• Bring an outfit change to add variety.

​

General Advice

​

• Hair - If you are getting a hair cut for your shoot, do so about two weeks beforehand.

• Hair accessories - For on-location shooting, be ready to put your hair up in case of windy day. Bring bobbi pins, hair clips, or any other favorite accessories.

• Glasses - If family and friends wouldn't recognize you without glasses, do wear the glasses for the shoot. However, the glare on glasses can detract from your eyes in photos. Please have your lenses removed from your frames or you can purchase a suitable pair of inexpensive duplicate frames.

• Visine, lipstick, and lip gloss are your best friend before the photo shoot.

• Make-up - A subtle application of make-up can really soften your skin and accent your facial features. Make sure it matches your skin tone.

• Please iron your outfits. If you are wearing something that wrinkles easily, do not wear it in the car on the way to the shoot, just change at the location.

• Shoes - Ladies, please bring your heels and wedges. Men, please bring  your clean shoes.

• High school seniors - bring cap and gown, something casual, something stylish. Ladies slip a dress, fellas try a formal look to impress. Bring props that recall your high school years - sport gears, band instrument, high school car, letter jacket, etc.

​

Maternity

​

• Please moisturize your belly.

• Bring your props - ultrasound printout, alphabet blocks that spell your baby's name, stuffed animals, baby shoes, flowers, etc.

• Wear comfortable outfits and make you feel pretty - long flowy skirts, strapless brass. Tube dresses are great for showing off your shape!

• If you are doing semi-nude, bras and underwear will create noticable lines on your skin, so wear loose-fitting clothing for the shoot.

• Bring your spouse! They should bring outfits that coordinate with what you'll be wearing, or a dark long-sleeved shirt or sweater and dark pants. You should always be the focus!

​

Newborn

​

• Please book your shoot around your baby's feeding and nap times. If your baby falls asleep after feeding, wait to feed the baby until you are at the shoot.

• Bring some of wash cloth.

• Trim the fingernails and toenails.
• Cloth diapers or decorative diaper covers, solids preferred.
• Accessories - little hats, dainty headbands, crocheted hats, and sentimental items.
• If your baby tales a pacifier or bottle fed, please bring them along. 
• Loose clothing that day to avoid marks on their skin.
• Mommy, daddy, and sibling shoot will be at the end of the session, please bring black/white outfit and onesie.
