Photoshoot: How to Prepare

How to Prepare for Your Photoshoot

Have the outfits you would like to wear already selected and laid out.
Solid colors work best and avoid all white clothing (for headshots your face should be the brightest part of the image) or Graphics that will be distracting.
- AVOID small repeating patterns like pinstripes or polka dots. If you’d like to incorporate these patterns, reach out to us in advance.
- Please also let us know if you plan to wear glasses during your photoshoot.
Adding a layer (like a jacket) for texture and a simple change-up for you look can go a long way.

Go with your natural everyday look.
Bring powder and a brush (or any other application method).
Powder reduces editing time, and makes you less shiny when photographed. Using an oil wipe before applying powder/makeup can also be helpful.

Research poses a head of time. Be prepared with lots of options:
- You may notice several of your peers doing the same poses – be unique!
The photographer may ask for something different because of constraints with the lighting, or background.
The more you prep in advance the more we can capture and provide for you during your shoot.

Make a playlist on Spotify or Tidal and send a link to us in advance! Great music = great vibes, and music that speaks to you will help create an atmosphere that showcases you at your best.
