Some tips to a great session

OK, so I want to contact you and set up an appointment, where shall we shoot the pictures?

Well it all depends on you and your family if it applies. If you want, I can set up my studio, with a background and lights, we can do that. Or if you love your back/front yard, that works well too. The park or outdoor location works great too. If you want something different, we can shoot in a more urban setting. Great!

What should we wear?
Simple is the best. Prints do not make for good images. I tend to suggest monochromatic clothes such as one color tees/shirts, jean or khakis. But if you have a more eclectic style and you want a more stylized shoot, we can do that too. For costumes, whether simple or elaborate, we can have fun with that as well!

What about hair and make-up?
If you would like, I can have a hair and make-up person come do their magic. However this is an extra cost. But they really can complete the look and make for even more beautiful photos.

Anything else?
Only bring to the shoot, yourself and others that are to be photographed. Bystanders tend to distract everyone and this does not make for good pictures. Props are great, just keep it simple and to the theme of the shoot.

If there are any additional items you'd like me to bring, I love to bounce around ideas and find the perfect fit :)
