What else should we know?

• For a couple only, no guests, assistants, or videographers. No ceremony, reception, or license signing.

• Evening sessions are almost always better than morning sessions.

• Don't bring a tote, bag, purse, extra shoes, etc with you. I can’t carry your things.

• If you plan on bringing props please run those by me ahead of time.

• Most couples stick with 1-2 outfits. If you want to make an outfit change we’ll need to plan for getting back to your clothes mid-way through the session.

• Do not bring your extra attire with you.

• The time you are changing does eat into the session.

• When picking outfits don’t do some wild new style that isn’t you.

• You’ll be kissing a lot, so if you wear lip color, non-transferring is recommended.

• Do not do a facial treatment or peel just days or hours before your session.

• Avoid getting a sunburn before your session and don’t use self tanner.

• Tan line removal is not included.

• If you are late to the session you will likely be in a terrible mood.

• Dresses: flowing is better than tight and make sure it's not long enough to trip over.

• Comfortable shoes. We’ll walk 10,000 steps and I’ll ask you to dance.

• Contrast is good. Let's discuss if you have a matchy idea.

• Some plain white button-ups appear shiny / blue in photos.

• Glasses are ok but no transitions (clean your glasses).

• If you wish to include your own videographer we’ll need to discuss.

• No one else should be tagging along with you with the exception of a driver or a pet wrangler.

• Dogs are the best, bring your dogs and a pet wrangler person. We’ll start with the dogs, then send them home.

Will we like how we look?

Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately, body image issues seem to be more common these days. Do you generally not like photos of yourself? Do you regularly use beauty filters on yourself in apps? If so working with me might leave you feeling that you don’t look like your idea of yourself.

I don’t do a lot of heavy retouching so make an effort on hair, makeup, and attire (without trying something wildly new).

While I work to capture everyone at their best I believe addressing one’s self-esteem will go further than any makeup, pose, or photoshop. You are beautiful, Love yourself.
