Preparing For Your Session

We can feel the excitement building as your upcoming session approaches so we want to share some helpful tips to ensure you're fully prepared. 

Prepare Your Wardrobe
Choose a wardrobe that is simple, fits your personality, and makes you  feel amazing!  We will be moving around a lot, so it's important to choose clothes that allow you to move freely and comfortably. We encourage avoiding busy patterns, as they can distract from the beauty of your surroundings. Weather can change quickly, so dress for the season and bring a few extra layers in case the weather gets cold. 

Take inspiration from your home to coordinate your attire color theme with your decor, which will make choosing artwork easy.

Consult Your Stylist
Thinking about pampering yourself a little? Consider hiring a talented makeup artist or visiting a salon or barber. In the days leading up to your session, remember to prioritize self-care by getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated. We have a few excellent recommendations as well: War Paint International, Primped, Lady Vamp.

Show off Your Unique Style
What makes you, well, YOU? Capture your one-of-a-kind personality by infusing your session with your own personal touch. Think about a theme for your session, consider seasonal activities, and above all, what fills you with joy. 

Add an extra dose of meaning and beauty to your session with a cherished tradition, a beloved activity, or a sentimental item. Don't forget about your hobbies, like incorporating sports gear, musical instruments, or your favorite books. These personal touches will make your session uniquely yours.

Pack a Touch Up Kit 
Bringing along a touch-up kit is a brilliant idea! Make sure to include your essential items like makeup, moisturizer, hair spray, a comb, and extra hair pins. These items will help you look and feel flawless throughout your entire session. 

Also bring a few additional accessories for a spontaneous wardrobe change on the go. We like to recommend items like a stylish jacket, tie, hat, a statement belt, a change of shoes, or some dazzling jewelry. 

Day Of Your Session
Plan to arrive 5 minutes early to allow yourself time to get in the right headspace and freshen up. If you have little ones, provide a snack before you arrive so everyone is happy and full of energy. Have your little one ready in the outfit of your choice before the start of the session. You’re welcome to make clothing changes throughout, but keep in mind the time allotted for your session. 

Lastly, remember to relax and have fun, this is all about making memories together!
