Style Guide
Creating timeless, natural, and beautiful images together
Thank you for choosing me to capture your moments. Whether you're solo, with a partner, or with your family, I'm excited to guide you through the process to make the most out of your photography session.
This guide will walk you through preparation, styling, and what to expect, all while reflecting my signature photography style: true to color, light and airy, organic, and golden hour. These tips will help us create natural, beautiful, and timeless images.
For Couples
Colors
Neutrals like beige, tan, and cream, combined with muted shades of blue, green, or blush, complement the organic vibe. For example:
Textures
Opt for soft fabrics like linen, cotton, or flowy dresses. Avoid bold patterns, which can be distracting in the final image. Examples include:
- Linen button-down shirts
- Cotton sundresses
- Chiffon maxi skirts
- Knit sweaters
- Soft denim
Coordination
Choose outfits that complement each other but aren't identical. Think of outfits in similar tones or shades that tie together for a cohesive look.
Posing
I'll guide you into poses that feel natural, like walking hand-in-hand or leaning into each other. You'll also have candid moments of laughter or quiet intimacy, allowing your relationship to shine through the images.
For Families
Colors
Neutrals and soft tones across the whole family will create unity. Think whites, creams, tans, and pastels. Avoid overly bright or bold patterns that can pull focus.
Textures
Flowy dresses, simple knit sweaters, and light layers work well for families, as they add dimension without feeling heavy in the photos.
For the Little Ones
Comfort is key! Make sure they can move and play freely in their outfits. Adding a special toy or comfort item can help them feel more at ease, which leads to more natural smiles and interactions.
Posing
I encourage lots of movement, whether it's walking together, playing, or snuggling. The more natural the interactions, the better the final images. Candid moments of laughter, hugs, and play will reflect your family's personality.
Preparation Tips
Golden Hour Timing
I love shooting during golden hour—the first hour after sunrise or the last hour before sunset—because of the soft, warm lighting that enhances natural tones. Sessions will be scheduled during these times to achieve that organic, glowing aesthetic.
Location
We'll collaborate to choose a location that complements my style. Whether it's an open field, a tree farm, or a quiet urban spot, the setting will be natural and help us create a serene, organic feel.
Hair and Makeup
Keep it simple and natural. Light and airy photography complements soft makeup looks and natural hairstyles. For women, consider loose waves or a messy bun. Men should aim for clean and neat grooming.
Be Yourself
The best photos come from genuine interaction. Whether you're laughing, playing, or simply relaxing, being yourself is the key to capturing beautiful, timeless images.
