SARAH'S
SESSION TIPS

for how to get the most out of your photoshoot

IMG_0188.jpg

OUTFIT(S):

  • All sessions include a style consultation where we will discuss colors, outfits, props, and desired looks.

  • Clothes and shoes should be comfortable and appropriate to the occasion being photographed.

LOCATION(S):

  • For most sessions, the location is your choice. If you love a particular park or area on campus, make sure to let me know!

  • If you are graduating from college, it is recommended to take photos on your school's campus or off-campus streets/"downtown".

  • A list of location ideas is provided below!

POSING:

  • A little camera-shy or not used to it? Check out Pinterest for pose ideas but don't sweat it!

    • Some recommended searches: "senior pictures," "couples photography," "graduation pictures," etc.​

  • Feel free to tell me pose ideas you have thought of and know that you want to capture!

WORKING WITH CHILDREN:

  • I always make sure to prioritize child's comfort and energy levels when taking photos. Every child has a different reaction to being in front of a camera, especially if it is their first time!

  • Depending on the child's age, I recommend bringing a snack or toy. 

    • I typically bring a wagon when terrain allows to carry any extra supplies or props, which clients are welcome to use.

LOCATION IDEAS:

  • Parks: Ault Park, Eden Park, Smale Riverfront Park, Sharon Woods, Summit Park

  • Downtowns: Cincinnati, Historic Lebanon, Loveland, Mason, Milford

  • Special locations: Krohn Conservatory, Cincinnati Zoo, Kings Island (potential upcharge)

  • Always open to new locations and ideas in the Greater Cincinnati area!
