Tips for Portrait Sessions
Please note that tips for Boudoir Sessions are different and will be e-mailed to you when you book your session.

Clothing:

  • We encourage you to bring as many clothing choices as you wish.
  • An extra change of clothes is always a good idea, especially with children.
  • Avoid heavy, high-contrast patterns if possible.
  • Sleeveless tops are not recommended for adult women.
  • For group shots, solid colors work well. They don't have to match exactly, but they should work in some sort of a theme (pastels, earth tones, bold and bright, various shades of one color, etc)

What to bring:

  • If you prefer not to get your clothes dirty, please bring a sheet or something light that you can sit on.
  • Ladies - keep your powder and lipstick with you so that you can re-apply throughout the session.
  • A rag or washcloth is always a good idea to dab yourself...just in case (this Texas heat is killer!).
  • Personal items that reflect your hobbies or interests are great props. If your child has a favorite toy or blanket, please feel free to bring that along to capture this moment in time.
  • Please have distractions available if your child gets cranky (snacks, juice, toys) but please keep them out of sight until they are needed.

When you book your session, please choose a time that is best for your children. Plan around naps and meals if possible.
