Before the Session

• We need to have a meeting to discuss what you have in mind.  I want to know what you are planning to wear, what styles, location and anything you might think is important.  Together we come up with a plan for the session.

Suggestions for Session Preparation

• Create a checklist for what you plan to bring to the session.  It sure is aggravating to realize that you left the dress you wanted to use at home
• Plan for hair, make up and nails if desired.  Some actually prefer the natural look, but there is nothing worse than realizing the person that normally does your hair is booked up at the last minute.
• Relax  Bring some CD's of your favorite music.  Don't let any of this get you up tight.  Remember this is fun.  

The Day of the Session

• Try not to schedule anything else just before or just after the session.  Remember this will take time.  Arriving just after a stressful meeting, or needing to get to one right after the session.  Stress will show.
• Not all the photos we will take will be keepers, and that is completely normal.  That's why we take a large number that will give you plenty of photos from which to pick, and out of the group there will be keepers.
• Speak up.  Good communication makes for a better session.
• Enjoy yourself.  Today you are royality.
