Below is a set of suggestions for you to consider; some items may not apply depending on the type of shoot (Casual vs. Glamour). The intent is to do what we can to capture you at your very best!
 
No less than a week before the shoot (to allow irritation to subside):
  • If you wax, wax your brows and other areas otherwise pluck your brows.
  • If you color or highlight your hair, plan to do it at least a week before the shoot.
  • If you have dark hair on your arms or face, it should be bleached or waxed.
On the day of the shoot:
  • Bring makeup, hair, and body products with you to the shoot so you can touch-up and/or change out.  
  • At a minimum, bring the items in your wardrobe that we agreed on in the planning session, but feel free to bring other items if you think they will work.
  • Women, don’t forget your lingerie to go with each outfit. Bring in black, beige and white. Bras should be seamless with a smooth front; no lace. Bring in a strapless bra and thong in a neutral tone. you can bring in colored hose or tights. Fun stockings if you’re doing something with an edge.
  • Choose clothes that fit you well, nothing baggy. Shoes should be appropriate for the attire. Suits should be a modern cut and fit great through shoulders and sleeve length.
  • Bring in a mix of color and basic black and creme separates. Solids work well. Textured tops add a nice dimension.  Choose separates that will go with several combinations.
  • Hats, scarves, jewelry, purses are great props to work with.
  • Any additional props you can think of will be appreciated.
  • Bring a sturdy pair of sneakers or other shoes for location walking.
