What to wear to an engagement session?
I get this question all the time, so I wanted to add some suggestions here. Really, the main advice I give to get more out of your engagement session is to have fun with it! Don’t settle for the matching jeans and tops look. Get your make-up and hair professionally done, and bring several outfits with accessories. Realistically, we will only shoot two outfits in the time we have, but options are always good. Dressing up is always fun and accessories can really make a difference – whether it be jewelry, different shoes, scarves, or flowers for your hair 
. For more inspiration, you can always search past engagement sessions to see what you like or don’t like. Also, feel free to bring props! Nothing too overboard or anything, but if you serenade your sweetheart with a guitar every night, we could incorporate it in a few shots. Or if you consider yourselves a bit quirky or romantic or fun, you could bring a bunch of balloons, a kite, a vintage bicycle built for two - the skies the limit! I’m always thrilled when people infuse their personalities into the session!
What to wear to a portrait session?
Depending on what type of portrait session you are doing, my advice is always to dress your best and if possible, get your hair and make-up professionally done - even if you are going for a more natural look. It really makes a difference in the images. You can bring several outfits and accessories, and we’ll go over everything before the shoot to find the best clothes to fit the location and the look you are going for. Also, feel free to bring props for your shoot that fit your personality - this helps in creating a more “lifestyle” feel to the images as well.
For children’s portraits, definitely bring several outfits and their favorite toys! Scarves, hats, and other accessories look especially cute and unique in images.
