Most people have never had professional portraits made. Let me guide in you preparing for your session and put you at ease!

When preparing for a professional portrait shoot, it’s essential to choose your outfit thoughtfully to ensure you look your best and convey the message you want through your photos. Opt for clothing that fits well and flatters your body shape. Solid colors typically work best, as busy patterns or logos can be distracting.

Accessorize wisely by selecting pieces that enhance your outfit without overpowering it. Style your hair in a way that you feel confident and comfortable. For makeup, keep it natural and light to highlight your features without appearing too heavy on camera. If you choose, my team includes a professional makeup artist. Lastly, bring a few outfit options to the shoot so you can have some variety in your photos and choose the best look for different settings and poses.

To reduce camera shyness for your first professional portrait session, it’s perfectly normal to feel nervous in front of the camera. One effective way to combat shyness is to practice posing and facial expressions in front of a mirror beforehand. This can help you become more comfortable with how you look and feel in different positions.

Another tip is to communicate openly with your photographer. Let them know about your concerns and any specific preferences you have.
