Activities

A great way to give that candid, natural look that you see in a lot of my work is to do an activity during your session! For a family session, this could look like playing an outdoor game, doing a puzzle, or dancing together. It can really be anything that you like to do together!

What to Wear

First, decide on a color scheme. After that, outfits should start to fall into place.

I like the idea of color schemes over matching your outfits exactly. The reason color schemes are so awesome is because it's very aesthetically pleasing, while also giving the appearance that I caught a sweet moment between you and your partner on a date, or your family cooking together. Instead of a posed, formal photo session.

Accessories are not only super fun, but they also are a tool to help with posing! Do you get uncomfortable in front of cameras? Don't worry, unless your a model, it's SUPER common to feel this way! Accessories give you something to do with your hands, like grabbing your jacket or playing with your necklace. A lot of times, this helps give a candid look to photos and also helps calm some camera-nerves!

If the weather permits, I LOVE how long, flowy skirts and dresses look in photos! This helps add movement to photos when it blows in the wind or when you swish it around.
