Preparing for Your Portrait Session

I want you to feel comfortable and confident at your portrait session. Here are a few tips to help you prepare for your session:

1. Wear clothing that you feel comfortable and confident in while reflecting your personal style.

2. Think about the location and theme of your session, and opt for outfits that will complement the setting, but not blend into it.

3. Get plenty of rest the night before your session and try to plan an easy day prior to our session.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me!

Don't forget, part of our planning for your session, is outfit selection. You can always give me a call/text and we can discuss your options, or I can make shopping suggestions from portrait perfect retailers.

During Your Portrait Session

During your portrait session, our focus is on capturing your personality and beauty. We will guide you through the process, helping you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We believe that the best portraits are those that capture genuine emotion and connection, so we'll encourage you to interact naturally with your surroundings and with the people you love. Our sessions are designed to be fun and enjoyable, so don't be afraid to laugh, dance, or be silly! We want to create images that truly reflect your personality and spirit.
