Amy Stern understands that preparing for a dating photoshoot can feel overwhelming. However, with the right guidance, Amy can make the experience seamless and enjoyable. Here's how to prep and what you can expect, along with the benefits of investing in professional dating photography.

How to Prepare for Your Photosession

  • Choose the Right Outfits: Pick outfits that reflect your personality and style. Select colors that complement you and that you feel comfortable wearing. Aim for a few casual looks and one more dressy. 
  • Location Matters: Think about locations that resonate with you. Whether it’s a lively café or a serene park, or in your backyard, think about what you want to show off and also where you may be most like yourself.
  • Practice Makes Perfect: Familiarize yourself with posing. Practice in front of a mirror to find angles that work for you, or consider downloading a few inspiration poses before the shoot. If you are clueless, don't worry, Amy will guide you through the most flattering angles.
  • Bring a Friend: If you would like, bring a friend or a trusted individual to help you feel more comfortable during the shoot. Their moral support can be invaluable.
