There is a good amount of planning and thought that goes into preparing for a photoshoot session, which is something that some don’t realize. Fortunately, that is where we come in!

When it comes to hair and makeup, I always recommend my clients get their hair and makeup professionally done the day of our session. Choose a hairstyle that is partially pulled back or tamed, it can be windy during outdoor portraits, and having your hair partially pulled back, or braided to the side helps prevent the “I just stuck my head out of a window” look.

Don’t be afraid of eyelashes. Seriously, ladies, fake lashes are your friends for portraits and really make your eyes pop. Typically makeup for portraits may seem like more makeup than you normally wear, but keep in mind that our portraits are bright and airy so it will appear less dramatic in your portraits.

When choosing the perfect look, always reach for an outfit that fits you and your body type. You’re going to want to stick with solid colors including textures or layers. Avoid cap or puffy sleeves and always go for the v-neck!
