portraits.
It is so important to preserve each milestone that you come across. Whether its a new home, moving in together, starting a family, new pets or even new adventures, those are some of the happiest moments of your life. Why not capture them? Capturing memories help you reminisce on the important times of your life. So let us capture the baby bumps, new homes, children growing up and the amazing things happening in your life.
So our favorite pictures to capture are the ones that come with emotion, movement, and interaction. Let's be honest, the pictures on Pinterest are cute and all but why not be you? We definitely want you to be yourself in front of the camera. Yes, we will pose you.. but we love capturing the YOU about you!

dia's
when to schedule...
family portraits
its best to schedule at-least 2-4 weeks in advance.. that way you can plan your outfits out accordingly..
engagement portraits
anywhere from 4-6 months prior to your wedding ... that way you can get your invites out ASAP! or... whenever your favorite season is..
Fall & Spring are the best seasons for fresh creative photos
time of the day
early morning and during the afternoon an hour before sunset are the best times
weather
it's so important to take weather into consideration ! Spring and Fall sessions are the absolute best.. that way you aren't sweating your booty off or freezing your booty off!
If rain occurs, we will reschedule your session.

what to wear...
Who are you?
photos are all about you and your memories.. there is nothing wrong with being you! If you'd like to step up your style by a notch, add an accessory or a large statement piece.
Hair and Make-up
Whew , we loveeee make-up! It's not a necessity but it makes a different in photos. There is nothing ever wrong with an enhanced version of you. Hey, if you're not comfortable with a full face, a pop of a lip color can make a huge difference.
Now with hair, the wind tends to blow sometimes... but we got you covered! Just bring a few hair accessories including a brush if needed.
Colors
patterns and textures are always your friend..
its always great to color coordinate but not too heavily.. now think of where you would like to display your photos or what the can be used for..
save the dates? holiday cards? business purposes?
it all depends on the color scheme.
what to expect...
posed * Candid
many of the photos we shoot are half candid and half posed... we tend to capture many candid shots in between the moments you are preparing to be posed.. those are usually the best shots and our personal favorites !
how many pics?
this is a dependent on the session.. there are never two sessions alike.. now...we will provide you with an estimate number of images..
they session images can range anywhere between 25-75 images.. or more ;)
in the zone
ahh photography is our baby... when we are in the zone .. we are usually looking for the best lighting at all times.. don't mind us If we stop mid way through a sentence to snap a photo... remember you hired us to create amazing photos!
Set your tone
make your photo session the highlight of your day.. don't put too much on yourself or plan too many things.. don't overthink or stress..
the vibe of your day can kinda affect your tone of the photo session.. relax, breath... and prepare to smile :)
empty your pockets
leave your phone and bags in the car.. you can put your keys in the camera bag.. minimalism is the absolute best!
