Comfort is the secret ingredient of every good portrait. These five small preparations make the day feel easy.
1. Bring your own music
A playlist you love changes the whole mood of a studio. Bring one — seriously.
2. Eat before you arrive
Hungry people look hungry in photos. A proper meal an hour before the session keeps energy (and patience) up.
3. Bring a friend if it helps
Some people relax instantly with company; others prefer privacy. Both are fine — just tell me which one you are.
4. Plan one outfit you feel great in
Not the most fashionable one — the one you actually feel great wearing. Confidence beats trends in every frame.
5. Remember you can't do it wrong
There is no test to pass. Awkward frames cost nothing and get deleted; the good ones stay forever.
