PREFERRED CREATIVE DIRECTORS

The concept and planning of the photoshoot is the most important piece of a photoshoot. A Creative Director defines the creative idea, vision and execution plan for your photoshoot. They will also come on set and provide direction to ensure the vision is fully executed. All great photoshoots are done in a team effort that always includes a skilled creative director.

    If you wish to use a different makeup artist, the "glass face" style of makeup works the best with my photography style. Makeup styles that have more of a flat / overly matte look do not work well with my photography lighting style.

preferred Hairstylists

Having a professional hair stylist on set for your photoshoot can take the stress away of having to worry about how your hair looks. If your hair needs re-curling, touching up, needs to be combed or brushed they will complete all of those tasks and ensure your hair is perfect for each pose. See my preferred hairstylists below.

    5 WAYS TO PREPARE FOR YOUR FIRST PHOTO SHOOT

    Practice your poses

    1. When it comes down to the day of your shoot, it’s so important that you’ve practiced your poses in front of a mirror. You can figure out your best angles and understand what happens when the light hits your body in different positions. Posing might seem awkward at first, but it can quickly become a fun and playful experience.

      Pre-Shoot Details

    2. It’s so important that you pay attention to detail when preparing for your shoot. Cameras can pick up slight defects in a lot more detail than the naked eye so make sure your legs have been shaved/waxed prior to the shoot and that your nails aren’t chipped . Always make sure you have the correct underwear for your shoot, if you’re wearing anything showing your shoulders then you’ll need a strapless bra or pasties and etc.

      Be well rested

    3. Tiredness shows on your face, your skin and then seeps through your attitude. It’s one of life’s well known secrets that you must have at least your 8 hours of sleep per night; but before your photo shoot, it’s something you can’t skip!

      Confidence

    4. Once you’re all prepared, it’s time to work on your attitude. You need to remember that you are fabulous and be confident in your shoot. Everyone gets a bit nervous before a photo shoot, so channel those nerves into excitement so that the confidence flows out of you as soon as the camera starts flashing!
