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 carbonated beverages the 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 outfits ironed/pressed, accessories, and shoes ready and set aside. Look up directions to location. Give yourself enough time before your session to have a 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 the way you would normally for an important occasion. 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

Wardrobe Tips

Be as casual or dressy as you like. It is up to you. Make sure your outfit is not wrinkled. Prints, or small subtle graphics are okay. Avoid overly “loud” colors, large logos, graphics and text.These are simple guidelines. The most important thing to remember is to wear something that represents you and makes you feel good. Be sure to do a mirror fit check the week of your scheduled photo-shoot. Sneakers or dress shoes, check your footwear to make sure they are clean and looking good.

UPTOWN Cheapskate, Vintage shops, Ross and TJMaxx, are great places to check out if you feel like expanding your options. Don't forget shoes, hats or accessories you’d like to include.
