Family, Couple, and Senior Portraits

The following guide is applicable for the sessions listed above.

What to wear:

• Look through your own clothing, no need to run out and buy new outfits for everyone. Find what makes you and your family photo ready.

• Consult with your photographer ahead of time about the outfit(s) you plan to wear. They can assist with finding what will be best. It is imperative that you and your photographer are clear on the style or look before the session.

• Family and couple's sessions need to coordinate, not match. Choose a color palette like neutrals, earth tones, or soft tones and build outfits around it.

• Knits, linen, denim, and flowy fabrics add depth. Layers like jackets and cardigans elevate your look or give different looks.

• If new items of clothing are purchased, order with plenty of time before the date of your session.  Allow time for any alterations done if needed as well.

• All clothing needs to be wrinkle free, pressed and ready to go before session begins.

• Bring extra clothing, snacks, and water for children.

Hair & Make-up:

• If your hair and makeup will be done off-site, plan to schedule your appointment 3–4 hours before leaving for your session. Allow extra time for travel and traffic, and connect with your stylist to confirm how long your look will take to complete.

• For updos, ensure your hair is securely styled and pinned in place

• Keep facial makeup soft and matte, limit shimmer to the eyes

• False lashes are recommended for a polished finish

• Clearly share your desired look with both your photographer and makeup  artist (natural, dramatic, smoky eye, voluminous curls, etc.)

• Bring your lipstick for quick touch-ups during your session

• No haircuts the week of , no spray tans-leaves blotches, no shaving the day of.
