There is no right or wrong way to dress for your session. Your style is a large part of who you are 🔥 My only goal is that you are comfortable in whatever you choose! Casual in PJ’s, Colorful in Glam, Minimalist Neutrals, or something entirely your own. If at any point you would love input or guidance, We are a text or phone call away!

+ Accessorize: Bring hats, jewelry, jackets, whatever you love, if that’s your thing.
+ Be Yourself: Don’t wear clothes you aren’t comfortable in, it will show all over your face! Pick something you are really excited about!! 💃🏻 If you notice that you keep pulling or tugging on your clothes, you will do that in your photos, too!
+ New or Used: Unless you want brand-new clothing, it isn’t required!!
Bring what you have, and what represents you. All styles are welcome. All I ask is that you come with clothes on… Toddlers don’t abide by this, but that’s none of our business.

☐ Accessories of your choice
☐ A Change of Clothes for tiny humans
☐ Lip Balm & Lotion
☐ Brush/Comb or Makeup for touch-ups
☐ Snacks or Comfort items like fave toys or blankets
☐ A Mary Poppins Bag to fit it all in
These are all suggestions to make our time together a breeze. It’s okay if you don’t bring any or all of these things!

Got Kids?
+ Bring the Goods: If you are a Parent, you know the necessity of a favorite toy, snack or even a change of clothes!! Bring it all!
+ Let em’ run: I will never expect a child to sit still for portraits. I shoot fast and efficiently - I just need you to lean into the silliness, too 🤍 Play along :)
+ Melt Downs: Part of the gig. Kids (& Adults) have big emotions and sometimes they have them while we are shooting. If this happens, it’s okay! We will work through it and still create images you will be excited about. Please note: We do not give refunds for crying 🤣 It’s Childhood.
WANT AN AMAZING SESSION?
-
Have all outfits laid out the night before. Pack your snacks, accessories and any kid distractions in an easy to carry bag! We will also do quite a bit of walking so please bring an extra pair of shoes or sandals if you plan on wearing heels :)
-
If you don’t have any other plans - Stop by the City Museum with your partner or grab a bite to eat after your session! Maybe check out an escape room! Whatever you do, Make this day about you and your favorite people. You will already have pants on, so… why not?
-
We all want to look our best. But sometimes, striving for perfect can make us self-conscious - and that can suck the fun out of it.
No one is perfect and you are more than your looks.
When you walk into your session, meet any tough feelings or anxious thoughts with compassion. Gently guide yourself with admiration for how brave you are for showing up.
Your only job is to wear something that makes you feel good and to speak kindly to yourself. I’ll guide you through the rest :)
Just breathe - you’ve got this. And hey, thanks for existing.
