5 USEFUL tips to help prepare you for your portrait session.


  1. Make a hair, nail, and/or makeup appointment before your session. These may seem like small and minor details but we want everything to be perfect. If you are looking and in need of recommendations for a hair or makeup artist. I highly recommend @Stephanie_juado_makeup or @Lizzayy_themua on Instagram for makeup as well as @iguessalexia on Instagram for hair. 
  2. Plan your outfits in advance. If you are planning on ordering something online, please be sure to have more than enough time to arrive on time for your session. Do not wait till the last minute to plan outfits, you want to feel prepared on the day of your session. If you are needing any advice or color recommendations to wear, please feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to help! I know how difficult choosing an outfit can be, we’re not all fashion designers am I right?
  3. Be sure to eat, drink, and rest before your session. If you feel tired you will look tired and remember we want you to look your best! If you do eat something prior to your session make sure it is something that will not stain or make a mess. 
  4. Think about how you can accessorize. Accessories can add a different element to your photo session. For example, you can wear a nice hat. Something as simple as this can change your session drastically!
  5. Gather any props or poses you might want to use. You are more than welcome to bring props with you to your session. Just be sure to gather them the night before. You don’t want to risk running late because you were trying to look for your varsity jacket for senior portraits. You may have seen a specific pose or image online that you would like to recreate. If you have specific poses or images that you like, please be sure to share them with me prior to your session.
