Pre-Shoot Preparation Checklist

Are you excited about your upcoming photo shoot but unsure what to do before the session? Here is a list to help you....

-Work with your photographer on the location.

-Have a list of your ideas and ask questions (preferably before the day of the shoot); that way, you can be more relaxed on the day of the shoot.

-Work on your mindset ... all will work out in the end.

-Bring clothes that are cute and comfortable.

-If it is sensual photography or boudoir, make sure you are well groomed and bring items you feel comfortable with; we want you to feel sexy.

-Keep the makeup and hairdo classic unless you do an artistic shoot.

-Pamper yourself. The day before the shoot, do things that help you relax.

-Bring a friend - sometimes, seeing a friendly face can help take the edge off.

-Breathe....taking relaxed, easy-going breaths helps stabilize the nervous system.

What NOT TO DO before a photo session....

-Don't experiment with new skin products.

-Don't spend too much time on the sun.

-Keep your diet and exercise routine light.

-Don't stay up all night.
