PART TWO: Five Days Before Your Photography Session It’s Time To Spoil Yourself
So here we are with part 2 “Five Days Before Your Session – Time to Spoil Yourself!” of our 3 part blog series: Preparing for your Photo-shoot. We are so excited that your BIG DAY is almost here!! Let’s talk about what happens next!
Last time we talked about what you need to get started on the month before your session. By now you have already booked your session and have the date for your big day, and you have finished your pre-shoot consultation and questionnaire. Your private Pinterest board should be all filled up with the images that inspire you. Your session, no matter whether it is boudoir, fashion, pinup, maternity, bridal, will be individually planned for you based on the feedback we received from you and the items you pin. You will have already added some poses, outfits and hair and make-up ideas so we can get your sets, lighting and your stylist ready to make this a super experience for you.
You’re less than a week from your shoot and the excitement is mounting! You have your clothes picked out and some really amazing shoes, jewelry and props ready to go. This is when the importance of continued communication is vital. We’ll have you either post to your private Pinterest board images of your outfits or have you send them to us via email. This allows us to see more what you’re envisioning for your photos and lets the hair stylist/make-up artist ensure they’re also ready for your day.
Now that we are almost to your big day, we want to share more of the items you should be keeping in mind.
• If waxing is your thing, make sure to wax a few days before your session as to avoid redness and irritation.
• Pluck and shape your eyebrows.
• If you want to get your hair cut and/or colored, make sure to allow yourself a few days before your session to make sure you’re happy with it.
• Either give yourself or have a professional manicure and pedicure. It does make a huge difference in your pictures.
• Don’t go out tanning and don’t use a spray or liquid tanner the week of your session.
• Try to cut way back on salt and increase you water intake. Lots of water makes for beautiful skin but the extra salt may cause water weight.
• Try on the clothes and lingerie that you have chosen to make sure everything fits well and be sure to remove any and all labels that might be seen.
• Make sure to clean and iron the clothing you’ll be bringing and hang them rather than fold them so there aren’t any wrinkles or fold marks.
We also want you to remember that you can email or call us any time to go over anything you have questions on. Uncertain about bringing a special prop with you? Touch base with us and we can discuss what you have in mind. So now we’re almost there!! Five days to go until the day that is all about you!
Next time we will talk about what important information you need to know the day before and the day of your session so check out our next blog – The Day Before Your Session and Your Big Day!
