Welcome to What You Need to Know About Your Photographs.
Here are Meet to Marry Tips for Your amazing photographs:
1. You want your photographs to reflect who you really are so I want you to look into the camera as though you’re looking into the eyes of the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with.
2. This is a casual shoot where you feel super relaxed and comfortable, so photos of you in a business suit or for your website is not the look we’re going for.
3. Here are some sample photos to give you an idea of what we are looking to create.
4. The day of your shoot, be sure to wear clothing and outfits you feel great in and that accentuate your best features.
5. You’ll need one head shot and one body shot at the end of day. Why? You’ll be inviting people to view your amazing profile and to see you as you are now. Your face and your body–the whole picture of you. You’ll have amazing recent photos so there’s no confusion. You want the person to read and see photos and choose “I want to meet this person” or “I don’t”. It’s that simple. Big time saver!
6. This is obvious, but needs to be stated: Just 2 photos. The no-no’s are blurry photos, old photos, photos where someone is cut out, photos from a safari or the beach where you’re wearing sun glasses and can’t see your eyes. Put your best self forward!
7. Wear your hear the way you’ll show up on the date. So if you have curly hair and you straighten it once a year, take your photos with curly hair. You want the person to see you as you are.
8.
