5. Your partners outfit


If your partner is going to be in the photos with you make sure they bring an outfit. Usually a button up dress shirt and nice pants, or a nice t shirt and jeans, it depends on what looks you decide to do and dont worry, we will discuss this ahead of time. Having options is not going to hurt.

A quick bite and a sip of water can help keep your energy levels up, ensuring you feel refreshed and comfortable during the session.
