TIPS: WHEN PLANNING A PORTRAIT SESSION

TIPS:When planning a portrait session


Unlike other studios, we don’t have silly terms and conditions that prevent you from coming in if a family member is missing, but we do encourage clients to include all the family in the photo session. We understand that sometimes parents are reluctant to have their photograph taken which is fine, we know the feeling ourselves, which is why we will ensure you are comfortable throughout the session and will endeavour to make the experience all the more fun when directing you as a family, even if mum and dad only jump in the for just the first five minutes of the session and then take a back seat. The Nu:nuu photography experience is a far cry from the average sit on a fur rug, say cheese and look into the camera photo session. It is very relaxed and lots and lots of fun!


TIPS:What to wear?


Nice bright, strong bold colours! Stripes work great too! AVOID white and pale/pastel colours. Also try to avoid any small busy prints.


TIPS: What personal items can I bring along?


Anything goes! If it represents you and your life at this moment in time, BRING IT! For the ladies who say “I’m just a boring mum now” NO we bet you are not! Accessories such as hats, sunglasses and scarves work really well as do handbags and shopping bags.


Some examples of items we’ve seen in the studio so far include:


Hats, hats and hats! Lots of hats. Sunglasses – one client brought 10 pairs! He loved sunglasses! Drum kits, wii remotes, BIG chocolate cakes (yum!), and every type of musical instrument you could imagine! Newspapers, mugs, horse riding gear, art sets, flowers and we’ve even had a variety of pets including snakes and lizards! Not sure how well we would cope with spiders but will cross that bridge when we come to it (yes…we are wimps). …we would happily photograph a small pony in the studio but unfortunately no space for a race horse just yet!


...and that’s just a small example!


ALWAYS BRING TOO MUCH INSTEAD OF TOO LITTLE!


We will have a look through everything together on arrival and we will advise what will work and what might not just so we really get the best out of your session.
