Nicolle’s Guide: How to Perfectly Prepare for Your Eternal Frames Photo Session

Hello everyone,

I’m Nicolle, co-founder of Eternal Frames, your go-to for heartfelt and memorable photography in College Station and Houston. As someone who’s been behind the lens for countless photo sessions, from Texas A&M Senior celebrations to intimate engagement shoots, I know a thing or two about preparing for the perfect photography experience.

Here’s my personal guide to help you get ready:

1. Selecting Your Wardrobe:

  • For Family and Couple Portraits: Choose harmonizing colors to create a unified look without being identical.

  • For Senior Portraits and Professional Headshots: Pick outfits that express your individuality and fit well.

    Tip: Lay out your outfits a few days before the session to ensure everything is ready and wrinkle-free.

2. Choosing the Ideal Location:

  • We have a portfolio of stunning locations around College Station and Houston perfect for any session.

  • If you have a special place in mind, whether it’s for your engagement session or family portraits, let’s chat!

3. Visualizing Your Session’s Theme and Style:

  • Whether it’s a whimsical engagement session or a professional headshot in Texas, think about the vibe you’re going for.

  • Share your ideas with me during our consultation. Your vision is our creative blueprint.

4. Incorporating Personal Touches:

  • Bring along meaningful props. For graduation photos, think about including your cap or a banner.

  • For family sessions, items that tell your family’s story, like a handmade quilt or a favorite book, are wonderful.

5. Posing with Ease:

  • Take some time to practice relaxed poses, but remember, I’ll guide you throughout the session for the best results.

  • Authenticity shines, so just be yourself!

6. Grooming Tips:

  • Opt for a natural makeup look and hairstyles that you feel confident in.

  • Men, a neat appearance always photographs well.

7. The Night Before:

  • Ensure you get ample sleep and stay hydrated for a fresh look.

8. Session Day Essentials:

  • Arrive on time to make the most of your photo session, especially if you’ve booked a mini-session or a specific time slot for events or headshots.

  • Bring a joyful attitude – photography is about capturing the essence of your spirit!
