Today I want to share with you about how to be more relaxed during your photography session. The first step is to talk with your photographer and have an idea of what you want to accomplish during the session. Basically, having a plan will set your mind at ease. The more you prepare for the session, the less stress you will have during the session.
Make sure you talk with your photographer about what you will be wearing. I talk with my clients about what they will wear for the session. I often get pictures of outfits all the time and I love helping my clients get the right outfit. We often plan the outfits based on what look you want to accomplish. For families, you may be looking at making pictures for keepsakes such as a wall art collection or album. This will lead you to know what you want to wear during the session to compliment your house. For business professionals, we may look at sporting your brand colors in the session and looking at what colors spark which emotions. I say the number one rule with clothing is make sure it is something you feel comfortable in because if you are comfortable it will show in your images. A great idea is if you have children is to get them involved with the planning! Have them help pick out their outfits and give them choices. For example, do you want to wear this red shirt or this blue shirt?
I work with families with and without furbabies. When working with 2 legged babies and 4 legged babies, I have found it is best to let go of what will or won’t happen at your session! Life is an adventure! Remember to giggle, laugh, and go with the flow. This should be an event you are looking forward to and not dreading! I will help guide you through the session and let you know what we need to do to accomplish the shot!
Lastly, this is important for before and during the session. I would make sure all are on board and involve them in the process. Your attitude towards the photography session will show in your images. If you are stressed, this vibe will go to everyone else and it will show in the images! I have seen this in family and professional headshot portraits.
