📸 Frequently Asked Questions FAQ for the photo session

Everything you need to feel confident and excited for your photo session!

What should I expect during my photo session?

Your session is designed to be relaxed, personalized, and fun! I’ll guide you through poses and prompts that highlight personality and genuine moments. For pets or young children, we'll allow time for sniffing, settling, or silliness—because magic happens in the candid moments.

What should I wear for my session?

Great question! Here are a few tips:

  • Stick to solids or subtle patterns – Bold prints can distract from faces.

  • Coordinate, don’t match – Choose a palette of 2–3 complementary colors across outfits.

  • Dress for your setting – If we’re shooting outdoors, think textures like knits and denim. For indoor or studio sessions, sleek or cozy looks photograph beautifully.

  • For pets: a fresh grooming, clean collar, or a stylish accessory can make all the difference!

How should I prepare before the session?

To get the most out of your shoot:

  • Get a good night’s sleep – Rested faces = vibrant expressions.

  • Bring treats or toys for pets – A little motivation goes a long way.

  • Hydrate, relax, and arrive early – This sets a calm, easy pace for everyone.

  • Avoid rushing – I build in buffer time so you can settle in and enjoy.

How can I display my prints beautifully at home?

Your images deserve a spotlight! Here are some pro tips:

  • Gallery wall magic – Arrange 2–5 prints of varied sizes in a cohesive layout. Think triangle shapes or linear arrangements for balance.

  • Statement piece – Choose one large canvas or metal print to anchor a room, like over the sofa or mantel.

  • Mix it up – Combine framed prints with shelf displays, textiles, or wall-mounted ledges.

  • Let the vibe guide you – For bold, modern rooms, metal prints shine. For cozy, intimate spaces, canvas or framed prints add warmth.
