GETTING READY FOR YOUR SESSION

REST UP

This is the most important thing you can do in the days leading up to your photo-session and for anyone sharing it with you.

STAY HYDRATED

Drink plenty of water

Limit or avoid drinking alcohol or carbonated beverages a full day before your session.

AVOID SUN EXPOSURE

Be mindful of the sun. Avoid sunburns, tan lines & spray tans. MOISTURIZE

Avoid dry, cracked lips by keeping them moisturized or using a DIY lip scrub.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Have your ironed/pressed wardrobe, accessories, and shoes ready and set aside. Look up directions to location. Give yourself enough time in the morning to have a tea or coffee and snack, and get out the door.

GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP

With your items ready to go you should wake up calm & feeling great!

HAIR AND MAKE UP

Style and groom hair and facial hair. Fresh faced, clean shaven, natural make-up, whatever your style bring your best along with any products you may need for a touch ups. (comb, hairbrush, lipgloss, etc.)

DON’T FORGET

Check for clean hands and avoid chipped nail polish on hands and feet

Stylish clothes hang from a wardrobe rack.

Wardrobe Tips

Be as casual or dressy as you like. Jeans and a favorite top, blazer, button-up or tee. It is up to you. Add an easily removable layer for a different look if you like. While we may not photograph each outfit bring several options pressed or steamed and on a hanger.

These are simple guidelines. The most important thing to remember is to wear something that represents you and makes you feel good. It’s a great time to explore your existing wardrobe. Pops of color are textures are great. Stuck? Notice a color that when worn everyone says, WOW! THAT is your color! Be sure to do a mirror “fit check” the week of your scheduled photo-shoot.

 Local Buy Nothing groups, Moss Designer Consignment , Harpersage or UPTOWN Cheapskate stores are great places to check out if you feel like expanding your options. Don't forget shoes, hats,or jewelry.
