Of course not! Almost no one shows up feeling totally confident in front of the camera—and that’s completely normal. It’s not your job to know how to pose! I’ll guide you through a bunch of pose ideas tailored to the location and your personality.

Honestly, it all comes down to the look you’re going for. Do you enjoy dressing summery or more layered? It’s also worth considering practical things like yearbook deadlines or seasons that tend to get busy with school, sports, or work. If you have any scheduling questions, reach out to me and we can walk through it and find the perfect time!

Absolutely! I just recommend bringing someone along to help out and hold your pet when they’re not in the photos.

First and foremost, choose an outfit you feel confident and comfortable in. If you don’t like what you’re wearing, chances are you won’t love how the photos turn out. Keep the location in mind! If you're surrounded by a lot of green (like trees or grass), try not to wear green—you’ll blend right in. For group shots, I recommend coordinating outfits so everything looks more put together.
