LADIES & GIRLS

Ladies Clothing:
Remember, you have access to my client closet, which includes a variety of beautiful dresses ranging from size 0 to 18. However, you’re always welcome to bring your own pieces if there’s something special you’d like to wear.

The right clothing can make a big difference in the final look of your images. For a timeless and elegant feel, opt for solid colors or subtle patterns. Neutral and earth tones always photograph beautifully and never go out of style. If you’d like a pop of color, I recommend deep, rich jewel tones for a bold yet sophisticated touch.

MEN & BOYS

Mens Clothing:
Men and boys are the easiest to style! I highly recommend a tailored suit or a simple white, long-sleeved button-down shirt with dark dress slacks. This look is classic, timeless, and complements any setting.

For added variation, consider incorporating suspenders, a bowtie, or a vest to elevate the style.

Ladies: If you’ve already chosen your dress color, select a complementary color for the men in your life to create a beautifully cohesive look in your photos.

The Basics to Bring:
LADIES / GIRLS

• Bring Skin-Tone Panties/Bras
  (loose fit to avoid red lines/indentions on skin. Match as close to skin tone.)

• Bring Skin-Tone Slip
  (not required but some of my dresses are sheer, keep this in mind when shooting outside. Panties and bra are fine if you are okay with it.)

• Spaghetti Strap White Tank Top

• Easy on/off shoes.

The Basics to Bring:
MEN / BOYS

• White Button Down Collar Shirt.

• Dark Dress Slacks/Chinos

• Dark Jeans

• Easy on/off shoes.

• Layers.
  (fall/winter, think vests, pullovers, etc.)

PREP & SCHEDULE

• Hair & Makeup: Professional hair and makeup is always recommended to help you look and feel your best. I recommend scheduling your appointment for a few hours before your session.

• Nails: A clean and polished look is best. Please ensure your nails are well-groomed before your session. If painted, choose neutral, natural-toned colors and make sure there are no chips or imperfections."

• False Eyelashes: If you wear false lashes or get extensions, opt for a natural, subtle look rather than dramatic or overly thick styles for the best results in photos.

• Rest & Hydrate: Make sure your drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Water flushes toxins from your body, making your skin look more healthy and also helps shed extra water weight. It is also a good idea to avoid alcoholic beverages at least 3 days prior to your shoot if you can. Also be sure to get a good nights rest before you shoot!

• Protect: While some ladies prefer tanned skin, it is important not to be exposed to direct sunlight in the weeks leading up to your session. Not only does this cause sunburn but also increases the chance of suntan lines. If you must be in direct sunlight, please limit your exposure and protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen. Spray tans are not recommended. If you do get an airbrush tan, get one very light and protect the bottom of your feet from solution.

• Groom: If you plan on having grooming services done, please do them at least 3 days before your session. This ensure that all red bumps or reactions are at a minimum. If you plan on having your hair cut, dyed, or bleached, please make sure this is done 2 weeks in advance so you have time to repair any mistakes.

SESSION DAY

• Session Day Outfit: We recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing (especially bra and panties!) to your session to avoid any lines or indentations on your skin. Tight clothing can create uneven coloring and make it difficult to edit. Additionally, please avoid any restrictive clothing or accessories that may leave marks on your skin. Loose, flowy dresses or tops paired with comfortable leggings are a great option.

• Arrival: Please be sure to arrive at your session no earlier or later than your scheduled time. It is important to make sure you are on time so the day moves smoothly and that your session is not cut short due to tardiness. I prefer my clients to be relaxed and not worried about time, so please know the importance of showing up on time.

• Guests: You are welcome to bring guests to your session! For outdoor sessions, they’re welcome to join as long as they do not interrupt the session. For studio sessions, due to limited space, guests are not allowed inside but may wait in the car.

• Timeline: My sessions do not have a strict time limit (unless otherwise stated), allowing for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. On average, sessions typically last between 1 to 2.5 hours.

• After the Session: Once your session is complete, I will fully edit one image from your gallery as a preview of what you can expect. This image will be ready within 48 hours. After that, we’ll schedule a Image Reveal —either in person or online via Google Meet—where you can review all your images. During this time, you’ll select your favorites, and we’ll discuss the editing process to ensure your images look absolutely magical. If you have any specific requests, this is the perfect time to share them!
