A NOTE ABOUT THIS GUIDE

WELCOME

1.
NO.

I'm regularly asked if you really need an engagement session and the answer is wholeheartedly -- yes! This is the time for you to see how I work and gain trust in the poses and locations I choose for your wedding day. It's a time for me to learn what you like and don't like and what small corrections I can make during poses that, on the day of your wedding, will make your images go from ones you like a lot to ones you are absolutely obsessed with.

& why I Love a good one

THE
PLAN

2.
NO.

no way, jose

  • Being "matchy-matchy"
  • White Socks That Stick Out
  • Big Logos and Writing on Shirts
  • Small, Intricate, Busy Patterns
  • Something that just isn't YOU
  • Something uncomfortable that needs constantly adjusted

  • Hair and Makeup
  • Complementary color schemes
  • Comfortable + easy to move in
  • Flowly skirts or tops that show movement
  • Something you would wear out to a nice lunch or dinner (plus it makes the perfect reason to be dressed up)

yes! yes! yes!

styling tips

Dressing up for your session is always better than just dressing casual (even if you are jeans kind of people). You want a dressy version of yourself and it's hard to get the images you loved on my website if you are dressed for hiking.Below are my top styling tips. 

The key is be YOU but a dressy version.

Soak your ring in warm water with dishwashing soap for 20 to 40 minutes. Then gently brush the stone with a soft toothbrush, rinse and repeat if needed.

I love capturing the detail of the ring up close. If you are purchasing a vintage ring, please have it cleaned or clean it yourself.

To clean at home:

BRING CHAMPAGNE!

7.
NO.

Popping bubbly is always a great shot! If you don't want to carry it with you, just arrange to leave the bottle and glasses at the front desk or arrange for pickup at the bar and I'll bring it for you!
