First Off…

We’ll get into what to wear + what to expect while shooting in a sec, but I figured it’d be good to start with the more general, all-around tips first!

Block off the day

If you can, block off the whole (or half) day + do something fun or relaxing before getting ready! Not rushing means not stressing which means everyone has a wayyyy better time. No worries if you’re running late! I’ll still make it work as best I can! Just keep in mind that I’m limited with the amount of light around us, so once the sun’s gone, that’s it!

Schedule more time than you think you’ll need!

Honestly this is something I personally need to live by on a daily basis Keep in mind that traffic might make what’s usually a 30 minute drive into an hour drive! What I like to do before heading to a shoot is mapping the way to get there a day or two before, around the same time I’d be leaving for the actual shoot. That way I get a more accurate guess as to how long it typically takes to get there with the level of traffic during that time frame.
