Your stress-free shoot checklist
Session Prep
Everything you need to feel confident, comfortable, and ready for your close-up.
đź‘—styling tips
- Stick to colors and textures that are timeless. Neutral tones, earthy shades, or soft pastels photograph beautifully.
- Add layers or accessories, (jackets, scarves, hats) to mix up your look.
- Coordinate, don't match - choose colors that complement rather than identical outfits.

đź“Ťlocation notes
Each spot I shoot at has its own magic — golden sunsets in wide-open fields, cozy trails in the woods, or modern backdrops in the studio. I’ll help you pick the location that fits your vibe best. (Don’t worry, I’ll also give you tips on parking, walking paths, and what to bring along.)
🎒day-of essentials
- Water + light snacks
- Comfy walking shoes
- Touch-up items
- Bug spray or coats (depending on season)
- A favorite toy, blanket, or comfort item for littles
đź’Ś Mindset & Comfort
This is your time to just be. Don’t stress about “perfect” — real smiles, movement, and even a little chaos tell your story best. I’ll take care of the angles, prompts, and light… your only job is to show up as you are.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒For families + Kids
- Wiggles, giggles, and breaks are all welcome - kids don't need to be still to be captured beautifully.
- Bring something familiar that makes them happy (a favorite, toy or treat.)
- Patience is key - sometimes the best photos come from the in-between moments.
