Portraits · Session preparation

Feel comfortable.
Be yourself.

A few simple choices can help the session feel more relaxed and personal.

← All resources

Start with your purpose.

Think about where the images will live: your home, a graduation announcement, a professional profile, or a gift. Share the purpose and any examples you like before the session.

Choose comfortable clothing.

Pick outfits that fit well, feel like you, and suit the location. Simple colors and subtle patterns help keep attention on faces. For a group, coordinate without needing everyone to dress identically.

Plan for the setting.

Consider footwear, weather, and how much walking the location involves. Bring practical extras, such as water or a backup outfit, when useful.

Leave a little breathing room.

Give yourself time to arrive and settle in. Share any concerns beforehand so we can account for them as we plan.
