Locations:
Outdoor locations are always a great idea when
possible, especially in the middle of the day when
the sun is at it's best. In the winter months,
morning and afternoon hours are great for the
most lighting potential. In the summer months,
afternoon and evening hours work best for
lighting sources.
Indoor locations are preferred to have as much
natural lighting as possible. The more windows
the better. The less I have to use a flash the
better. If you are unsure about a location,
please contact me and I will help you out as
much as I can.
Attire:
To give you the best possible images,
keep your clothing simple and timeless but
don't forget about textures and layers.
(knitted pieces, linen, corduroy, denim, etc.)
Don't be afraid of color and basic patterns.
Have fun with the clothes!
I am available for pre-session meetings to
go over attire if needed.
Please leave clothing with large logos and
pictures at home. Too much information can
take away from the subject and our goal is to
bring attention to you instead of your clothes.
Solid colored clothing is always welcomed and
comes across wonderfully on film.
If you don't know what to bring, try picking some
solid colors that will contrast and compliment the
background. Black and white is always a safe
choice and looks wonderful in B&W images.
Remember...accessories are a lot of fun to add
to an outfit. If you are unsure, just bring it and we
can find a way to tie them in. Scarves, hats, bags,
glasses, bows, and anything else that might help
bring some fun to your photos.
