Before Your Session: 

• Please make sure your remaining balance is paid prior to your session. You can check your invoice for the amount due, payment options, and due date.
• Arrive dressed and ready to go so we can make the most of our time together.
• All outfits should be steamed or ironed ahead of time to ensure everything looks clean and polished on camera.
• For families with young children, please take a moment before the session to make sure faces and hands are clean. A quick wipe can make a big difference in close-up images.
• If your session is outdoors, keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly. Layers are always a great option!! :)
• Plan to arrive a few minutes early so everyone has time to settle in and we can begin on time.
• For little ones, feel free to bring a few simple essentials like water, a small snack, or a comfort item. Neutral, mess-free snacks are best.

What to wear:

I get asked about outfits all the time, so I wanted to give a little guidance—but truly, at the end of the day, I want you to wear what feels like you. When you feel good, that’s what matters most and it always comes through in your photos.

If you want a little direction, here are some helpful tips:

• Coordinate, Don’t Match: Think of your outfits as going together, not being identical. Pick a few colors that complement each other and build from there.
• Neutrals Always Work: Soft, neutral tones like cream, tan, olive, rust, gray, and denim photograph beautifully. Subtle patterns are great too—just try to avoid anything super bold, neon, or with large logos.
• Add Some Texture: Mixing fabrics like knits, linen, or denim adds depth and keeps things from feeling flat. Layers like cardigans or jackets can also add a little extra interest.
• Comfort is Key: If you’re adjusting your outfit the whole time, it’ll show. Choose pieces you can move, sit, and relax in—especially for kids.
• Start with One Outfit You Love: Usually that’s mom’s, and then you can build everyone else around it. It makes the whole process a lot easier.

And if you’re ever unsure, feel free to send me options—I’m always happy to help you pull everything together!
