Photoshoot Prep Guide
You did it - you’re booked in for a FIERCE Over 40 session! Now you might be thinking, what did I get myself into? There’s a lot that goes into a portrait experience and it can seem overwhelming. Here’s a guide to help you when prepping for your shoot - you can leave the rest up to us!
HAIR COLOR/ EYEBROWS
Having freshly trimmed and coloured hair and eyebrows done - if that’s your thing - will make you feel like a supermodel during your session!
HANDS & FEET
If you normally do your nails, get a manicure and pedicure before you session (or DIY at home). Your hands and feet will show in many of your images and we don’t want chipped polish!
SPRAY TANS & TANLINES
For your session we do not recommend a spray tan if you haven’t had one done before as it will affect how your skin tone will photograph. You should also stay out of the sun to avoid any burns before your session! Retouching of streaks, tanlines and sunburns is not included in the retouching but available for an extra charge.
DAY OF YOUR SESSION
Arrive with a clean face and dry hair. It’s always helpful to do a light exfoliation on your face, even just with a washcloth. Let the makeup artist know if you have any sensitivities, and feel free to bring some inspiration photos for your makeup look.
Use clear deodorant & moisturize your body before your session.
Don’t forget to eat something and drink lots of water the day before.
A good night’s sleep will ensure you are refreshed for your photoshoot.
Wardrobe Advice
While we do have a client wardrobe closet in the studio you are more than welcome to use, we suggest that you bring 2-3 of your favorite outfits. One that dresses you up, maybe something you haven't worn in a long while. One that you feel your absolute best in and one that maybe pushes you outside of your comfort zone.
If you have any accessories that have sentimental meaning, bring them along. Grandma's ring or necklace. Mom's pearls.
APPOINTMENT TIME & RESCHEDULES
Please arrive on time for your appointment; if you arrive early, we may still be with another client. Late arrival will be deducted from your session time.
Hair and makeup will take approximately 1 hour so come prepared to be pampered for a while! Your session itself will take approximately 1 hour. You will see your images immediately after your session, which will also take about 1 hour.
The deposit for your session is non-refundable and there is a $100 rescheduling fee; please allow a minimum of 3 days notice for rescheduling.
