Prepare for your Photo Shoot Here is a list of things to keep in mind while you prepare for your photo session:
This is an important day! RELAX. Give yourself plenty of time in case of traffic.
Come to the shoot with your hair ready for the first look. DO NOT get it cut just before your shoot in case it doesn't turn out right!
Bring your make-up supplies for touch-ups.
Fingernails should be clean and groomed and not too long. Polish should be a light color.
WOMEN: All facial hair should be tweezed, waxed, or shaven, and excess arm hair should be waxed. MEN: If you are starting with an unshaven look, bring your shaving supplies for your next look.
Stay out of the sun and the tanning salons!
Get plenty of sleep the night before. Stay off the booze and other influential substances! It does show on your face. Eat a good meal prior to your shoot.
Try on all your clothes ahead of time. Make sure they fit well, are cleaned, pressed and have no missing buttons. Bring colors that look good on you. Black & white are great.
WOMEN: Make sure your bras go with your tops.
MEN: Bras not required
Bring your favorite tapes and CD's.
Cut out pictures that you like from magazines: the pose, mood, expression, angle, attitude, energy.
