What to Expect During a Session

• Pre-shoot Communication: You’ll receive guidance on outfits, locations, and props. For commercial work, a creative brief and mood board may be prepared.
• On the Day: Expect professional direction on posing and composition. The photographer will manage lighting, camera settings, and interaction with subjects to capture natural expressions.
• Post-shoot: Images are culled, color-corrected, and selectively retouched. Final images are typically delivered via an online gallery with download and print ordering options.

Tips to Get the Best Results

• Plan wardrobe: Choose coordinated outfits (not matching), avoid loud patterns, and bring backups.
• Timing: Book sessions during “golden hour” (shortly after sunrise or before sunset) for soft, flattering light outdoors.
• Communication: Share examples of styles or shots you like and let the photographer know must-have moments.
• Prepare kids: Bring snacks, breaks, and a helper to keep little ones engaged.
• For brands: Provide a usage brief, audience info, and reference imagery to align shoots with your marketing goals.
