Portrait Photography

A portrait is successful when I know I’ve captured the person not thinking about having their photo taken. But instead, photographing those brief moments in-between when you see someone’s natural essence beyond the self-conscious.

Your portrait says everything about you. Make sure it powerfully communicates what you want it to say.

Intention

Before the shoot, we will have a meeting to discuss all the details about your portrait. It's important for me to understand your intention for having your new portraits done, so I can get the best outcome for you.

Location

Location is really important in a portrait shoot. It plays a key role in setting the scene and atmosphere of your shoot. We can discuss options like an AirBnB, somewhere in nature, an industrial environment etc.

Hair and Makeup

Professional hair and makeup is nice to have but it is not always necessary. It is more important that you feel natural and comfortable during the shoot. If you do prefer to accentuate your features, I can suggest some great hair and makeup artists.

Creative

If you have any ideas that you would like to bring to life, just let me know in advance and we can make it happen. Pinterest is a great resource to get ideas and inspiration.

What to Wear

It is important that you feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. With regards to your outfit, you want it to reflect your personality so choose what makes you feel empowered and confident, while still being in alignment with the purpose of the photos.

What to Bring

It's always great to have something to do with your hands, so props can be a great way to create a more natural feel in the photos.
If you do bring props make sure they are also relevant to you, and the intention of the shoot. A cup of tea, a laptop, a book, or a pet are great props to help create a more natural vibe.
