Hi! I'm so excited about our session together! Here are few tips for you before we get together for your session.
*Pinterest is a great resource for photos and ideas. If you have a board for your senior pictures, please, email me the link! (But you definitely do NOT have to have a board!!) It gives me ideas of what you like, what you want! But please, keep it to under 30 pins... the more pins you have, the harder time we have getting them all in.
Remember, I'd like you to have 2-3 changes of clothes - yes guys, even you! It can be just a shirt change if you'd like. You are welcome to bring more clothes and we can go through them and talk about which ones will look better in different locations.
*Jewelry is always GREAT!!! Bring lots, bring different things for different outfits!!! Dress in layers, jackets, scarves, hats, etc. It looks great!!
Remember... Your senior year is from August to May! Schedule seasonal pictures! Everyone loves SUMMER, FALL and WINTER, so make sure you schedule those before you graduate!!! I love to do your senior pictures in each season! But most seniors forget and only schedule theirs in the SPRING right before they graduate. That is the windy season, not to mention, nothing is green yet!!!!
I have a snow list every year! Just let me know that you want to be on it, and I will call you when it snows!!! If you can't do them when I call, I just put you back on it and call again next time!
*Props... Bring them if you'd like, talk to me about them if you have questions. These pictures are of YOU! We want them to be about you! Examples of props you could bring: sports items, musical instruments, books, guns, bows, hats, anything you like. But don't worry, you don't have to bring anything if you don't want to.
*Let's discuss locations. I need to know what you like.... what you want in the background of your pictures. Trees, bridges, creeks, lakes, old buildings, barns, fields etc. Remember, if you are wanting something special like sunflower or fall leaves, book early, because those are my two most requested things and I book up quickly! Remember to click on the 'location' tab above for ideas on where to go!
**If you wear glasses... please make sure they are clean! In close ups, you can see everything on your glasses! If they are transition lenses, please make sure to let me know so we can choose a shady location.
**Remember your socks and shoes when planning your outfit. Please don't wear your neon colored shoes with white socks unless they match your outfit!
*Grad Announcements! So much fun! I love all the different styles and types of announcements that I offer! I usually bring examples of the announcements with me during our shoot so you can look at them. I design every announcement just for you, so they are always unique and different! Here are a few different examples of announcements:
