Engagement sessions...guidelines!

When we do engagement sessions, we have some suggestions that you should follow to make the image a keeper!!!

Engagement sitting Tips to consider.....

1. Chose outfits that fit your personality and make you feel attractive. Make sure you both create a sense of unity..it is truly best if both of you coordinate each other..after all, you are portraying yourselves as a unit! Avoid heavy patterns or strips. Solid, neutral colors like earth tones look great, as do denim and white!. Please avoid wearing short skirts or shorts. This makes posing more difficult. Instead long flowing dresses, jeans or khakis make better selections.

2. Start thinking about props! This can make your photograph unique. Consider a picnic basket, wine glasses, a musical instrument or even pets. We can also work with larger objects such as: boats, sport cars, planes, or motorcycles.

3. Don't worry about the location! Choose your wardrobe and props and we will discuss location and times with you. We have access to many places..just tell us what you’re thinking and we will create the rest!

4. Become alert to interesting photographs. Look out for romantic post cards or magazine advertisements!

5. Keep in mind, many couples chose to utilize their portrait to display at their reception.

6. Finally, consider bringing a sister, brother, or friend along. We can just as easily do 2 or 3 sittings at the same time as one! Give Mom the family portrait she has been wanting.

7. Have fun! It may be suggestion seven, but it's rule #1
