Accepted Answer

The Free Spirit Session is design for those who love to thrift and have a unique sense of style.  Clients wanting to book a Free Spirit session will need to submit 4 to 5 outfits to me prior to session deposit.  If the outfits do fit for this session, my Personality Session would be a better fit for you.

Question 4

What should I wear to my shoot?

Accepted Answer

COLOR, COLOR COLOR. You can’t go wrong with colors! Crazy patterns, Color Blocking, African prints you name it.   It’s always great to bring a few accessories with you. A cute hat or a stylish jacket can transform you from one look into another without the need for a complete wardrobe change. When making your clothing selection(s) please consider the cut of your top. Also, if you are thinking of wearing a dress or skirt, please keep in mind that we will be moving around a lot. Make sure to choose attire in which you will be comfortable and able to move. That said, dresses can make for some really fun and dramatic pictures! Please check out BGKI on Pinterest.

Unfortunately, NO! Your makeup artist maybe super talented, but I personally Like to work with the MUA's I've worked with in the past due to editing purposes.
