The 4 keys for a successful portrait session.

4 Tips for a Great Portrait Photo Session

1. Choosing the Right Location: I’m here to help with this one! In our initial call we can talk about the best location for your portraits. Picking a setting that matches your style is vital to capture your most authentic self. A photo studio, natural areas, city scenes, or your own home are all great options for a great portrait.

2. Dress Comfortably: Wear clothes that show your personality and make you feel good. Avoid busy patterns that distract from your face and consider bringing a few outfits. I am always happy to help with input if you need it!

3. Practice Poses: Don’t be afraid to try different poses in front of a mirror to see what looks good. Find flattering angles that reflect who you are, whether standing or sitting. Good posture goes a long way!

4. Stay Relaxed and Enjoy: The best photos capture real moments. Take a deep breath, and feel free to bring a friend for support. I typically bring a speaker so we can jam your favorite tunes to keep the atmosphere light and fun.

To summarize- communicate what you want, wear what you want, and just be yourself! I aim to make portrait sessions as relaxing and comfortable as possible. We can snap as many photos as you need and I love to remind my clients that you only need to look good for 1/250 of a second. Hope that helps!
