How To Prepare For A Photoshoot – Ladies

Hi ladies, this one is for you.

Everyone loves looking good in their photographs. I often find that we (women) are always rushing out the door for our daily routine. Well, maybe I should speak for myself. I’m usually the one trying to apply eyeliner at the traffic lights! Know what I mean?!

Once you book your portrait shoot, take some time to slow down. Think of it as a pamper day. Something we all need every once in a while. Preparation is key for a successful session. Follow these steps and you will arrive at the studio fully prepared to deliver amazing shots.

Face:-

• Tweeze or wax eyebrows. Get it professionally done if you’re not accustomed to doing it yourself. When shaped properly, they bring out eyes, thus brightening up the face!

• Exfoliate & Moisturize your face. If you’re going to go all out into pamper mode, be sure to do your facial at least a week before your shoot.

• To avoid dry and chapped lips, apply lip balm prior to the session, as often as you remember

• Avoid drinking any alcohol, it leaves the face puffy.

• Sleep is really important. It will also help diminishing the under-eye bags.

Hair:-

• If you dye your hair, touching up your regrowth three days before your photoshoot is ideal. Get your hair trimmed by your regular stylist if you need it.

• Give your hair a deep-moisturizing treatment.

• If you’ve agreed with the photographer for a full makeover, wash your hair the day before the shoot, not the day of. Second-day hair is always more manageable.

Hands:-

• Get a manicure and pedicure or do one yourself. Clear / Neutral nail polish works well with any outfit.

• Exfoliate hands, feet and apply deep moisturizer

• Clean Your Wedding Ring. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can use a small brush and toothpaste to give your ring some extra shine

Skin:-

• Wax a few days before the shoot or if you prefer to shave, you can do this the night before. Remember to have your legs & underarms done.

• Exfoliate and moisturize your whole body.

• Avoid greasy, spicy, and salty foods which may cause breakouts

Clothes:-

• Wear a button up shirt so you don’t mess up your hair taking when taking it off

• Bring a variety of outfits that reflect who you are. Go through your wardrobe and pull out those special pieces that you may not wear on a daily basis. Bring a mix of Dark, Light & Colored.

• Mix up the necklines for variety.

• Bring Slim Fitting Clothes and avoid blousy tops that hide your shape.

To wrap it all up:-

• Clean Moisturized Skin

• 5 Outfits

• Lots of rest the night before

• Come prepared to have fun!
