Her sister had purchased a gift certificate for Nichole as a
birthday present. So it was a lovely and exciting surprise for her.
While Nichole was getting her hair and make-up done in the
studio, I put together Nichole’s outfits. Through her clothes I could already
tell her personality and it dawned on me. I ask every client to bring a
selection of their favourite clothing which can be teamed up with some of the
accessories I have in the studio. I then style their outfits for the shoot
while they are getting pampered. I realised that all my clients’ outfits suit
their personalities. For example Nichole had brought some bikinis, sarongs,
bold jewellery, denim and a funky tasselled top which straight away told me how I
was going to photograph her. 
I’m sure by looking at the images you will understand what I mean. You can see this woman is confident, relaxed and is herself, the outfits compliment her beautifully (and Daniella, again did an amazing job on her hair and make-up).
So think about what you are bringing to your shoot. Remember these are photographs that are about
you and will be with you forever. If you choose outfits that you know suit you,
you will never look back and go “ewww what was I wearing” because you will look
amazing and comfortable in them.
