Part Three: The Day Before Your Photography Session and Your Big Day!
Time has flown by and it is the day before your photo session!
You have been preparing all month for this and have gotten your clothes ready, your shoes are shining and your nails are polished. You have had a blast surfing Pinterest for those images you pinned to show your ideas of what sexy, fun, glamorous and sophisticated are. You followed all the information in the guides and emailed all your questions and are ready for your big day! Now it is time to take a deep breath and relax a little.
Here are a few last minute tips for the day before your session:
- Shave and use a moisturizer. Moisturize everywhere, from your nose to your toes.
- Double-check that you have everything you will be bringing for your session – clothing, lingerie, high heels, jewelry, props…
- Relax and have a stress-free evening.
- Try to get at least eight hours of good sleep.
It is the day of your session! Your Big Day has arrived.
Whether you are doing a boudoir, glamour, fashion, pinup or some other type of shoot this is the day you have been waiting and preparing for!
This is YOUR DAY and it’s time to get ready!
- Bath / Wash and dry your hair but don’t use any products to style your hair if we are providing hairstyling for your shoot.
- Use a clear deodorant but don’t use perfumes or colognes.
- Eat a light breakfast before leaving the house (Do Not skip breakfast)
- Try to leave a little early to your session in case you get stuck in traffic or are delayed. You don’t want to be late.
- Arrive in loose fitting cloths to avoid marks on your skin- yes be careful even with your socks! Lines from the clothes you wear to your shoot take time to fade and can be challenging to cover up especially in a boudoir shoot!
Relax and try not to be nervous. We’ll make sure you look your best and are guided throughout the entire process making sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Try to remember that nothing is sexier and more attractive than a confident woman. This is your day and a wonderful experience so enjoy yourself and have a great time!
Awesome! You did it!!! You were beautiful, sexy, and looked amazing!!
Now it’s time to take a break for about an hour before we sit down and view the very best photos from your shoot. You can relax with some snacks, coffee, tea, juice or water and fill out your post shoot questionnaire. While you are relaxing, we are preparing your images for you to view on our large screen. We will sit together for your slideshow and from these images you can choose your favorites. You will be able to select from our various print packages to show off your amazing photographs. We’ll get right to work preparing your images for print and have your order ready for you to pick up in just two to three weeks.
Here is an excerpt from a follow up email from one of our lovely ladies after her boudoir/fashion photo-shoot:
“Hi Marilyn!
I just wanted to email you and see how you have been doing… I love the photos, I don’t remember if I told you. I like how they came out and I am so very proud of them. I also wanted to let you know that since I have seen you, my confidence has risen. I absolutely love that we had a chance to meet. You are definitely an inspiration.
-T”
