To prepare, here are several tips from Charity.
Do's
-DO make sure to get a good night's sleep the night before your shoot.
-DO drink a ton of water the week leading up to your shoot. It makes skin glow in photographs!
-DO get your clothes pressed. So many people worry so much about what to wear they forget to iron out all the wrinkles.
-DO bring options for clothes and accessories. If something isn't working in the photo we can switch it up a bit plus it will give you a bit of variety
Don'ts
-DONT forget to eat the night before and the day of your shoot. It gives you energy and that will show in your photos
-DONT get a facial the week of your shoot. Skin sometimes freaks out after a facial and breaks out or gets too dry and makeup can't always hide this.
-DONT try a new haircut the week before your shoot. You may hate it and end up with photos reminding you of a haircut that wasn't great.
-DONT stress. So many people are nervous to be in front of the camera but I promise it will be so much fun, you will want to shoot for hours.
Fashion Suggestions:
-Try to stay away from white, if possible. If your all-time favorite sweater is white, then by all means wear it, but otherwise, move on to something with a little color. If you want white as a base color, that's great just bring a sweater or jacket to go with it. White can sometimes wash people out.
-Pick a color palette of 2-3 colors and stay within those shades. Do over do it with too many colors or patterns.
-Think about your background. You don't want to clash with your surroundings.
-Try not to get too trendy. Don't get me wrong - I'm all about some trend but think stylish rather than trendy. You can always add some flair later on in the session towards the end.
-Keep it comfortable. It has been my experience that when people are comfortable, they take better pictures.
-Bring options. We can go through all of them before we start shooting and choose what will work best.
