What makes a good photo shoot isn’t always the photographers skill at taking a photograph.  It’s the photographers ability to capture who you are – your sense of style.   This page is designed to help people who are about to go out on a photo shoot with me.  It is a starting point were you can start to think about the all important questions: what should I wear to my photo shoot? Where should we do our shoot? and what should I expect?

What to Expect:

We will probably meet at the location. I will have my camera ready to go! The shoot typically lasts about an hour but this depends on how many outfit or location changes you want. When we first meet we will go over everything you want out of the shoot and set a deadline of when you will have your photos by. From there, we start rocking it out and shooting!

Lighting and Location:

You should feel free to pick the location of the shoot! Think of places that mean something to you. You might pick a coffee shop, a part of campus, an old alley with cool graffiti on the wall…anything! However if you can’t think of anywhere you would like to shoot, let me know. I keep a list of good locations to shoot. We will be able to work something out.

Please remember, I am a natural light photographer. This means I need sun light to shoot. So please, try to not t pick inside locations. Also the best natural light is just after sunrise or just before sun set. I will work with you when you schedule a shoot to set the best time of day to take your photos.

What to think about wearing, GIRLS:

Feel free to bring a suitcase to the shoot!!!  Remember to wear what helps to define who you and your style. Jeans with holes, hats, scarfs, ties, necklaces, rings, summer dresses, sparkley dresses, cowboy boots and even your prom gowns! Be bold and funky with your fashion choice but mostly importantly be yourself.  Please try to avoid wearing all white or all black clothing.

What to think about wearing, BOYS:
Wear your favorite worn denim jeans, and lots of layers. Button downs, ties, muscle tee’s, prints, and jackets! Whatever reflects your style!  Flip flops, vans, or converse are great!

*I strongly discourage plain white tee’s, and big white tennis shoes.
* Also feel free to bring props!  Bring a football, your car, books etc.  Anything that helps show who you are!
