Everything You Need to Know to Prepare!

We know how stressful it can feel to prepare for a photo shoot! It isn't something you do every day, so there is uncertainty when deciding what to bring, etc.

To-Do Timeline:

One week before:

• Hair Color - if you need highlights or color, please have it done in the days before the shoot. I want you to feel completely comfortable and not worried about roots!
• If you wax, wax your face, upper lip, eye brows, etc. Definitely give yourself a few days to heal from redness.
• Avoid getting a sunburn or tan lines prior to your shoot.
• Do you have your clothing choices picked out? Call us if you have questions or want to review your selections!
•  

Three Days Before the Shoot:

• How do your nails look? 
• It is sometimes overlooked, but makes a huge difference in how you feel if fingernail polish is chipped. We recommend a neutral color .
• If a blemish has decided to make an appearance, leave it be, as it's an easy edit to remove (the magic of photo editing!)
• Drink lots of water in the days before the shoot (great for the skin)!

The Day Before the Shoot:

• Iron the clothes you will be photographed in (or pick up from the cleaner).
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and allow yourself a good night's sleep. Don't worry too much if you have dark circles the day of your shoot (again, the magic of editing).
• Touch up your Touch up your eyebrows. up your eyebr

The Morning of the Shoot:

• Moisturize with a gentle lotion or oil.
• Check your finger nails for dirt and check the corners of your eyes for “eye goop”.
• Take a few minutes to relax and pamper yourself. 

Come to the shoot with:

• Your wardrobe selections.
•  Jewelry.
•  Props (if using any).
• Shoes.
• Under garments that match your wardrobe selections.
• One extra outfit that might be fun to try out for the shoot.

Stay calm and relax! I direct everything, so you won't have to worry about where to put your hands, etc. And I 

promise not to say "cheese".
