Preparing for Your Shoot

 

 

  • 1)Get plenty of good rest the night before a photo shoot. Poor sleep can be perceived by the camera.

  • 2) Unless discussed with your photographer in advance, do not have your hair cut or newly styled within a week of your photo shoot.

  • Many people have been disappointed and stressed over a bad haircut performed the day before a shoot.

  • 3) Do not dye or color your hair within 72 hours before your photo shoot.

  • The color will not have time to appropriately settle, and the skin around your hairline may be irritated or pick up some of the pigment from the coloring.

  • 4) Do not try to put on a last minute tan before your photo shoot.

  • Your skin should have at least 2 to 3 days Without UV rays before being photographed.

  • 5)  Be careful not to get too much sun in the days preceding your shoot.

  • You don’t want to have red cheeks and a pealing nose in your photos!

  • 6)While I do not subscribe to the “starving model” ideals, realize that ingesting food or large quantities of drink prior to a shoot may “add weight” to your photos in any shots taken lower than mid-chest.

  • You will be happier with your pictures if you eat smaller meals the day of and/or before your shoot if your figure is going to be a focal point during your session.

  • 7) Closely scrutinize your makeup choices at least a week before the shoot.

  • If there is one time that you want to have lipstick and mascara that are smooth and not clumpy or sloppy, it’s when you’re having your picture taken. The camera captures EVERYTHING!

  • 8) Drink lots of water during the week before your shoot.

  •  It’s good for your body, good for your health, and helps hydrate and moisturize your skin naturally.
