You *don’t* say that 🤪 You do THIS instead ⬇️
I’ve gotten this question hundreds of times from photographers. The way our clients prepare for their shoot MATTERS…but it’s actually on *us* as the photographers to guide them ahead of time! Don’t wait until your client shows up in a graphic t-shirt expecting a magazine-worthy senior session 🙅🏼‍♀️
In 13 years of being a photographer, this has happened to me COUNTLESS times. I’ve *totally* been there!
In my early photography years, I would leave sessions feeling SO stuck, because my clients weren’t prepared.
👗 So I created my 20-page, fully customizable What to Wear Guide!
It walks your seniors through:
✨ What photographs best
✨ What to wear to flatter every body type
✨ Hair, makeup, and prep
✨ How to feel confident walking into their session
So instead of hoping your clients “figure it out”…
You can support them - and finally create images you’re PROUD of every time. 🤍
Use my exact wording and copy - just drag and drop in your own images!

A new month means NEW content inside of my senior photography membership! Each month, over 400 photographers in the community get to see a real senior session from start to finish. This month, Charlotte’s gorgeous downtown Charleston senior session is featured and members are learning:
☀️ Location scouting: how I find ideal locations based on lighting and composition (see me photograph multiple spots that are brand new to me)
📸 Camera Settings: see my camera settings and WB for every shot, plus see the RAW images straight out of camera
🌸 Florals: how to find the *right* type of florals to photograph (because yes, there are some that won’t look good on camera)
💃 Posing: hear how I break down posing and work through a posing flow with my seniors while still allowing room for creativity
🚗 Cars: this senior brought along her car to her shoot (which was AMAZING) - see how I was able to pose with the car in a way that felt natural (and how we *may* have stopped traffic to get some epic shots)
If you would find it helpful to be my virtual second shooter and follow along for a FULL shoot from start to finish…just comment “Seniorhelp” down below! ⬇️

Happy from Miss Bailie and her gorgeous shoot downtown Charleston!!! A collab with + is ALWAYS a good idea 🤩🌸 Bailie and her twin brother Braxton drove all the way from TN for their senior sessions…and there was rain in the forecast every. single. day. of their 6 day stay in Charleston. We had to keep our eyes on the radar and make a game-time decision with perfect timing to get a little sunshine…and we NAILED IT ☀️ (after one failed attempt where it started lightning *right* when we arrived to our first location…but that’s besides the point 😂) more coming soooon!
