Portrait Sessions

Where will my session take place?

Most sessions will take place on location using natural light to create the most natural looking portraits. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest we are blessed with an abundant amount of locations to choose- from fun and funky urban streets to lush green fields. If weather does not permit an outdoor session or if an indoor session is preferred, I would be happy to come to your home for your session or we can utilize my own home studio. If you aren't sure of a location, feel free to ask and I will gladly suggest some.

How long will my session last?

Session lengths vary depending on the type of session however your session will generally last between 1-3 hours. We will capture a variety of images and take as many stops as needed for breaks, snacks, wardrobe/diaper changes, etc. Your session should be relaxed and fun!

What should I wear?

Your clothing should reflect you! Jeans are always good for a timeless look. Please try to avoid bold patterns as they tend to draw the focus in a portrait. For more than one person, wardrobe does not have to match however it is a good idea to coordinate outfits and choose colors that will compliment each other.

What should I bring?

If you plan on having wardrobe changes, please be sure to bring all outfit changes as well as the appropriate shoes, undergarments, accessories for each outfit. We want your portraits to reflect your style- hats, scarfs, favorite musical instruments, etc. are all items that we will be happy to include in your session. If we are photographing children, please bring a favorite toy of theirs that may help them to feel comfortable.
