The best light for photography is in the late afternoon and evening. The light is not as harsh and makes for great pictures.

I typically recommend coordinating your outfits, so that everyone's coloring works together. I suggest no bright colors like hot pinks, oranges or reds, or colors that clash, no logos, or writing on shirts, please. Denim works well nearly all the time and white, off-white and creamy tones can work with nearly every person and every season.  

Make sure your skin is matte. What this means is you don't want your skin to look shiny and reflective. You want it to look flat. No use of shimmer, glitter and shiny makeup products. We can always look into the possibilities of working with a hair and makeup artist if you'd like. 

No, mini-sessions are not conducive to my style. I am not after that one great shot but rather a collection of images for lifelong appreciation.

No, I am the exclusive photographer. Only bring those people being photographed for the session. There is no other photography allowed from family and friends during the portrait session.
