HELLO GORGEOUS

TAKE A MINUTE TO READ THROUGH THIS LIST SO YOU ARE WELL PREPARED FOR YOUR PHOTOSHOOT.

1. NO SPRAY TANS! EVER!
2. TRY ON YOUR UNDERGARMENTS WITH THE OUTFITS YOU ARE WEARING. MAKE SURE BRA STRAPS ARE NOT SHOWING. MAKE SURE YOUR BRA IS THE APPROPRIATE COLOR. I DO NOT REMOVE BRA STRAPS OR PANTY LINES IN EDITING.
3. AVOID TAN LINES (INCLUDING WATCH). I DON'T REMOVE BATHING SUIT OR WATCH TAN LINES. IF YOU HAVE A WATCH TAN LINE AND YOU WANT IT TO LOOK LESS OBVIOUS. PLEASE TRY TO COVER AND BLEND WITH MAKEUP. USE A COTTON BALL TO DAB A MATTE BRONZER (IF YOUR COMPLEXION IS MEDIUM TO DARK) OR A MATTE PEACHY BLUSH (IF YOU'RE FAIR AND GET PINK IN THE SUN.) BLEND OVER THE TAN LINE AND ON TO THE SKIN RIGHT NEXT TO IT. IF IT IS JUST ON THE TAN LINE IT WILL LOOK TOO OBVIOUS.
4. HYDRATE, MOISTURIZE AND USE CHAPSTICK FOR THE WEEK PRIOR TO THE SESSION.
5. TAME FLYWAYS IF POSSIBLE. YOU CAN BRING A COMB AND HAIRSPRAY OR A TEXTURIZING GEL TO TAME THEM ON LOCATION.
6. FINGER AND TOE NAILS SHOULD BE CLEAN/MANICURED WITH NO CHIPS. STICK TO NEUTRAL TONES.
7. TEXT ME ANY TIME TO TALK ABOUT OUTFITS. BUT TO GIVE SOME GUIDELINES, YOU'LL WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN COMFORTABLY SIT DOWN AND MOVE AROUND IN YOUR OUTFITS. SIT DOWN ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF A MIRROR TO MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE FIT.
8. AVOID WEARING NEON COLORS OF ANY SHADE. THIS INCLUDES OUTFITS AND NAIL POLISH.
9. IRON YOUR CLOTHES IF NECESSARY AND BRING THEM ON A HANGER.
10. IF YOU ARE INCLUDING YOUR CAP AND GOWN IN YOUR SHOOT, REMOVE IT FROM THE PACKAGING AS SOON POSSIBLE. YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NEED TO STEAM THE WRINKLES OUT.
11. PICK OUT YOUR SHOES AND ACCESSORIES. IF YOU ARE WEARING UNCOMFORTABLE SHOES, BRING SOMETHING YOU CAN EASILY SLIP IN AND OUT OF SO YOU ARE NOT IN PAIN. PACK YOUR JEWELRY IN SEPARATE BAGGIES FOR EACH OUTFIT SO IT IS EASY FOR YOU TO FIND AND PUT ON WHILE WE ARE ON THE GO.
12. DON'T WEAR A FOUNDATION WITH SPF FOR YOUR PHOTOSHOOT. IT HAS A REFLECTIVE QUALITY THAT LOOKS SHINY IN PHOTOS. USE A GOOD SETTING SPRAY. BRING FACE BLOTTERS TO KEEP YOUR MAKEUP INTACT AND KEEP THE SHINE DOWN.
13. DON'T USE ANY MAKEUP ANYWHERE ON YOUR FACE WITH GLITTER IN IT.
14. SHAVE YOUR LEGS AND ARMPITS.
15. IT IS HARD TO AVOID GLARE AND SHADOWS WHEN WEARING GLASSES. IT IS BETTER TO NOT WEAR GLASSES IN PHOTOS AT ALL. I WEAR GLASSES. ALL THE TIME BUT NOT IN PHOTOS.
