Session & Style Guide
Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your story. I truly appreciate the trust you've placed in me to capture your special moments. Family sessions are so much fun, but planning all the little details can be a tad bit stressful, so I've put together this guide to help you navigate the details and prepare you for your upcoming session.
My goal is to make this experience enjoyable and unforgettable for everyone! I'm here to tell your unique story through my lens.
Before your session, we will discuss all of the specifics of what you are looking to capture. Some of the things we will discuss are colors, wardrobe, who will be in the photos, where the session will take place, etc. Don't worry if you are unsure what to wear. I have some styling tips below to help with that.
As we embark on this journey together, I encourage you to relax, be yourselves, and let your personalities shine. The magic happens when we capture the authentic moments that define your family's love and connection. I'm not just here to take pictures; I'm here to tell your story.
A few weeks after your session, you will receive your gallery, where your stunning portraits will be revealed. I've designed a convenient system that simplifies the process of selecting and ordering your favorite portraits, making it simple, relaxed, and stress-free.
This unique experience unfolds in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to enjoy the reveal in a warm and cozy setting where you can enjoy a glass of wine, a cup of coffee, or your favorite beverage. This gallery reveal is all about you and your experience. I want you to remember those sweet moments from your session as you view your beautiful portraits.
Whether you desire your portraits in prints, albums, or just digital format, this is the time to select the perfect way to cherish your memories. Feel free to choose the portraits that resonate with you and pull at your heart strings the most. If you need any guidance during the process, I am here to help! My hope for this reveal is that it is an enjoyable and memorable experience for you and your family.
Simple is best!
Women's clothing comes in a multitude of designs, colors, and styles, and most times, women are more particular with their clothing than men, so having this as a foundation for the other outfits makes it easier to choose a color palette and style for your outfits. Start with one outfit, and build on it one-by-one.
A good place to start in choosing your outfits is to choose a color palette that has colors that compliment one another, rather than too many of the same or similar colors. It's also important to make sure colors don't clash.
I highly recommend choosing outfits that follow a softer tone and more neutral color palette, whether your session is at a location in nature or in the studio. It's great to have Earthy colors that compliment, yet pop against the backdrop. Neutral colors allow the subject of the portrait to shine and are also a great way to make sure your images remain timeless and beautiful.
This tip is especially crucial when choosing outfits, as busy patterns and logos can be extremely distracting and if there are too many outfits with patterns in your group, can clash. Incorporate mostly solids in your outfits, and include patterns only when the majority outfits are solids, and when patterns are not distracting.
The most important factor in choosing your outfits is to wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in. You'll want to choose something that fits you well and makes you feel good about yourself!
