1. Clothing Tips

• Keep it Simple: Solid colors work best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or distracting prints unless we specifically discussed a bold look.

• Choose Timeless Pieces: Go for classic styles that won’t feel outdated when you look back at your photos.

• Coordinate, Don’t Match: If photographing with others, choose outfits that complement each other without being identical.

• Bring Options: Bring 2–3 outfit choices, including different textures (knits, denim, cotton) for variety.

• Fit Matters: Clothes that fit well (not too tight or too loose) always look better on camera.

• Consider Necklines: Depending on the mood of the shoot, simple necklines (scoop, V-neck, or off-shoulder) often photograph beautifully.

• Layer Up: Jackets, cardigans, and scarves add depth and variety.

• Shoes Matter: Don’t forget about shoes if they’ll show! Clean, simple footwear works best.

2. Hair and Makeup Tips

• Stay True to You: Aim for a polished version of your everyday look. Natural lively curls are great.

• Professional Hair and Makeup (Optional but Recommended): It makes a difference, especially for close-ups.

• Avoid Major Changes: Don’t try a new haircut or experimental makeup right before the shoot.

• Touch Up Nails: Hands will likely be visible — neat nails (even natural) look great. Please avoid bright designs

• Blot Away Shine: Bring powder or blotting papers if you tend to get shiny skin.

• Men: A fresh shave or well-groomed beard looks sharp.

3. Skin Care and Preps

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of your session.

• Moisturize: Well-hydrated skin photographs beautifully.

• Sleep Well: A good night’s sleep really does make a difference.

• Avoid Tanning: Natural skin tones photograph best. Tanning can cause uneven tones in photos.

• Hairbrush or comb

• Lip balm and/or lipstick/gloss

• Makeup for quick touch-ups

• Comfortable shoes (especially if we’re walking to different locations)

• Accessories (earrings, hats, light jewelry — simple is best)

• A water bottle

• Snacks if you’ll need energy

• Trust the Process: Relax and enjoy! Natural, genuine expressions are always the most beautiful.

• Come a Little Early: It helps us start calm and stress-free.

• Feel Confident: This is your time to shine — and I’ll guide you through everything during the session.

Final Tip:

Be Yourself. The best photos happen when you feel like you. Bring your real smile, your personality, and your unique energy.
