Where will the photo session take place?
Anywhere you want! While my favorite place is in the comfort of your own home and backyard, there are many places around town that offer beautiful backdrops that we can choose from. Do you and your fiance have a favorite bar? Do your kids love a certain park? Is there somewhere sentimental to your family? After booking your session, we can figure out a place that will allow us to capture the type of photographs you want.
What should I wear to our session?
First and foremost, be comfortable. Since I take a more natural approach to the session, you don't want to be walking around in shoes that hurt or clothes that don't quite fit properly.
Plain fabrics work best - especially dark colors. Don't wear anything with logos, writing or a crazy pattern or it will distract from the subject. Keep jewelry to a minimum, but funky, bold accessories are great! I love cowboy hats and boots, bright scarfs, socks and hats. I personally think colors photograph better than white and long sleeves tend to be more flattering that short sleeves.
Should my family match?
Absolutely not! While the "tone" of the outfits should coordinate, please don't show up with everyone in jeans and a black button down shirt. You wouldn't wear this on an average day and remember I am trying to capture this moment in time. Put your children in what they are used to wearing and then coordinate the rest of the family in tones that work well together. I am happy to suggest options with you.
What size can I print the images?
I will give you the full high resolution photo, so feel free to blow that sucker up big!
What will our session be like?
FUN! I want to be your friend and really get a feel for who you are so we create a relaxed atmosphere. Get them excited with comments like "We're going to go play with my friend Nicole tomorrow and she's going to take some pictures and it will be so fun."
What is the best time to take pictures?
Sunrise and sunset
