Your portraits should feel like you—not a template, not a trend, but an extension of your story. Let’s create something that captures your essence, bringing in the details that make your life yours. Here’s how to make your portrait session unique:
1. Weave Personal Details into Your Photos
The guitar you can’t put down, the well-loved book with dog-eared pages, the coffee mug that starts every morning—these aren’t just objects. They’re part of your story. Imagine sinking into a chair with your favorite record spinning in the background, tossing a ball for your dog, or arranging fresh flowers from your garden. These details bring your portraits to life.
2. Choose a Location That Means Something to You
The places we love shape us. Whether it’s the sun-drenched nook where you sip your morning coffee, the record store where you discovered your favorite band, or the trail where you feel most at peace, the right location makes all the difference. Let’s take your session somewhere that feels like home to your heart.
3. Do Something That Feels Natural
Forget awkward poses—let’s capture movement, emotion, and connection. Bake cookies in your kitchen, browse the shelves of your favorite bookstore, or twirl barefoot in your living room. Your session should feel like a page from your life, filled with the small, everyday moments that mean the most.
4. Let Your Wardrobe Tell a Story
Your style is part of who you are. Whether it’s a perfectly worn-in leather jacket, a delicate slip dress that catches the light just right, or the oversized sweater that feels like a hug, what you wear should make you feel like yourself. I’ll help you choose pieces that feel effortless, elevated, and true to you.
5. Focus on the Little Things That Matter Most
The way your fingers intertwine with your partner’s, the texture of your grandmother’s quilt draped over a chair, the golden retriever curled up at your feet—these are the moments that make your portraits yours. They’re the details that won’t just look beautiful; they’ll feel like memories.
Why Your Portrait Session Should Feel Like Home
This isn’t just about capturing how you look—it’s about preserving who you are in this moment. When you look back at your photos, I want them to feel like a time capsule, filled with emotions, places, and details that tell your story. This right here is how to make your portrait session unique.
