Day/Time: 

The best lighting for outdoor photoshoots is close to sunset! In the summer, that’s around 9 PM, while in the winter, it’s closer to 5 PM. If you’re unsure, you can check Google or simply mention that you want golden hour in the notes—I’ll schedule you for the best available lighting that evening. For indoor sessions, time of day doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t dark outside! If you have a deadline, keep in mind that galleries take 2-3 weeks to be delivered. I accept bookings Thursday–Sunday, keeping Monday–Wednesday open for editing, communication, and administrative tasks.

​

​​Location: 

Choosing a location that’s meaningful to you can make your session even more special—think of places like your first date spot, your favorite soccer field, a coffee shop you frequent, or even your home. If nothing comes to mind, I have a list of suggested locations in the booking tool, including Pioneers Park, Holmes Lake, and downtown.

Still undecided? No problem! We can finalize the location as your session gets closer. If you’re booking outside of Lincoln, NE, we may need to adjust the time for travel, and keep in mind that a mileage fee applies for locations outside of Lincoln.​

Outfits:

You might not be thinking about outfits just yet, but when you do, choose something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. The colors and styles matter less than how you feel in them! Props can also help you feel more at ease in front of the camera and add personality to your session. Some fun ideas include: Maternity: Ultrasound photos, Engagement: Champagne bottle, Seniors: Confetti
