#FBVUZ
8BUFS 3FTU WATER - You’ve heard it before, water is great for the skin. Make sure to drink plenty of water - 6-8 glasses 48 hours before the session and the day before.

REST - The night before the
session, make sure to get your beauty rest. No one likes dark circles and bags under their eyes. 8-10 hours of sleep is preferred.
SUN BLOCK/TAN LINES - Please be careful Follow these tips prior to your photo session for Flawless Hair, Skin, & Nails
4)08 .& :063 5&&5) TEETH - You will be doing lots
HAIR - If you need a trim or root touch up make
sure to get that taken care of a week or two prior to the session. I would also suggest splurging on a deep conditioner. However, this is not the time to try out a new hair color. The night before, wash your hair, and wear it natural. No products. If you have a favorite hair care product, feel free to bring it along.
BODY HAIR - Be sure to take care of any body hair removal at least 2-3 days prior. This includes eyebrow waxing, etc and is just to eliminate any redness or irritation that may occur.
of smiling and laughing. Make sure your teeth are nice and white. A whitening treatment a week prior should be plenty.
LIPS -
Chapped lips are no fun. For two days prior to the session put Vaseline or some sort of oil on your lips before you go to bed. It will make your lips silky smooth. I also suggest exfoliating your lips the night before by making a homemade sugar scrub.
about your exposure to the sun and wear sun block, especially on your face and chest. Tan lines are not easily removed and will not be photoshoped. If you do tan in a tanning bed, just make sure to do so at least 2 days prior, and only do this if you regularly do so.
BREAKOUTS
-
No matter what the temptation, please please do not try out any new makeup or facial beauty products prior to the session. You don't want any unnecessary surprises. Should any unwelcome visitors pop up, please do not pick or mess with it. It is easier for the makeup artist to cover it up if it has not been messed with at all.

8IBU UP EP b ]]] CLOTHES PLEASE, please, please, feel free to text me your outfit ideas. I love helping pick out outfits + accessories, many of my seniors do this to ensure the best outfits for their portraits. The night before your senior photo session, put together all of your outfits. Put each outfit on hangers and check them for wrinkles. It will show up if the clothes are wrinkled. Iron your clothes the night before to get out all the wrinkles. Come with your clothes on a hanger.
JEWELS Take a small clutch and put all of your jewelry in it. You might even go so far as to separate in a Zip-lock bag the jewelry for each outfit. Then take your shoes and put them in a suitcase. Along with your bags of jewelry.
UNDERGARMENTS Make sure to pack in your suitcase any appropriate undergarments and at least one strapless bra. No one wants a bra strap in their photos. Also make sure if you are wearing a white dress that it isn’t see through. I would suggest bringing all nude undergarments to make sure nothing shines through.
Don’t forget any props or special items!
)BJS 'BDF You should come with a clean moisturized face. No makeup. Your hair should be washed the day before and dried naturally no hair products. Bring a hoodie or something easy to take off, so you don’t get makeup on your clothes or mess up your fabulous hair. Rest assured. You are in good hands. I like to bring along an emergency beauty kit that has everything from emery boards to bug spray.
) ), (. If you are wearing a sleeveless top please make sure to wear clear deodorant. It can show up in the photo - no one wants white marks on their tops. Or - I know this is totally gross, but if you can stand to not wear deodorant for a day, I would advise not wearing any at all. I absolutely won’t judge.
AND depending on your session, my Makeup Artist might just be on set to make any changes.
