Keep makeup natural but slightly enhanced for the camera.
- Please no splotchy spray tans
- Ensure nails are clean, or fresh manicure
- Please no temporary tattoos, marker etc.
- Recommend dressing children right before your session to avoid stains or messes
- High school seniors: your session includes multiple outfit changes. Typically, seniors bring 3 outfits. Feel free to reach out if you need any advice or need help deciding

Other Tips
- Get plenty of rest the night before
- Drink plenty of water
- Eat before your session so you aren't hangry
- For little ones: bring snacks that won't stain clothes, toys. Schedule the session around nap times. Unfortunately, due to lighting during summer months my sessions either need to be early morning or later in the evening
- For pets: bring treats, a leash and color that go with your planned outfits, neutral is best
- Avoid last minute stress, deep breaths!
- Trust me and have fun!
- Arrive to your session with a positive attitude, negativity will show in your photos
