-  To get the very best photos, try to limit the amount of patterns there are in the wardrobe choice.  My favorite tip is to pick 2 or 3 colors & build the wardrobe around those.  Neutral colors:  whites/blacks/browns/greys with a soft or deep color & a pattern or two that coordinate. 

-  Don't be afraid of throwing in a pattern/layering clothing & accessories! A couple great pieces can help add dimension and interest to your photos.  Children's outfits are just as important : )  I love a great vest, fun tights, a bow tie, a blazer, a scarf, etc.

-  Wear what makes you FEEL good, and that you are comfortable in.   Dress to accentuate your favorite parts of your body.  If you need tips for this, feel free to contact me! 

**Please  avoid shirts with large logos/graphics, and overly bright colors. Bright colored fabrics can create unpleasant color casts on complexions, and logos/busy graphics distract from the final look of your portrait.

- For Fresh 48 sessions, I recommend wearing white, gray, black or a very light neutral color for you and your partner.  We really want to focus on baby, and all his or her precious features.

-  Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your session time, as it will begin promptly at your scheduled time.

-  If there will be children in the photos, please don’t offer sugar or caffeine prior to the session.  Be sure to talk about getting photos done over the next couple days with them so they're familiar with the idea.  I will have a sucker to offer them as the session is nearing the end in case we need to bribe them a little to get the photos we want.  (As a parent myself, I am not above bribery for family photos! :) PLEASE let me know if you would prefer a sucker NOT be offered to them.   Sometimes, getting photos done can be a little overwhelming for little ones.  If either of us feel like a child might need a short break, I am totally okay with that!  As a Mama myself, it is a priority for the session to be a positive experience for the child.  Happy kiddos = happy, natural, portraits!

-  During our time together, we will capture some beautiful, classic portraits in addition to more of a lifestyle approach to our session.  I do a combination of posing and natural type interactions to achieve that look.

-  After our session, be sure to follow my Facebook + Instagram to see a sneak peek of your photos!  I welcome & encourage clients to tag themselves and/or share their photo!

-  Stay tuned!  Your gallery & instructions and a product guide will arrive to your e-mail inbox a couple weeks after your session.
