Have you ever looked through photos, maybe on an Instagram thread or Pinterest, and just been completely blown away by how absolutely gorgeous and stunning EVERY photo is? Sessions, (even yours!), can be just as dreamy (both in your experience and your photos). Let’s chat about how to make that happen by keeping these few simple things in mind:

1. Client Investment  

If you’re going to the trouble to book a session and financially invest, you need to personally invest in the experience as well (and why wouldn’t you want to, anyway?!). Your session can be as big of a deal as you want it to be, so make it one 🙂 Spend time deciding your outfits (more on that in the next section), hype up the session with your spouse and/or children, and show up genuinely wanting to be there and capture fleeting moments with your loved ones. If you’re invested, it ALWAYS shows. Trust me. You’ll feel beautiful, I’ll take charge and make sure the experience is as seamless as possible, and we really will capture some truly dreamy moments and photos you’ll come back to time and time again.

2. Wardrobe/Taking Advantage of my Client Closet  

Your wardrobe truly can make or break the vibe of your session. While it’s really important for you to be comfortable (both in terms of how you look and your ability to move freely) it’s also important to FEEL amazing. If you feel good, you look good. If you look good, you feel good. It goes both ways. Deciding how to make this happens doesn’t have to be complicated. Having a combination of Bold Colors (think deep reds, dark greens, mustards, navy, etc), Textures (velvet, knit, ruffles, layers, etc), Patterns (example: mixing stripes, floral, and solids), and Accessories (hats, bows, layers, patterned blanket to sit on, etc).

Lucky for you, I can make your selection stress-free AND free of charge. When you book a session with Crystal Lawburgh Photography you instantly gain access to my Client Closet. I have dozens of options for the entire family to choose from, PLUS I’ll help you make your selections and/or confirm your wardrobe beforehand to ensure you’re completely satisfied with your choices!

3. Location

Location matters, especially if “dreamy” is the goal. Good news, I’ll already have a handful of locations for you to choose from that I know accomplish this 🙂 Think a spot with lots of dimension (i.e. rolling hills, architecture, mature trees, tall grass and/or wild flowers etc.) NOT a flat field, yard with super short grass, or an overbearing tree line, etc).

4. Lighting  

Not a ton to discuss here, but most people correlate dreamy sessions to sunset. When the sunset is viewable all the way to the horizon, you just can’t argue with the dreaminess that view adds to a session. Now, don’t get me wrong. If you want an intimate studio session, urban vibes in downtown Indy or Greensburg, or a session in your own home, we’ll make it exactly what you want it to be and it can be your own kind of dreamy 🙂

Most important take away? If you show up ready to have a good time, we’re gonna capture magic 🙂
