Planning for a portrait session can be exciting, whether it’s for your engagement, family, or personal branding. Here’s a simple guide to help you know what to expect and how to prepare.

Consultation and Planning:

First things first, we’ll have a chat to understand your vision and goals for the session. Whether you prefer a natural outdoor setting or a cozy indoor backdrop, we’ll discuss location options and any specific ideas you have in mind.

Choosing the Right Time and Location:

Timing matters! We’ll pick a time of day that suits your preferences for lighting and ambiance. If you’re into sunny and golden vibes, we might aim for the magical hour before sunset. As for location, think about places that resonate with you—a park, urban streets, or even your own home.

Wardrobe and Styling:

What you wear can really set the tone. We’ll chat about outfit choices that complement your personality and the vibe you’re going for. Whether it’s casual chic, formal elegance, or something quirky, I’ll help you decide what works best.

During the Session:

Don’t worry if you’re not used to being in front of the camera—I’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and reflect your personality. It’s all about capturing genuine moments and making you feel comfortable throughout.

After the Session:

Once the session wraps up, I’ll carefully select and edit the best shots. You can expect a mix of candid captures and more posed portraits, each telling its own story. We’ll review the photos together, and I’ll make sure you have stunning images to cherish and share.

Planning your portraits should be fun and stress-free. I’m here to ensure your session is enjoyable and captures your unique essence beautifully. Let’s create some amazing memories together!

If you’re an adventurous couple looking for an engagement session with a bit of exploration and a lot of natural beauty, Lighthouse Park is the place for you. Feel free to GET IN TOUCH and inquire about my availability!
