We are so excited to see you this holiday season! We hope this guide helps as you prepare and plan :)
Matchy Matchy.
We recommend you avoid matching outfits. You should pick outfits and accessories that coordinate and contrast instead! |
Bold is best!
You already know how much we love color! Feel free to express yourself through your clothes and allow your outfit to reflect your personal style. |
Location, Location, Location.
In addition to considering how your outfit colors compliment others with you in photos, consider how what you wear will compliment the scenery around you too! You want to pop! |
Patterns are great...
most of the time! Just make sure you are not mixing and matching patterns between you and those with you. Stay away from very small, intricate or busy patterns. For nature locations, it’s best to wear a large pattern print or go for solids. And definitely just say no to logos! |
Be real + comfortable!
Planning to be in a rugged terrain (loose soil, gravel, sand, hiking trails)? Wear comfy shoes! If you want to wear fancier shoes for the actual photos, just bring a pair of sandals for walking from spot to spot. |
Empty those pockets!!!!
You probably don’t want to have key chains, wallets or phones showing through your pockets (looking at you, gents!) ;) |
Bringing your pup?
YAY! Pretty please bring a friend who can help babysit your fur babe when they aren’t in photos, or Tim can step in to handle doggie duty. |
Please be on time.
Please be 10-15 minutes early to your time slot as we have multiple clients booked back to back and we want to insure a smooth transition from session to session. If you are more than 5 minutes late for your session start time, your session is cancelled with the option to reschedule at a later date for a $30 fee. |
Final Advice...
...have FUN! Focus on being yourself. Don’t try and be someone else’s Pinterest board. Dress up, but not so much that you feel uncomfortable. Hang out and interact with those in photos with you like you normally would. Goof around, make silly faces, play and laugh! |

You are not alone! However we want to reassure you that you are more photogenic than you think!
We are constantly surprising people by discovering their hidden modeling skills – our clients frequently say, “that wasn’t as bad as I expected! It was actually really fun!” Boom! Mission accomplished. When our clients tell us that taking pictures is fun, we know we’ve done a good job. Your photos are supposed to be fun and relaxed, not forced or awkward! As you prepare for your session, there are a few things that you can do to get ready. I highly recommend sitting down together and browsing through some of our other recent sessions. This will allow you both to align your expectations and get a preview of what your day will be like. Taking photos can be an awkward thing to do, but it really helps to just lean into the awkward. Laugh about it! Talk about it! And then before you know it, you’ll be having a total blast. Remember to have patience with everyone (especially kids and pups!) and give each other grace. We want to also encourage you that we will be guiding you every step along the way, we won’t just stand back and snap away. We will prompt you on how to interact with each other and direct you on what to do with your hands and body, chit chat with you, and say silly things to get you to giggle. Our ultimate goal is to help you feel like a natural!
