TRANSFORMING INTO
AMAZING HOW MANY LOOKS SHOULD I BRING? I like to encourage my clients to bring at LEAST three completely unique looks, complete with shoes, scarves, hats, sunglasses, and jewelry. Given that we will have at least two hours together, you’ll have enough time for those and more. Stretch this to FIVE looks if possible!
WHERE DO I BEGIN CHOOSING COLORS AND STYLES? Two criteria should help you planning your wardrobe:
1 2
Where are we shooting? If we’re in a natural setting, consider using flowing fabrics and bold colors that will stand out against the scenery. An urban setting calls for edgier clothing - often darker and more tailored, so your wardrobe doesn’t clash with graffiti or the buildings.
Where will your photos be displayed? If your family plans to purchase canvases or prints to put in the home, think about the colors that will work best in that setting. Make sure at least one of your outfits blends well with your family’s decor.
WHAT ABOUT HAIR AND MAKEUP? Your session includes FANTASTIC hair & makeup services (providing we are booking your session at least a month in advance!) which will be applied by our partner Makeup Artist either at the studio or at a nearby location, depending on your session time and date. These artists truly know how to create gorgeous, camera-ready
looks that will make you glow for your session. If you’re worried about your skin - fear not! Your final photos will be retouched beautifully, so just relax and enjoy your session. You’re going to look spectacular! i

MAX STYLE
Not a fan of shopping? Clothing and fashion just not your thing? Guess what... They’re not my cup of tea either! If you’re looking for instant wardrobe success with minimal effort, try a minimalist
color palette with the colors above. These tones work in almost any background, and photograph beautifully on location and instudio. Pair them with some gold or silver accessories, a pair of neutral shoes (or go barefoot!) and you’ll be portrait-ready in no time at all. i
