General Housekeeping

– LATE POLICY : Please note that clients arriving to their session ten minutes or more past our agreed upon start time will kindly be asked to reschedule their session for the next available session date. Light plays a large role in my photography and the images we’ll be capturing together, as such, sessions are time-sensitive. Please note that a re-booking fee may be required if sessions need to be rescheduled due to tardiness.

All images will be edited in the consistent style found throughout Ali Lauren’s portfolio and recent work.

I can not guarantee their storage past six months so please ensure you have a copy of your images saved on a second flash drive or external hard drive in a separate location from the delivered flash drive in addition to copy saved in an online cloud storage to ensure their safety.

What to Wear?

– Wear clothes you feel great in!  If you feel good, it will photograph as such.

– Solid colors (however, please avoid neon colors) tend to photograph better than high-contrast prints.  Please try to avoid bold logos.

– For couples and families, your outfits should coordinate/complement each other, but don’t feel the need to get too matchy matchy.  Outfits in the same tones (either warm or cool) photograph great.  If you plan on wearing the same color, try doing so by choosing pieces in varying hues or shades.  Google and Pinterest have a wealth of ideas if you need some inspiration!  I’ve created a family session clothing inspiration board here: http://www.pinterest.com/alilauren11/what-to-wear-family/  and a couples session clothing inspiration board here: http://www.pinterest.com/alilauren11/what-to-wear-engagementcouples/

– Most importantly, be yourself! Ultimately, this shoot is about you and it’s these little details that make the photos uniquely yours.  *Please note, if you have a certain look in mind, we can find a location to coordinate your style/outfit choice as well so please do not hesitate to ask me about this.

– I’m all about the details, so please be aware that your hands etc. may be featured in a photograph, or two!

Most Important!

– Have fun and interact with each other!  It’s my job to capture you as a couple or family, so show me your personalities.  This shoot is all about you, so show me who you are.

– Families : Get your children laughing!  Play with them.  Please feel free to bring along a favorite book, toy, bubbles, etc.  You interacting as a family is what I want to capture 🙂

– Couples : Flirt, laugh, smile, cuddle, play, hug, kiss, love!  You’re in love and I want to capture it!

– I always give guidance for poses, body placement, etc. but from there, I encourage interaction between you and your family or you and your partner.  It is my job to find the light and pose you, all I need you to do is have fun and enjoy yourselves
