5 Things you can bring to an intimate portrait session (that you might not have thought of)


Would you ever think to wear a football jersey for an intimate portrait session? Well here’s 5 things you can bring to your session that you may not have thought of!


  1. Sports jerseys - if you’re a sports fan, it can be a lot of fun to incorporate that into a portrait session!

  2. Unique interests - if you’re a dancer, musician, athlete, or have other unique or significant hobbies, bringing uniforms or props can add meaning and “personality” to your photos.

  3. Textured scarves/fabrics - some of my favorite photos involve textures! I love the juxtaposition of different textures against smooth skin.

  4. Oversized faux fur coats - The texture! The elegance! It can be impactful to have a statement piece like this.

  5. Flowy skirt - A bit of extra fabric gives us an opportunity to interact - twirl, swish, play!


Of course, you want to make sure you bring all the basics (you can see my basics suggestions here) as well as some of these fun and unique pieces that really help express your personality.
