In General
- Stay Calm, nothing can stain a great day like the worry and panic just take the unexpected with stride and remember to breath.
- Leave early, it's a big day and most times there are time restraints. Leaving early is always good practice, especially when you have children with you.
- Know what you want, and let the photographer know. Our job is to make sure you are happy with our product. Let us know what style you are looking for, we can do it.
What to wear?
What you wear can make or break a photo. You want to look coordinated but you may not want matching outfits. Here are a few great websites with wonderful tips for picking out the best wardrobe for your photos!
In case you want a quick version... wear something that compliments you in shape and colour! Solid dark colors compliment most every but this doesn't mean you can't wear white. Wear something you are comfortable and confident in, and something that's appropriate for the location of the shoot. When trying to match for photos wear the same tones and colours, but mix up how you wear them, there are great examples here!
Don't wear bright or bold patterns, they're distracting. Avoid wearing anything that will date you in the near future. Avoid logos and white shoes!
Bring ideas!
Photographers are creative creatures but we want to know what style you want! Discuss some ideas with your photographer what kind of photos do you want from the shoot. This means knowing your location and the natural props that are around.
Props! You love them, we love them so bring them along.
Here are a few to think about!
Other ideas may include: hats, signs, masks, balloons, decorations, favourite teddy, snow balls, sled, chalk drawings, musical interments, phones, bubbles chairs or stools...
