WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING?
DON'T BE. HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS.
What locations will we take photos at?
You don't have to be totally prepared for your session beforehand - I am here to help! I may know locations you don't know about, may be inspired by your outfits, and will find the perfect location to fit the style, colors, and vibe of each session. You can look at my galleries and my insta page (@tastetheworld) for inspo.
I have studio spaces in Tulsa and love traveling around the area to shoot outdoors or at cool locations. If you have somewhere specific in mind, let's talk about it!
Do you offer hair or makeup?
I have a whole team of amazing stylists that I call on. You can add styling on to any of my sessions. I want to help make the process as stree-free as possible!
Do I have to know how to pose?
Even though they may look perfectly posed, none of my clients came in as professional models. I guide you through the entire thing, showing you how to pose, how to create flattering looks for your images, and tell you what expressions I'm looking for. I gotchu.
What all should we do?
I will help you plan the entire thing. We can either just get beautiful pictures or we can incorporate the things you love. Arts, sports, hobbies, pets, exploring downtown, being a hippy, hanging out with your bf/gf/bff, etc. We don't have to have a "theme" for your shoots, but it's always fun to incorporate things that are important to you - especially with my families and teens. Or we can just wing it and create fun stuff. There's no pressure on you to totally figure this out beforehand - I'm on it!
What should I wear?
I can help! I suggest having a variety of options and styles. Something a little dressy, something super casual, sports/dance stuff, shorts, sweaters....it's all great! I encourage you to text me pictures as you're preparing for your session and I can help you pick what may work best. Keep in mind, too, that we can still get amazing images with SIMPLE clothes. It's about showcasing your personality more than your style. I can work my magic with any clothing options. :)
What happens if it rains?
In true Oklahoman form, I live by my radar app. If there's a chance of rain, I'll watch it and will keep you updated on the situation. Always assume we're shooting unless I say otherwise. It's not a big deal to reschedule. Also, clouds and wind are our friends! These make shoots more dynamic and interesting. Sunny days aren't all they're cracked up to be.
What season should we shoot in?
This is a popular dilemma. But each season has its own perks and you can just pick your favorite. If you need to get images in time for your school's yearbook, do your session in summer or early fall. Otherwise, choose your favorite vibe:
Summer - tans, summer clothes, wildflower fields, outdoorsy pics
Fall - cooler weather, pretty trees, Halloween, perfect sunsets
Winter - snuggly clothes, boots, dramatic outdoor pics, coffee and cocoa, MAYBE snow
Spring - green grass, new flowers blooming, cool but sunny weather, great skies
Do you travel?
Do I travel?! Ohhhh yes, honey, travel is one of my favorite things!
If you're going on a cool vacation or want the most unique photos in your school, let's chat! I've been to beaches, deserts, from California to New York to Greece!
Seriously. Let's talk about it!
