Session Preparation
Bring whatever you want, but here are some suggestions. Variety! Bring at least 3 changes of clothes. If you have an outfit that you love but your parents hate, bring it for sure! Jeans is always a good way to start. Don't forget to accessorize. Bring bold accessories such as shoes, boots, heels, jewelry, sunglasses, hats, scarfs, etc... Dressy clothes, funky clothes, suit & tie, and prom dresses are all great. Unless you are a stick -- stay away from horizontal stripes. Kohl's is a great place to shop here in Georgetown.
If you have any complexion issues, use makeup to correct the issues as best as you can. Anything we don't need to touch up afterwards will save you money. We highly recommend the Proactiv system, it really works!
Having your hair, makeup, and nails done professionally prior to the shoot always is a plus! Bring lipstick, powder and apply a little more mascara than usual.
Plan your wardrobe well in advance. Look in a full length mirror and see how it looks. Think about what accessories you can add to enhance the outfit. If you are fashion clueless -- get help from a fashionable friend or a sales associate at a trendy clothing store.
Homework: While we provide posing guidance, to get the most out of your session, treat this as a model shoot and practice some facial expressions and poses in a mirror before your session. Get ideas from fashion magazines. If you come prepared we can spend more time shooting and less time guiding.
But the most important thing... bring your personality and be ready to laugh and to have fun!
