LAYERS & ACCESSORIES

LAYERS & TEXTURES:

• jackets with pockets, yes! (especially if you normally wear them)

• different textured layers, like flannel shirts, sweaters, even a hoodie sweatshirt if that’s your thing

• texture in fabric of an overlayer adds dimension without being too distracting

• try thinking “cozy” for an outfit

ACCESSORIES:

• jewelry should be considered carefully as it can distract, but if you typically wear jewelry and it is part of an outfit, bring it

• scarves and hats are great even if you’re just holding them

• glasses, sunglasses either worn or even held can be nice to give your hands something to hold

• sunflowers. because: sunflowers

styling & wardrobe: SKIN.HAIR.MAKEUP.NAILS

HAIR & MAKEUP:

The main objective is that you look like... YOU. That being said, here are some tips to arrive camera ready:

• add a bit more mascara and eye definition than you usually wear to bring out your EYES

• a bit of cheek contour is lovely to define your face shape

• LIPS: guys and girls please keep your lips hydrated and bring lip color or chapstick for touchups during the session

• I do have makeup artists to refer you to if you’d like to discuss hiring one to add to your session experience and feel extra fine!

SKIN & NAILS:

• drink plenty of water in the days prior to your session to keep your skin clear

• if you wake with skin issues that day, please don’t worry about blemishes -- I can get these in photoshop! (mis-matched coverup is actually harder to photoshop)

• EYEBROWS & NAILS: please trim, clean, polish as you like... just know that nails might be in photos and chipped polish doesn’t photograph great!
