You've booked your session... now what?
In this post, it is my hope that all of my clients and future clients find answers to their Session related questions and guidance for how to make the most of their session with DRD!
What to Expect
The time leading up to your session can be so exciting!
The Monday before your session I will be reaching out via text or message to discuss the following:
- Location
- Exact Start Time
- Outfit Recommendations
and other various details!
If you have questions before that week, always feel free to reach out!
What to Expect
If you have never had photos done before- it can be kind of daunting! But not to worry, it will be amazing!
We begin sessions with the basic poses- I love to pose my clients with a mix of candid and traditional options in the beginning, this was we can see what type of poses you are the most comfortable with!
We typically move around a location to hit all of my favorite spots- if clients prefer a certain type of setting we typically spend more time in those spots!
And its that easy!
Choosing an Outfit
Weather plays a huge role in choosing what to wear — not just for how it looks in your photos, but also for how comfortable you feel during your session.
In the summer, heavy knits or bulky fabrics can quickly become uncomfortable under the sun. Light layers keep you cool and relaxed — and that comfort translates beautifully on camera.
In the winter, cold weather can take over the experience if you’re not prepared. This is the perfect time to embrace cozy layers to give comfort and texture to your photos!
Hair & Makeup
This one is for the girls!
When it comes to hair and makeup, there’s truly no “right” way to show up. Some girls feel most confident with a fresh, clean face and natural hair while others love a full glam moment- both are beautiful!
What matters most is choosing a look that feels authentic to who you are.
If you rarely wear makeup in your everyday life, a dramatic look might feel unfamiliar on camera and if you tend to love a full-glam look- a bare face may not be what you'd prefer!
Posing
Many clients who have never worked with me are scared that they will have to pose themselves- NOT TO WORRY- as I mentioned before, I love to try out different poses with clients until we reach a rhythm and find what makes you feel your best!
I also love to see inspiration photos from clients if they have them! It really helps bring the "vibe" all together faster!
