Plan & Prepare

How to prepare for your photo session:

Plan on a session lasting 1-2 hours. On location shoots must be within a 25 mile radius from the Fontana area. Anything beyond 25 miles is subject to additional travel fees.

The most important thing about clothing is to keep it simple. Busy clothes detract from your face. Solids with pops of color work best with no words or pictures on the front. Denim material also photographs well in black and white.

Senior Portrait Sessions:

Plan on what props you will want to include in your picture (ie. letterman jacket, musical instrument, sports equipment). I have a small selection of cap and gown colors.

Maternity Sessions:

This is a time to relax and focus on yourself. It is best to schedule your session on a day when you don't have other appointments and we can fully concentrate on you.

Eat a light snack before the session. (Pregnant Mamas need their nourishment)

Clothing is a personal choice, and is optional. I will provide a few selections of scarves and drapes. You can also have as many wardrobe changes as you want. Pick items that you feel especially beautiful in.

Newborn/Family Sessions:

Schedule your session at a time when your children are most likely to be rested and fed.

I suggest for newborns, to book your session within 10 days of their birth. They are only that small for a short period of time, and I love to capture them while they are still so tiny. I also suggest that you keep them awake as long as you can before our arrival, then feed them while I am setting up. This allows them to be sleepy around the time we start your session.

Call to reschedule if your child is sick. It's no fun for them, and you won't get the kind of images you would like.
