Get Appointments Scheduled First!

If you plan on getting hair styled, makeup or nails done on the day of your session you will want to get those appointments scheduled right away. You don't want to risk there not being an appointment slot!

For haircuts and other major hair changes, I recommend getting these done at LEAST one week before your session just in case you need to make a follow up appointment for any corrections. It happens!

How to prepare outfits?

You will want to have outfits selected one week before your session. You will thank me later! For the little ones make sure you have at least one back up outfit. We have a lot of fun during our sessions and sometimes clothes can get dirty. 

How to decide on what to wear?

Dress for the weather. It is a good idea to dress in layers when it is cold.

** Pro Tip **

If you are wanting to do outfit changes during your session, adding/removing layers is a quick and easy way to change a look and incorporate outfit changes. It's perfect for those of us who have busy toddlers!

Clothes should coordinate not match. 

Keep it simple. Stay away from clothing trends and instead choose classic outfits that will stand the test of time. 

Choose clothes that fit. I know kids grow fast and you want to get the most out of the clothes by getting them a little bigger but this is not the time for that. We don't want them to bunch or look frumpy in your photos.

Finally, don't forget the shoes!

A good pair of shoes completes an outfit. A bad pair of shoes can ruin an outfit. Remember to keep them weather appropriate and comfortable. Also keep in mind where your session will be. If your session is going to be downtown or a manicured area, then feel free to wear those heels or sandals. If your session is going to be out in the country or other unmaintained area, stick to close toed shoes or boots. Thank you, Texas, for your stickers and thorns.
