WINDSONG LIFE PREPARATION GUIDE
When it comes to your upcoming portrait session, there are a number of ways you can prepare in advance to make sure you have the most successful and positive experience. Some of these tips may or may not be applicable to you as an individual, but overall these are my tried and true tips.
SKIN PREP
Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your photo shoot.
If possible, avoid extreme exposure to the sun in the week leading up.
Please bring your own lip moisturizer or chapstick.
fACIAL HAIR
Trim nose hair.
Men should also groom their beards, paying close attention to razor bumps on the neck for a clean and polished appearance.
HAIR
Schedule an appointment with your hair stylist if you're due for a refresh.
CLOTHING
Your signature style. Wear what you love. Wear something sentimental.
Coordination: Aim for a cohesive look rather than exact matching. Textures, layers, and subtle patterns can add depth while maintaining unity.
Logos & Writing: Avoid clothing with logos or writing, as they can be distracting and may pose a challenge in retouching.
JEWELRY
Your signature style. Wear what you love. Wear something sentimental.
MANI
PEDI
Schedule your nail appointment no more than 2 days ahead of your photo shoot.
Prefer to wear them clean and natural? Moisturize those hands and cuticles!
