PREPARATION
 
There are a few things you should plan on before your appointment.
 
1) EAT - Speaking from experience, don't starve yourself! You won't look good, feel good or be at your best! Passing out in the middle of a shoot puts a kink in the fun!
 
2) DRINK - Dehydrated skin is not a happy skin! The day before your shoot make sure to drink plenty of water. Your skin will thank you and it will help you to avoid retaining water.
 
3) REST - Try to get enough sleep the night before, it makes a difference!
 
4) DO YOUR NAILS - "Unfinished" nails (fingers AND toes) can ruin an otherwise-fabulous photo! You don't have to get a manicure but do try to have your nails neat and clean. No polish is far better than chipped polish! I generally opt for French tips, no matter what you decide to wear they will match!
 
5) HAIR REMOVAL - Shave, bleach, wax whatever it is you choose to do but don't forget. You'll thank me for the reminder when you see the photos.

CLOTHING
 
What to wear? Short answer: Whatever you want! Usually, my suggestion is to bring about 3 outfits.  Bring more than you think you'll need... better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!
 
1) Whatever you wear to the shoot (jeans, t-shirt, dress, lingerie, stockings anything that you think will stand out - please note, i can also provide sets to wear for the shoot)
 
2) Something sexy but classy

3) The important one... something you don't think you'll be brave enough to wear! I've had women choose a corset with garters, thigh-highs and sky-high heels, some wear booty shorts with a leather studded belt and a bra, some have brought a crazy wig and a torn-up punk style outfit. Anything that you wouldn't wear as your "normal" self flies here! You don't have to wear it... but you would rather bring it and decide not to wear it than not bring it and regret it!
 
The optional #4) Your birthday suit! Many women request nude or partial nude photos. This might mean implied (you are nude but posed so that nothing is showing), topless or fully nude. This is YOUR choice! Some women want to, some women don't it is up to you.

MAKEUP
 
For sexier shots, ultra dramatic eyes and nude, glossy lips is a great combination. Fake lashes are optional but do tend to give eyes extra impact.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
 
- Don't forget bras (strapless if you need it)... push-up is good!
- Don't forget any particular knickers you might need (i.e. no black panties under a white dress) and panties to match bras.
- Bring shoes for each outfit. You never know when they might show and you want to be prepared. It is a disappointment to want to shoot a full-length shot of you in your gown and not be able to for a lack of shoes!
- Try on everything before the shoot so you know it all fits and you have all the parts and pieces you need.
- ACCESSORIZE! Bring along bracelets, earrings, bangles, belts, hats, etc. Pearls are always a good thing, as are simple hoop earrings and a pair of studs.
- Bring makeup, a hairbrush, hair accessories (barrettes, bobby pins, etc), and some gel or hairspray.
- Be brave! You might not dream of wearing fishnets to the grocery store but they look super-cool in photos!
