SOME USEFUL TIPS & TRICKS FOR YOUR SESSION

Tips for My Graduates:

Tips for My Athletes:

  • Iron your stoles/dress/tie/gown/etc! Bring them on hangers or fold them nicely in a bag to avoid crumpling and wrinkling!

  • Use lash glue to keep necklaces and hair in place

  • They say "champagne photos are great, but you only get one take." Nope. Bring a 2 liter of club soda (I usually have one for grad sessions) and we can get several takes...it's also a good stain remover if you're clumsy like me.

  • Water! Stay hydrated!

  • Pocket mirror

  • Hairbrush

  • Slippers/sandals if you're wearing heels

  • Sweatshirt/jacket/sweatpants if it's chilly

  • Portable fan if it's hot (I'll try to bring one)

  • Safety pins or fashion tape (I'll try to have these too)

  • Makeup: oil blotting papers/powder, lash glue, etc

  • Speaker - music never hurts! (I'll try to bring a speaker)

Things to Bring to Your Session:

Tips for My Non-Human Clients:

  • Just play & I'll do my best to capture your every highlight.

  • Good sportsmanship shows on camera

  • Pretend I'm not there/don't over perform and end up making mistakes. Focus on the game.

General Tips From Me:

  • Communicate! Text or call me if I don't reach out first to confirm your date, time & location and PLEASE answer if I try to contact you!

  • Be on time! If you're going to be late, just let me know.

  • Plan a rain date in case the weather doesn't cooperate.

  • If you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out! This is me giving you permission to blow up my phone...

  • Please have your deposit/payment ready. I understand this is an investment, so I won't hound you. Just remember that I cannot deliver your photos until you have paid in full!

  • If you have a specific idea in mind for our shoot, find some photos and share them with me so we're on the same page

  • Favor neutral/pastel tones in wardrobe

  • Please make sure your animal friend is well-behaved and/or trained!

  • Bring little training treats/kibble

  • Bring water & a bowl

  • If it's going to be hot & sunny, we can choose a location with shade

  • Make sure your animal friend is ready for lots of pets (I can't resist petting them)

  • Bring a towel or blanket in case it rains, we get in the water, or if it's muddy
