Photoshoot Prep

We know preparing for a photoshoot can be daunting, so we put together a guide to ease the anxiety. Preparing for an outdoor natural light photoshoot can be an exciting and memorable experience, and with a few simple tips, you can ensure that your session is successful and enjoyable! Here are a few tips:

  1. Choose your outfits carefully: Select clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel comfortable and confident. It’s important to keep in mind the location and time of day of your photoshoot, as well as any themes or color schemes that we have discussed. Consider wearing solid colors or simple patterns, and avoid clothing with logos or busy prints that can be distracting in photos.

  2. Create a vision board: A vision board is a helpful tool for communicating your vision and ideas for your photoshoot to us. Collect images from Pintrest or other online sources that reflect the mood and style you’re looking to achieve, and share these with us ahead of time.

  3. Plan your hair and makeup: It’s important to plan your hair and makeup ahead of time to ensure that you look and feel your best on the day of your photoshoot. Keep your look natural and simple, enhancing your features without looking too overdone. If you’re unsure about hair and makeup, consider hiring a professional stylist for your session.

  4. Be mindful of the weather: Check the weather forecast a few days before your photoshoot to ensure that you’re prepared for the conditions. Dress in layers if necessary, and bring along any accessories that will keep you comfortable, such as hats, scarves, or jackets.

  5. Prepare mentally and physically: Get plenty of rest the night before your photoshoot, and stay hydrated throughout the day. Try to stay relaxed and focused, and remember to have fun! This is your opportunity to showcase your unique personality and style in a beautiful natural setting.

These tips should help you feel more prepared for your shoot day, and allow us to create unforgettable images for you! We can’t wait! See our blog post on extended family shoots for examples!
