PREPARING FOR YOUR SESSION!

.

Helpful Tips!

We want you to feel and look your best the day of the photo shoot. So here are a few helpful tips to help you prepare for your session:

1. Take care of any waxing/shaving in the sensitive areas (such as bikini line) at least the 2-3 day before to avoid irritation and redness.

2. We encourage at least make-up and false lashes being done by a professional. The transformation will make you feel more confident and glamorous. Hair can range from big and messy to retro glam. It’s your session… make it you!

3. We recommend a Manicure and Pedicure for your session, they will show up in close ups!

4. Come to your session ready. Clothing and accessories, heels etc…Hair done and make-up on if you have not purchased our make-up session add-on.  We don’t want you to waste your session time getting ready. However, an occasional touch-up is okay.

5. Make sure you drink plenty of water 24 hrs before to avoid dehydration and looking tired.

6. Do NOT drink alcohol the night before and make sure you get plenty of rest the night before. No puffy or dark circles under the eyes.

7. Wear loose clothing before the shoot to prevent marks on the skin.  Try to avoid wearing socks and a bra to your photo session to avoid the marks these items can leave on your skin.

8. Practice, practice, practice….yes, in front of the mirrorYou can also flip through a Victoria Secret catalogs to study poses. Bring your favorite pages with you to show us what you like the most.

9. Please no spray tanning prior to your session as it can leave you looking orange especially on your hands and feet.  If you would like to get a little “color” prior to your session, we recommend a couple of sessions in a tanning bed… but, do NOT over do it.

Inspiration…look on-line at sites such as Victoria Secret and Victoria Secret on Facebook
