Preparing for Picture Day




Now that you have hired a professional photographer to take your family portrait, you may be wondering how to prepare for your sitting. Believe it or not, posing for pictures is not something that comes naturally for most folks. Here are a few pointers you can use during your Nashville TN professional photography session.

Contact your photographer in advance and ask them for ideas about props. If you have an idea for the theme or direction you want your pictures to focus on, let the photographer Nashville know in advance. This will give you both time to properly prepare for the big day and increase your chances for satisfaction.

Drink lots of water throughout the day, before picture day and get a good night’s sleep. Eat a good breakfast or lunch before your sitting. You want to feel and look refreshed for your pictures.

Try to coordinate the color of everyone’s clothing so that it does not create any clashes on the final picture. Take into consideration the color of your background and plan your outfits accordingly. Wear white or light colors if your background is a white or light color. Wear dark tones for darker backgrounds. Use accessories such as colorful jewelry, scarves, belts, and neckties to add personality into your photographs.
