Your step-by-step guide to your portrait session
Thank you for choosing to work with us. We are so excited to get started on your portrait session.
We want to make this experience helpful and stress-free so we have created a step-by-step guide to plan your perfect portrait session. Simply follow each step below to get started.
Step one
When selecting a location for your portrait session consider the season and style of images you want. Beach images during the winter months will look very different than beach images during the summer. There is no right or wrong; just be mindful of what type of images you want to have.

Step two
What kind of style fits your personality? Look for pallets and tones in these popular styles.
Step three
Getting ready for your portrait session doesn't need to be stressful. Here are some simple tips to have a stress-free and fun portrait session.
Select an outfit that makes you feel confident and beautiful. When it comes to your portraits, your attitude will shine through. When you feel comfortable in your own skin, the other style details will easily fall into place.
So don't get overly stressed about your outfit selection. Trust your intuition and choose what makes you feel like you! Here are some general tips for getting ready:
If you're hiring a hair & makeup artist for your wedding then consider doing a trial run for your engagement session. This is a great opportunity to test a specific style of makeup or hairstyle preference.
If you're like most guys, having your photo taken is not your idea of a perfect day. Being comfortable and confident will help alleviate all of your doubts and insecurities.
Make sure your clothes fit well and are wrinkle free. Choose neutral tones and avoid busy patterns. When you feel relaxed and confident in your own skin your personality will shine through.
Step three
Personalizing your session is how you make your images feel unique to you. We welcome and encourage you to bring items and props that feel like you. If you're not sure what to bring just ask, we can provide some ideas.
Do you have a furry pet that feels like family? Feel free to bring your pets along to your portrait session.
Please note: some locations work better for pets. Please notify us that you will bring your animal so we can pick an appropriate session location.
Are you the snuggle up and get cozy type? Bring your favorite blankets and comfort items with you. Cuddling up next to each other with your favorite items will put you both at ease and make for some amazing photos.
Let the sparks fly! Consider bringing fun props to your portrait session. Sparklers, bubbles, ice cream...whatever your ideas are we welcome them!
Let us know what your prop ideas are so that I can prepare a plan to photograph them.
Step four
