Have you ever scrolled down your newsfeed and seen stunning professional photos of your friends or family? Or maybe you walked into a friend’s house and saw exquisite wall art from their family portraits and thought wow I really would like a professional photoshoot. Well, successful photos don’t just happen on accident they come with preparation and planning. I took the time to ask my clients what tips would they give to others so that they can have a successful photoshoot and here is what they suggested:
- Prepare your outfits in advance and place them on hangers
- After you pick out accessories place them in Ziploc bags or another small carrying case
- Speak to your photographer about thoughts on colors
- Have a garment bag for your outfits
- Place shoes in a rolling case
- Hire reliable professional hairstylist and makeup artist
- Have a friend help you on shooting day
- Hire a stylist or ask for feedback on your outfits from your photographer, family, and or close friends
- Use appropriate undergarments
- Have hair products with you such as brush, hair spray, bobby pins, comb, etc.
- Be early
- Have a goal for your photoshoot
- Don’t change your skincare products before your photoshoot
- Get your nails done
- Relax
- Don’t overthink everything. Lets things flow and be yourself.
- Give yourself plenty of preparation time before your shoot
- Have things already packed and ready to go the night before
- Bring slide in shoes just in case you have to walk and your feet are hurting
- Bring lotion
- Bring a bottle of water and easy to eat snacks if it’s a long shoot
- Bring a towel just in case you sweat
Photoshoots can be really fun but also a headache if things are not planned. Of course, some things don’t always go as planned and life happens; however, the best thing you can do for your photo shoot is to try your very best to have everything in place. I hope these tips help and I look forward to capturing your life long memories.Offering popular women’s necklaces such as pendants, chokers and chain necklace.
