Best time to shoot
Golden Hour (our favorite)
- Start about 45–75 minutes before sunset for soft, flattering light and glowing backgrounds.
- We’ll angle locations to keep you out of harsh light while still getting that glow.
- If you love city lights, we can push slightly later for a few dusk shots.
Other great options
- Early Morning: similar softness to golden hour with fewer crowds.
- Open Shade / Overcast: perfect for even skin tones and color. Cloudy days photograph beautifully.
- Indoor / Studio: consistent light, weather-proof, and great for minimal, editorial looks.
What to wear
Simple, flattering, coordinated
- Neutrals and earthy tones age well. Add depth with textures (knits, linen, denim, layers).
- Avoid neon/ultra-bright colors and busy micro-patterns (they can cause moiré on camera).
- Skip large logos/graphics—your faces are the focus.
- Fit matters: choose pieces you can move in; avoid anything that needs constant adjusting.
- Footwear that matches the location (heels sink in grass; bring flats as backup).
Finishing touches
- Steam or iron clothing; empty pockets (phones/wallets show as bumps).
- Hands show in photos—neat nails help. Bring lip balm/powder for shine.
- Hair down or loosely styled moves nicely with light wind; bring a brush/clip.
- Glasses: if you have a non-glare pair, bring it; otherwise we’ll work angles to avoid reflections.
- Kids & pets welcome—bring treats, a favorite toy, and a lint roller.
