Session Information – Everything you need to know about your shoot, how to prepare, and what happens after.
Preparation
Wardrobe
Wear clothes that are pressed, clean and that make you feel good. Colours are nice but avoid too many colours and patterns together as it can be distracting. White shirts on their own can wash you out, under another garment is fine. If you’re having trouble making a decisions, you are welcome to bring a few things and we can decide together.
Grooming
Hair should be clean and styled. Makeup tends to wash out on camera, I recommend wearing more than you normally would. Bring anything you may need for touch ups during your session. Don’t forget, nails should be camera ready too.
Professional Hair & Makeup
To be prepared for your professional hair and makeup it’s ideal to come without makeup on and your hair washed the evening before.
Photography Style
Feel free to email (or bring) references of the types of photography that you like and why. We will decide what is possible in your session via email or phone. Alternatively, we can discuss ideas when you arrive for your session.
