How to Prepare for Your Portrait Session {SKIN & HAIR} 1.
Arrive with clean fully dry hair. Our professional makeup artists are trained in hair styling and will lightly style your hair according to your tastes.
2.
If you typically dye your hair, make sure that your hairstyle is up-to-date with any touch ups.
3.
Any waxing, especially eyebrows, should be done at least a few days in advance of your shoot.
4.
Arrive with clean moisturized skin. This provides a smooth base for makeup application.
5.
Please let the makeup artist know if you have any allergies to products. If you do have skin allergies and prefer that our makeup artists use your items, please be sure to bring them with you the day of your shoot. They will be happy to apply them for you.
6.
Our makeup artist will apply makeup according to your preference. We have a makeup chart in the studio for you to select a style that you love.
7.
Schedule a manicure if necessary. Nail polish can be distracting so it’s best to have your nails natural or with a French or American manicure.
{CLOTHES & ACCESSORIES} 1.
Don’t worry about shoes. I won’t be photographing them and it easy for me to pose you in bare feet.
2.
Please bring 5-6 outfits. Try to stay away from strong patterns, as they tend to distract from the main subject of the photograph. You!
3.
Your outfits can range from casual—jeans and knit tops, to full glamour gown or evening dress. We typically order the shoot from casual to glamorous so we can add makeup if necessary. If you are having group portraits make sure that the outfits complement each other. All black and all white are great choices for group shots.
4.
Consider necklines and outfits that shape your body. Clothes that are not fitted tend to make you look heavier. Clothes that follow the shape of your body are easier to photograph and make you look wonderful.
5.
Consider renting or shopping for a new outfit. We are creating custom portraiture for you, now is the time to invest yourself for a change.
6.
Is there any jewelry or accessory that you would like to be wearing when you are being photographed? Many clients bring in necklaces, rings, scarves, wraps and hats. When in doubt, bring it to your shoot!
