Preparing for Your Day

Marissa2_1000

Two weeks Before Your Shoot…

  • You will be given a website location to select the clothing you would like to wear on the day of the shoot.
  • Select one party/cocktail dress.
  • Select one lingerie.
  • I will select one dress and another lingerie as well.
  • Provide me with your sizes for the order. This includes shoe size, bra size, waist size, S, M, L, XL, XXL, if the garment is sized that way.

Five Days Before Your Shoot…

  • If you wax, do so a few days before to avoid any bumpiness or redness.
  • Make sure your eyebrows are nicely shaped and groomed.
  • If you’re planning to visit a salon for a haircut or color, do so well before the shoot.
  • Be sure to get a manicure and pedicure for a flawless finish.
  • If you want, get a suntan. But within the five-day period, stay out of the sun to prevent sunburns or blotchy skin.
  • Don’t use spray tans.
  • Drink plenty of water for luminous skin.
  • Lower your salt intake to reduce your water retention.
  • Select the heels to go with the club wear you selected; stilettos or platforms are best, if you have them. Make sure they are polished and have no scuff marks.

The Day Before the Shoot…

  • Bathe, shave and moisturize.
  • Enjoy a quiet evening.
  • Try to get a good night’s sleep at least eight hours, if you can.

The Day of the Shoot…

  • Wear loose-fitting clothing the day of your shoot. Tight clothing leaves lines that will stay on your body for hours after you’ve changed into something else.
  • You’re welcome to bring clothing that is special to you. Just make sure it’s clean.
  • The session usually runs 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule.
  • There is a standard model release that is signed by you.
  • Use clear deodorant.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing avoid red marks on the skin (no jeans, tight socks, or tight clothing.) Avoid a tight bra because of the lines it leaves on the skin.
  • Eat a light meal.
  • A photo shoot is also a workout. Legs are stretched, toes are pointed, backs arched, your breath held while tightening your tummy. You will work hard, but it will be a blast!
  • I’ll coach you through every fun little bit of the process, from poses to flatter your body type to what expressions to make.
  • You will be nervous, just RELAX. I promise to make you relax to get the most amazing shots of you.
  • Plan on having the best fun day of your life!!
