DURING OUR TIME TOGETHER, WE'LL HAVE THE CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER WHILE
YOU EXPERIENCE MY APPROACH TO PORTRAITS. THIS SESSION WILL HELP YOU FEEL
CONFIDENT BEFORE WE GET TO YOUR WEDDING DAY. IT'LL ENSURE THAT I’LL ARRIVE FOR
YOUR WEDDING WEEKEND ALREADY KNOWING WHAT MAKES Y’ALL FEEL THE MOST COMFORTABLE
AND LIKE YOURSELVES AND HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH YOU IN A WAY THAT FEELS GENUINE TO
YOU!

TO SERVE YOU BEST, I'VE CREATED A GUIDE FOR YOU TO FINISH PLANNING THE LOGISTICS
OF THE SESSION AND HOPEFULLY AVOID ANY STRESSORS.

A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU



I'VE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE FOR A LONG TIME AND I KNOW THAT IT CAN BE
INTIMIDATING TO BE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.  FOR MOST PEOPLE IT DOESN'T FEEL
PARTICULARLY EASY!  BUT ONE THING I'VE NOTICED AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF
PHOTOGRAPHING PEOPLE: IF YOU LOOK YOUR BEST, YOU FEEL YOUR BEST! CONFIDENCE
EXUDES FROM YOU!   

THERE ARE A FEW KEY FACTORS TO FEELING YOUR BEST: HAIR & MAKEUP AND ATTIRE.
TO ENSURE THIS IS AS STRESS-FREE AS POSSIBLE, I RECOMMEND BOOKING BEAUTY
SERVICES FOR  HAIR & MAKEUP BEFORE YOUR SHOOT. 

IN FACT, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO WORK WITH YOUR WEDDING ARTIST FOR A TRIAL BEFORE
THE BIG DAY AND HAVE IT COORDINATE WITH OUR PHOTOS.  IF THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO
SCHEDULE, I'VE EVEN HAD CLIENTS GO TO SEPHORA OR NORDSTROM TO HAVE THEIR MAKEUP
DONE.  ONE LESS THING FOR YOU TO WORRY ABOUT!



FEEL YOUR BEST



"LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE, SWIM THE SEA, DRINK THE WILD AIR."
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON





A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU 



WHEN PICKING OUTFITS I RECOMMEND KEEPING IN MIND THE WORD “COMPLEMENT” RATHER
THAN “MATCH.”

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR GROOM IS WEARING A BLUE AND PINK PASTEL PLAID SHIRT, YOU
MAY WANT TO CHOOSE A LONG, SOFT BLUE DRESS. IT CAN ALSO BE A GREAT IDEA TO
CHOOSE “COLOR-FAMILIES,” SUCH AS PASTELS OR NEUTRAL TONES.

A GOOD RULE OF THUMB: PICK 3 OR SO COLORS AND SPREAD THEM THROUGHOUT YOUR
ATTIRE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO MIX A FEW SUBTLE PATTERNS OR TEXTURES (SUCH AS LINEN)
BUT AVOID ANYTHING WITH TINY PATTERNS. 

AND ALWAYS KEEP THE LOCATION IN MIND. IF WE'RE SHOOTING IN A GREEN FIELD, LIGHT
GREEN DRESSES MIGHT BLEND IN TOO MUCH WITH THE SURROUNDINGS.



CHOOSE ATTIRE



WHAT TO WEAR



TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, HERE ARE A FEW DOES AND DON’TS --



WEAR CLASSIC CUTS AND PIECES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.



DO



WEAR THINGS THAT COORDINATE WITH EACH OTHER IN FORMALITY AND COLORS.



DO



WEAR A LITTLE EXTRA MAKEUP, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE EYES SO THEY POP!



DO



DO



CHOOSE FLOWING AND FLATTERING PIECES TO FIT WITH THE SETTING & YOUR SHAPE.



WEAR ANYTHING TRENDY OR SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU FEEL CONFIDENT.



DON'T



WEAR YOUR MATCHING WHITE TEES AND JEANS FROM THE 90S.



DON'T



FORGET TO SEE IF YOU CAN COORDINATE YOUR HAIR OR MAKEUP WITH OUR SESSION.



DON'T



DON'T



WEAR TINY PATTERNS. STRIPES AND DOTS THAT ARE CLOSE TOGETHER DON’T PHOTOGRAPH
PARTICULARLY WELL.

PROPS & PUPS


MAKE YOUR SESSION EXTRA SPECIAL



ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN COUPLES DO IS CREATE A LITTLE DATE
NIGHT SPREAD TO UTILIZE AND PHOTOGRAPH AT THE END OF OUR TIME TOGETHER. 
BRINGING A BLANKET TO SIT ON THE BEACH NOT ONLY ALLOWS US TO HAVE SOME VARIETY
IN PHOTOS, BUT PAIR IT WITH A CUTE PICNIC SETUP AND I GET TO ACTUALLY CAPTURE
Y'ALL ENJOYING A DATE NIGHT, TOO!  IF THIS DOESN'T FEEL AUTHENTIC TO YOU, FEEL
FREE TO SKIP!

I OFTEN HAVE COUPLES ASK IF THEY CAN INCLUDE THEIR PUPS IN THEIR ENGAGEMENT
SESSION, TOO! THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS A RESOUNDING "YES!" TYPICALLY WE HAVE YOU
BRING A "PUP HANDLER" SO TO SPEAK THAT MEETS US AT THE END OF THE SESSION.  LET
ME KNOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DOING SO!





"BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?!"




POSING WOES


WHEN IT COMES TO POSING FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION, YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY
ABOUT A THING! I’LL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS BEGINNING WITH “POSES”
THAT ARE SUPER EASY AND NATURAL. IF I TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT FEELS A
LITTLE FUNNY, IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE I KNOW IT’S GOING TO MAKE THE TWO OF YOU
LAUGH - AND THAT’S THE PHOTO I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR. 

THROUGHOUT YOUR SESSION, I’LL KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR HAIR, MAKEUP AND OUTFITS TO
MAKE SURE THINGS STAY IN PLACE. I WANT YOU TO FEEL AS RELAXED AS POSSIBLE AND
ENJOY YOUR TIME TOGETHER! 


YAY!

I'm so excited for our time together and can't wait to see you so soon!  If you
need anything in between now and our session, don't hesitate to reach out.  I'm
here for anything you need!

See you so soon!
