I love shooting people. And as much as my business has turned toward wedding & family portraits, it's generally photographing strangers which I'm used to but I'm very aware that my clients are naturally nervous while having their photo taken. It's intimidating. So I try to give my best tips upfront, and they are:
- Smile but don't smile too big unless you're laughing
- Give me options, smiling as well as straight faced
- If engagement portraits, bring a few changes of outfits for both of you
- For Senior portraits, consider bringing a prop. Something to do with a club or sport you are involved in. and definitely try to arrange it so I can get some group shots of siblings and friends, etc.
- Dog walking photos are adorable for senior portraits. Also, who doesn't need professional portraits of your dog as well as your children?!
- Open shade is the best light, so I prefer outside locations around sunset
- If it's a motion shot, we will probably need to take a bunch to get the one thats just right, so have patience
