I’d like to offer a list of suggestions to prepare for your portrait session. While not required, some are just overlooked and are here for a reminder. Please pay special attention to the section “day of ” – these are the most important.
Please do not work out the day before or the day of your session – you will be twisting and bending during the portraits and sore body parts will not make that fun!
{ before the session }
make sure you do not have swimsuit tan lines *
exfoliate your face and body
get your nails done
get your eyebrows done
shave/wax
cut hang tags out of all lingerie, panties, etc
remove stickers from the bottoms of shoes
{ day of the session }
come with a clean, moisturized face
brush your lips with your toothbrush to remove dry skin
wear (or bring) comfortable clothing that does not leave marks on your body
if you are getting your hair done : come with clean, no product, un-straightened hair
lather up with lotion
eat something! anything!
{ things to bring }

something that is meaningful to both of you
something you feel sexy in: jeans, shorts, a little skirt, corset w/ thigh highs or stockings (bring closed-toed shoes to wear with stockings), lingerie
something he would love you in: school girl outfit, french maid outfit, apron

{ * notes on spray tanning }
If you have never spray tanned before or get uneven results please make sure that you do a trial run before your portrait session. Retouching for uneven and splotchy tans will incur an additional fee.
