Essential Pre-Session Planning

Before the Session (4-6 Weeks Out)

  • Dream Up Your Look: Dive into different styles. Make a mood board with cool images you find online or in magazines. This helps you and your photographer nail down your style.

  • Outfit Time: Pick clothes that scream 'you' and make you feel awesome. Mix it up with lingerie, everyday clothes, and something a bit different. Your photographer can help choose what'll look best in photos. And hey, comfort matters!

  • Skin Care Routine: Start pampering your skin. A bit of exfoliation and moisturizer goes a long way. Planning any skin treatments? Do them a couple of weeks before to dodge any last-minute surprises.

  • Hair and Makeup Run-Through: Thinking about getting professional styling? Try it out beforehand to make sure you love the look.

One Week Out

  • Final Outfit Check: Give your outfits a last try-on to make sure they fit just right.

  • Beauty Touch-ups: Get any waxing or hair appointments done a bit before the shoot.

  • Drink Up and Eat Right: More water equals glowing skin. Skip foods that might make you feel bloated.

The Day Before

  • Pack Your Bag: Don't forget your outfits, accessories, and any personal stuff. Think lingerie, comfy robes, and your beauty kit.

  • Chill and Sleep Well: Relax and get plenty of sleep. It'll help you stay calm and refreshed.

Day of the Shoot

  • Show Up Ready: Arrive with a clean face and hair, and let the pros do their magic.

  • Go with the Flow: The photographer will help you with poses, so just focus on having fun.

  • Enjoy Every Moment: Trust yourself and your prep work. This is your time to shine.

After the Shoot

  • Pick Your Faves: Choose the best shots and think about how you want to keep them – digital, prints, or a cool album.

  • Show Off Your Pics: Decide how you want to display your photos. It's all about celebrating you!
