Your Questions Answered

I want your session to feel relaxed, natural, and enjoyable — no need for stiffness or coming off overly posed.

The best photos happen when you feel comfortable, connected, and like yourself. Here are a few simple tips to help you prepare.

You do not need to perform.

You don’t need to be “good at photos.” The most meaningful images come from genuine connection, emotion, movement, and presence.

Come as you are.

I’ll take care of the rest.

  • Wear Something That Feels Like You. Choose clothing that feels comfortable and authentic to your style. If you feel good in what you’re wearing, it will show in your photos.

    Neutral & Earthy Tones Photograph Beautifully

    Soft neutrals and natural tones tend to work best outdoors and help create a timeless look.

    Some colours that photograph especially well:

    • Cream

    • Beige

    • Olive

    • Brown

    • Soft blues

    • Rust

    • Muted greens

    • Warm whites

    Avoid

    • Bright neon colours

    • Busy patterns or large logos

    • Matching outfits exactly

    • Clothing you constantly need to adjust

    Coordinate, Don’t Match

    If you’re being photographed with a partner or family, aim for colours and textures that complement each other rather than identical outfits.

    Layers, linen, knits, denim, and natural textures photograph beautifully.

  • Keep things natural and true to yourself.

    A few helpful things to keep in mind:

    • Moisturize lips and skin beforehand

    • Clean nails are always a good idea (especially for engagement sessions)

    • Avoid hair ties on wrists if possible

    • Bring touch-up items if you’d like

    • Make sure clothes are wrinkle-free before the session

    If wind, movement, or imperfect hair happens during the session — don’t stress. Often those moments create the most beautiful images.

  • You do not need to know how to pose.

    My sessions are gently guided and focused more on movement and connection than perfect posing. I’ll help with direction when needed while leaving space for natural moments to unfold.

    The goal is not to look perfect — it’s to capture something real.

    Some of the best photos happen:

    • while walking

    • laughing

    • fixing each other’s hair

    • holding hands

    • taking a breath together

    • during the in-between moments

    Feeling nervous is completely normal at first. Most people relax within the first 10–15 minutes.

  • Most sessions take place during golden hour — shortly before sunset — when the light is soft, warm, and flattering.

    Outdoor sessions may occasionally need to be rescheduled due to heavy rain or extreme weather.

  • What to Bring

    Depending on your session, it can help to bring:

    • A blanket

    • Water

    • Comfortable walking shoes

    • A second outfit

    • Small meaningful items

    • Layers for cooler evenings

    For maternity or couples sessions, simple and meaningful is often best.
