Portrait Session Tips
I. Your locations
Have a couple of suitable locations in your area in mind for your session. Consider the time of year and have an indoor location as a backup. Remember, you know the setting you want for your story. We are always happy to make location recommendations.
II. What to wear
Plan your outfits and ensure they complement each other. Consider the background colors of your location(s) and how they will look at the time of the year of your session. You want to stand out from the background, not completely blend into it. If you would like, you can also bring special items to use as a prop in your session.
Be creative and let's have fun!
III. Practice Posing
It may sound a bit silly, but practice posing in front of a mirror before your session. This way you are more comfortable in front of the camera and know your "best side" for the session.
Yes, you should practice smiling.
IV. Communicate
Communicate with me at any time about your preferences and any specific ideas you have in mind.
Don't be shy, this is your story!
