Coordinate your outfits together, not match each other completely. You can mix some patterns together but too many patterns and colors can cause you all to clash and distract from the photograph. Please match your socks with your outfit!
This is one of my favorite photographs! This image shows how they coordinated their outfits without completely matching. If they wanted they could have used another color to provide a little more variety.
Our eyes are drawn to the brightest part of a picture so please stay away from white. Look for a color which complements your skin tone and doesn’t match your fur babies’ fur. This will add some contrast in the photograph.
Layering, wearing textures, or accessorizing with a scarf, jewelry, or hat can make for more interesting photos. If you want to include a hat, I would wear it for the last shots so you don’t mess up your hair unless you want it for the whole shoot.
Choose your clothing carefully. Clothing which is low cut, too short or too sheer can affect your photos. Keep in mind you may be kneeling, bending, or even laying with your pet to get the best shots.
Bring a towel to pat yourself so you don’t shine too much! Florida gets a little warm!
Ladies I would get your hair trimmed and/or colored a week or two before the session. Ladies do I hear a mani & pedi in your future? :) Gentlemen can usually get away with their cut closer to the session. Spray tans should be done a couple of weeks before your session. Be careful of food choices before your session to prevent staining your teeth.
Not sure about your clothing choices? Send me pictures of what you want to wear and I’ll guide you through the process. I want you to have fun and the more we prepare beforehand the smoother the shoot will go! Remember if you are comfortable, the pictures will be so much better so think about where we will be shooting and how comfortable you will be in your outfit.
