Do these pants make my butt look big?

Sometimes we feel like we don't have the right wardrobe to be photographed, so let me help you! I’m all about taking the stress out of wardrobe choices. First, let’s decide what look you identify with. Casual jeans? Calvin Klein style? Epic glam? Traditional elegance? You choose one or all, and we’ll plan the looks and poses that will best suit you. As soon as you’ve booked your session, you’ll receive a welcome guide with everything you need to know. Here are some basic guidelines:

• Be sure to wear outfits that fit your body’s form. Whether slender or curvy, we’re going to shape your body through posing to show you at your best. Caftan tops and raglan sleeves just aren’t going to cut it here. We’ll just end up clipping the back to fit against your body anyway, so leave ‘em at home!

• Flatter your arms. If you hate your arms, be sure to wear sleeves that are at elbow length or below. Short sleeves cut off our arms right at their least attractive point. Sleeveless, cap, 3/4, princess, or full are the way to go.

• Stay away from bright patterns. We want the emphasis to be on your beautiful eyes. Bright patterns and prints tend to make portraits look like an ad for a clothing catalog! That said, clothing with great texture—embroidery, beads, sequins, lace—are all super yummy to photograph.

• Monochrome is great! Not necessarily all the same shade, but think about the top and the bottom blending into each other.

And that’s about it! If you’re still not sure about something, send me texts. I’ve seen lots of women in change rooms and closets over the years, and am happy to help.
