10 tips for your photo shoot!~
- Decide on a “feel” or Theme for your shoot. Some ideas for the “feel” would be sexy, classic, flirty, sporty or fun. A theme idea could be Urban, country, nature, vintage or rustic. Once you figure out the feel or theme you can then better come up with a perfect location!
And here is one for nature theme
Here is a casual sports idea:
they are both big Boston fans and wanted that captured!
2. Once location is chosen, think about what to wear! You should coordinate your outfit style to the feel of the location. It is best if you pick out 2-3 outfits too that would be easy to change into while out on location. Having different outfits in the same location can create a whole different look. A suggestion; bring a fun and trendy and more casual look and one more dressy, semi formal look Also, you want to coordinate with those in the photos with you. You do not need to match but keep your styles similar and in the matching color schemes. This will create a better impact for the overall photo. Here are some clothing tips too: Try to wear solid colors, layer your look, bright colors are fun, cute trendy shoes are always great, and pick clothes that are most flattering for you, not what is most in style. Try to AVOID logos, busy patterns such as stripes and polka dots, and unflattering outfits.
Here is an example of nice solid colors that are not to "matchy" but coordinated...
5. If possible, get your hair and makeup professionally done! If you do not have a regular hair dresser or makup artist I can refer you to some great ones in the industry that I know and trust! Beside, is there a better way to start a photo shoot than just after being pampered and beautified??
6. Bring props! Especially those that have a special meaning! Pictures, gifts from each other, chalk boards to write cute notes to each other, save the date signs, and what ever else you can come up with!
Here is a maternity prop! this little bear has the recording of their daughters heartbeat:
9. Speak up! If you have a vision or saw an image that you just have to have in your shoot, tell me! I strive to make these photos just the way YOU want them! This always helps if you let me know ahead of time too, you can call, email, facebook, text me! Lots of ways to let me know! Or you can just let me know at the shoot too! Not a problem!
10. BE yourself!!! I want to capture YOU and the real you! Not the one that straightens up and shows me the biggest smile when I pick up my camera! Yes, I will direct you through your shoot, but it is all the innocent moments of you being you that I will strive to document. So just look at this experience as a day out with your loved ones and a friend with her camera to be able to preserve your MOMENTS!
Here are a few sweet moments that I caught in between shots:
