Choose the Right Time of Day
The time of day can have a huge impact on your session. We recommend early morning around 8am or late afternoon to early evening after 6pm for the best lighting and atmosphere. The golden hour enhances the warmth and beauty of your photos, making those moments truly special. Try to avoid the hours from 1pm to 4pm when the sun is at its highest, as the harsh light can create unflattering shadows.

Plan Your Outfits
Pick outfits that make you feel confident. Consider a mix of casual and formal attire, and choose colors that complement your skin tone.

Accessorize Thoughtfully
Accessories can enhance your look but keep it balanced. Consider hats, scarves, or jewelry that represent your style without overwhelming your outfit.

Get Plenty of Rest
Ensure you’re well-rested the night before your session. A good night's sleep helps reduce bags under your eyes and gives you a more vibrant appearance.

Practice Your Poses
Before the session, practice a few poses in front of a mirror. Think about your best angles, and don’t be afraid to change it up during the shoot!

Communicate with Your Photographer
Share your ideas, preferences, and concerns with your photographer. This collaboration can lead to a more personalized and enjoyable experience.

Consider Props
Incorporate props that represent your passions or milestones, such as sports equipment, musical instruments, cars or books. They can add a personal touch to your photos.

Bring a Friend or Family Member
Having someone you trust along can help ease nerves and encourage natural smiles. They can also assist with outfits and props.

Mind the Weather
Keep an eye on the forecast. If it's an outdoor session, be prepared for changes in weather. Always have a backup plan for rain or extreme temperatures.

Enjoy the Moment
Lastly, relax and have fun! This session is a celebration of your achievements and future. Authentic smiles will shine through when you’re enjoying yourself!
