WHAT TO EXPECT

for your portrait session

First off, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your photographer! I appreciate you being here!

Second, if you don’t know me already, my name is Jadan Willis. Based in Southern Lancaster County, I’m an avid runner, concert goer, type A, social butterfly. 

I’ve been doing photography for several years, dabbling in almost all the kinds there are (newborn, family, wedding, vehicle, etc.), but have settled on portrait + branding photography. 

You can read more at the button below!

CARE TO HEAR MORE?

THIS WILL BE A BREEZE

I PROMISE TO...
Pose you! You don't have to do any posing preparation beforehand (unless you want to browse Pinterest for inspiration!) I will lead the way!
I PROMISE TO...
Hype you up! It can be awkward in front of the camera, especially if this is your first session. I've got you. I'll be there chatting with you during the session + cheering you on.
I PROMISE TO...
Keep it as painless as possible! Some people dread having their photo taken. I aim to keep things moving and make it enjoyable!

OUTFITS
Location- Factor in the location for our sessions. Wearing heels in the grass likely won't end well, there are some outfits that work better in a country setting VS a city one, and consider the weather too!
OUTFITS
Comfort- I want you to feel comfortable + confident in your outfit! Nothing that needs constant adjusting or something you despise wearing. It should feel like YOU!
OUTFITS
Patterns- Stay away from tiny, intricate patterns. They can show up as wavy in the photos. Solids are always good and bigger patterns are fine! Feel free to text me a photo if you're questioning it!
OUTFITS
Colors- For my couples, there's a bit of coordination necessary to pair outfits. Aim for complimentary, not matching. Neutral, more muted colors are a great option. And feel free to mix textures!
OUTFITS
Texture- I'm open to all textures, except the pilling, lint attracting kind. You'd be surprised what all the camera catches, lol.

HAIR + MAKEUP
Do you need to get your hair and makeup done? Nope! If that's what will make you feel comfortable, then by all means, go for it! For makeup, I suggest a lighter look over a heavy one. Go easy on anything shimmery! For hair, just like with clothing, nothing that needs constant adjusting and a style that makes you feel confident!
MISC
Before you leave your house, brush and floss your teeth, check for lint and/or pet hair, and put on some chapstick/lipgloss!
MISC
Bring any necessary touch up items (hair brush, lip gloss, etc.) that you think you may need right before photos! You can do a lookover in the car mirror right before you step out. 🙂
PHONES
I recommend you leave your phone in the car or pass it off to me to keep in my camera bag so that we don't get any pocket outlines! Same goes for wallets!
POSING
Don't be surprised if I have you hold or repeat a pose! It takes a minute to perfect camera settings & photo composition, so some shots may take a few tries!
HAIRTIES & WATCHES
Make sure you take off any hairties on your wrist as well! And consider taking off your smart watch- I'll leave that up to you!
GALLERY DELIVERY
You'll receive your photos via an online gallery within 2 weeks of your session, and a sneak peek within 48 hours. You can expect at least 40 photos from a classic session, 65 from a deluxe, and 20 from a mini session.
SESSION LENGTH
Expect to spend about 45 minutes (maybe 35 minutes active time!) at a classic session, 30 minutes/location for a deluxe, and 20 minutes for a mini session.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The first few minutes are almost guaranteed to be awkward- that's okay! It takes some warming up, especially if this is your first time in front of the camera!
If you're concerned you're not "photogenic," I assure you that's not the case! I will help you with posing and you'll do amazing! 🙂
For my couples, use this as an opportunity to go out on a date night after the photos! Might as well, ya know?
Any questions? Text me at (717) 945-2405! Looking forward to our session!!
