Sample Session Ideas & Tips

• For family photos, start with casual poses, then move to more formal ones. Let children or partners suggest poses to make them comfortable.

• In a maternity session, emphasize curves, use side profiles or backlit shots. A flowing dress or sheer fabrics often look beautiful.

• For headshots, keep wardrobe simple (solid colors, minimal prints). Focus on face, eyes, and expression. Use hair & makeup to polish.

• Use props or meaningful items (baby shoes, hats, musical instruments) to personalize your shoot.

• Experiment with backdrop changes mid-session for diversity without having to relocate.
