perfecting every detail

Location

We love natural light, so we may have a few suggestions on how to best achieve this. By choosing your locations, it will be easier to select your clothing style and colors.

Style

Now that you have chosen your location, season, it's time to pick out your clothing! It's important to match the theme of your session and allow the focus to be on your loved ones, letting the clothing compliment your personalities. Be comfortable and confident in your selection. We suggest the women select their clothing first, then move onto the girls, and lastly, the boys and men.

Season

How do you visualize yourself in your session? Are you soaking up the summer sun or kicking snow into the air? Nailing down the season, will help finalize the look of the shoot. We suggest avoiding the coldest months, but don't rule out a beautiful winter day. During the heat of the summer, sessions will only be booked just before sunset, to keep you cool and capture those beautiful light glows.
