Portrait tips
-Avoid bold patterns, stripes and plaids, simple is better.
-Avoid shiny fabrics.
-Make sure clothing has been ironed.
-Solid colors are best.
-Feel free to bring your favorite props.
-Wear clothing that is comfortable, if you're not comfortable it may be obvious in your pictures.

distraction to your photos.

-Morning appointments are preferred for newborn-toddler aged children.
For Maternity:
-Optimal session dates for maternity are between 6-7 months.
-Concerned about stretch marks? Don't worry, I can take them out.
-Solid black and solid white button up shirts provide a timeless, classy look.
-Several hours before your photo shoot, you'll want to take off anything that has tight elastic such
as slacks with tight waistbands and undergarments or bras in order to make sure you don't have
elastic or strap marks on your skin.
-Remember that your hands will likely show up in the pictures so make sure you give yourself a
mini-manicure.
-If you plan to include other children or your husband in your pictures, please let me know in
advance.
-Tops that will cover your belly should be form fitting to show off your beautiful bump.
