Tips for a great shoot!

Thank you for booking a photoshoot with Annika Alexandra Photography!

Here are a few recommendations to have a great shoot!

-Ensure that everyone (adults & kids) ate a snack before the shoot. It will give everyone more energy and the little ones will be in a better mood! Feel free to bring snacks for the little ones that won’t stain their clothes such as pretzels and goldfish.

-For little ones, plan for the shoot to be earlier in the day or a little after their nap, you  want them to be in a positive, energetic mood!

-Leave your sunglasses in the car. The photoshoot is pretty fast paced, you don’t want to be caught as the one wearing them in an amazing photo!

-Make sure your pockets are empty of anything bulky: house keys, wallet, phone. Bring only what is necessary!

-If you are going to wear clothing that easily wrinkles, it may be best to arrive a little early and put it on when you get to your shoot. Wrinkles cause shadows that are obvious in photos. 

-Remove any hair ties/scrunchies from your wrists.

-Ladies, if you are wearing a tanktop style or strapless shirt/dress, please wear a strapless bra. If possible cut off the hanger loops, they tend to peek out!

-Feel free to make your session personalized and fun by bringing props. Your portrait session is about you so it only makes sense to have some items that will showcase your personality. I encourage my clients to bring items that represent them, their family, and/or their hobbies. 

-Minor editing is included, extensive editing would be an additional cost.

Feel free to contact me with any other questions! The most important thing for you to do is just to relax, make memories and have fun!!
