When booking new clients, we are prepared to answer a string of frequently asked questions! We want our clients to feel prepared, confident, and excited for their upcoming session, so we wanted to create a blog post acknowledging and answering some of the most common questions we get in reference to our photo session packages!
What to wear:
Depending on what your session is for, like engagement photos, I suggest having two outfits for an outfit change, usually starting with something more dressy and then switching to something that is more casual. When picking out outfits (and trying to coordinate with your significant other) I suggest picking one color palette/pattern and then work off of that to coordinate everything else. For example- if have a floral dress that has three colors in the pattern, pick one of the colors in the pattern for his shirt so you are coordinated but not matching or clashing patterns. Avoid super bright colors, like neons, but ultimately wear what you feel comfortable in. These pictures are a moment in time but you will look back on them often. I also encourage layer and accessories, they look so good in photos and add some extra dimension!
Where do you take the pictures:
There are so many great locations out there, and I really look to my clients to see what vibe/look they are wanting and then suggest a location from there! All photo locations are typically within the greater Charlotte area, but I am happy to travel. I also give my clients a link to view sessions similar to what they are looking for, and if a session location stands out to them, they let me know and then we can choose to photograph there. My go-to locations the past year have been Glencairn Garden in Rock Hill, The Ivy Place in Lancaster, and the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill.
How long is the session:
Most sessions are an hour long and we are usually in one outfit for half the session and one outfit for the other. Some people only have one outfit and that is totally fine, the session is still just as long and we will get a variety of great poses all through out the location of your choosing.
When will I get my pictures back after the session:
Most sessions I turn around in two weeks, if it’s not during the busy wedding season I can get them turned around sooner! If there is a rush or urgent need just let me know and I can always work with you to get them to you in time.
