Three Reasons to share your Photo Session with your Best Friend
Want to halve your cost and double your fun? Share your photo session with your Best Friend.
Not only will you get plenty of great individual images, you’ll also:
1) Feel more relaxed and less awkward in front of the camera – your BFF can always get candid smiles.
2) Have someone else there to help boost your confidence, fix your hair and makeup (and plan what you’re going to wear together before the session).
3) Document who’s important in your life – you’ll have great professional photos together now and also to look back on.

So why not celebrate your friendship and share your Portrait Session with your best friend.

Tips for a Best Friend Photo Session:
- Plan together what you’re going to wear – for the combo images – you want the same style and level of dressiness of your outfits
- Coordinate on props – we used a flower bouquet to bring some color into this park setting
- Be an extra set of eyes for your friend – make sure her hair doesn’t have flyaways, check if her shirt is crooked, let her know if her lipstick needs a touch-up, etc.
- Be a cheerleader – let your friend know how great she looks and help get natural smiles when she’s in front of the camera
- Have fun!
