How to Look Better In Portraits
There isn’t just one thing you can do to look better in your portraits. Instead, it’s a combination of little, easy steps that add up to better quality photos. This is called “styling” and it’s why before every portrait session, we start with a planning call to discuss the details of the portraits you want. This call will also help me prepare accordingly for the look you’re going for.
If this all feels overwhelming, don’t worry! I’m here to help! If you’d like to learn more about my process or check out some of the stuff we’ll cover in your styling call, you can check out the following posts below,
