A common question is "I booked my session, what now?"
The time between when you book your session and you're actually day can be daunting. Here are four steps I'd recommend following once you have booked.
#1. Consider your session and the vibe. This will not only make you pumped for your day, but it can also help you make decisions. You can also start a mood board and share it with your photographer to make sure you're getting exactly what you want!
#2. Plan your outfit, makeup, and hairstyle you want. Planning this ahead of time with take away some day of stress and make it a more enjoyable experience. You want to think about what the vibe is, where you will be, and what the weather is that day. You want to be comfortable and also yourself! For example: seniors should wear outfits that express their style and show their personality
#3. Take care of yourself! It is very important that you show yourself some love before your shoot. Eat well-balanced healthy meals, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest. Stick to your skincare routine and be active. This is the recipe to feeling and looking your best.
#4. Ease your mind! Trust that your photographer has planned the perfect day. Ask them for the game-plan if you need to see it before you show up. Confirm times, places, and if you need to bring anything. Prepare everything before that day. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready. Show up a little early and get familiar with your surroundings. Remember to have fun, be yourself, and try to relax!
Being prepared helps calm your nerves and will help you shine in your pictures. Be confident and just have fun capturing these memories!
