Guidelines for your session

General

It is important to focus on the individual and create a session with passion.  You should refrain from wearing clothing that is too loud that will ultimately take away from your photos unless this is a fashion shoot where the rules are different.  Sessions can take place in my home studio, your residence, or any public location.  I have some favorites that I like if this is required.

Weddings

It is your day; I will only capture the moments.  Your day can be anything you want it to be.  My preference is to take pictures at the rehearsal to get in touch with the surroundings.  This is included in my services.

Maternity

This is probably the most amazing moment in a women’s life.  The focus here is to capture your beauty and celebrate your new curves.  By yourself or with your partner, it is important to remember that we will be looking for the passion within.  It is a good idea to bring a variety of clothing but wear loose fitting clothes prior as not to leave mark on your body.  Any items that would accentuate your baby, solid colored dresses,  lingerie, white or black tube tops, etc.  For both men and women it is good to bring white shirts (blouse) and jeans.   It is also important to remember that your hands will take centre stage in many pictures therefore it is better to go with neutral color or French manicure instead of bold colors.  Special attention to hair and makeup and if you have long hair it should be styled in a way that take it away from your face.

Newborns

The first pictures should be taking within the first two weeks.  These sessions tend to take longer as the baby’s needs are more important.  Opportunities to take amazing photos will happen when your baby is content.  Average session can be anywhere from 2 – 4 hours.

Most photographs are done au natural and some props can be used.  You should bring item of sentiment like a favorite blanket or teddy bear.
