Hello guys!

Your love session is getting closer, and I’m so excited to see you soon!

LOVE SESSION TIPS

  • Accessories & Details:

    Hats, sunglasses, a bouquet, a bottle of champagne, or even your favorite book — anything that reflects your style and love story can be a beautiful personal touch.

    Also — don’t forget comfy shoes!

    If you’re planning to wear heels, I highly recommend bringing flat shoes or sneakers to change into while we walk. San Miguel’s cobblestone streets are beautiful but uneven, and comfort will make the experience much more enjoyable!

  • Makeup Tips

    If you don’t usually wear makeup, go for a very natural look — maybe just translucent powder to avoid shine. If you’re hiring a makeup artist, let them know it’s for a photo session so they can adjust for natural light and camera settings.

  • Outfits:

    Something a bit dressy — think flowy dresses, linen, light neutrals, or earthy tones that complement the natural colors of San Miguel.

    A more casual look that feels like you — jeans, boots, or whatever you’d wear on a fun date together.

    Try to avoid loud patterns or logos — they tend to distract from your expressions. Subtle prints or textures are totally fine.

  • A little tip if you’re bringing two outfits:

    Just keep in mind that carrying a second look around San Miguel can be a bit uncomfortable at times, especially while we move between locations. I’ll help you keep things light, but I always suggest bringing a small tote or backpack that’s easy to carry.

  • Timing:

    The best light is during golden hour — early morning or about an hour before sunset. It creates that dreamy, soft glow that looks amazing in photos.

A FINAL NOTE

Let’s have fun, explore, and create something that feels like you. I’ll guide you with poses and ideas so you can relax and enjoy every minute.

See you very soon — it’s going to be an amazing day!

With love,

Ilde
