FAQ
TIPS AND TRICKS!
The best option to make yourself look your best to hire a professional makeup artist and hairstylist. I can do that for you with my trusted associates, or you can find your own.
Hair should done before the session starts if you are not booking a hairstylist. I suggest wearing it down, loose or with sexy curls, and not overly loaded with hairspray. It needs to stay throughout the session, but be able to move around! You can purchase clip-in extensions or hairpieces to glam up your look.
Makeup should fit the theme of your stylized session. Try softer and more natural for casual attire or dark and dramatic for sexier looks. If you are going for a pin-up look, light eye makeup and red lips is perfect. I highly encourage fake eyelashes to complete your look!
Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure, but avoid facials or waxing for 1-2 days before your session as they can cause redness.
Do's:
Get plenty of rest the night before your session.
Bring in CD's or your iPod (with a great play list already organized) of all the favorite music you think is sexy to get you in the mood
Invest in at least one cute pair of underwear or a bra/panty set that makes you feel super sexy and fits you perfectly
Moisturize your skin the morning of your session but please no self tanners or body oil as it can damage the clothing you bring is as well as our furniture, props, materials, etc.
Bring in fun accessories like pearls, hats, a few pairs of fishnets and shoes to play with especially if they can enhance any theme youre planning to achieve. Consider accessories from your man ties, hats, scarves, sports paraphernalia, to personalize your images.
Get your eyebrows waxed or tweezed a few days prior to your session to avoid red skin and puffiness (same goes for the bikini area)
Dont's:
Over indulge the night before your session . . . if you feel bad . . . you'll look bad.
Wear tight fitting clothes to your session lines can take hours to disappear
Get a tan right before your session . . . and remember tan lines will show.
