style guide

You will photograph in a few different outfits, so be sure to bring at least 4-6+ outfit options. The day of your session, we will go through the outfits with you and help to make sure we have the perfect outfits for your body type, skin tone, and shooting location choices.

Nude and appropriate undergarments - if you wear a strapless top or dress, be sure to bring a strapless bra option!

Clean shoes that go with each outfit

Complimentary layers

Outfits that make sense for the season

Functional clothing - if you want to get the most out of your poses, you need to be able to sit, squat, stand, etc.

A variety of outfits that show off your true personality - not ALL shorts, or dresses, or pants, etc. Mix it up!

Clothing that fits you well and accentuates your best assets - make sure to try every single piece of clothing on before bringing it to your session!





Wrinkled clothing - make sure to iron or steam everything and bring it all on hangers

Undergarments that don't match or bra straps that show

Dirty or worn out shoes

Dresses, skirts or shorts that reveal too much when moving/posing

Too many outfits of the same type or color

Leave with plenty of time to get to the studio, get all your stuff inside, and get settled in when your appointment time begins. We will need to begin hair and makeup right away so it's very important to be on time. Please don't arrive more than 5 minutes before your appointment, as we may have clients in and out of the studio.
