Having your picture taken is not on the top of most people's list for "fun things to do". With a great photographer and these suggestions, you can relax, have fun and get the best image ever taken of you.

​

1.  Schedule your session a few days in advance. Stressing to get ready for your session adds unneeded pressure on you.

​

2.  Dress and put on makeup like you are going to a job interview. Don't overdo either one. Light makeup is better. 

​

3.  Wear things that make you feel good. If you feel good you will look your best.

​

4.  Drink plenty of water a few days prior to your session. Your skin will look healthier and your lips will not be chapped.

​

5.  Make sure you have plenty of time in your session. Pick a photographer who will shoot until you get what you need.

​

6.  Do not wear complex patterns or jewelry. The focus should be on your face, not your necklace.

​

7.  When you are posing, try to "squinch" your eyes a slight bit (almost like reading the last line on an eye chart any the doctor). This brings confidence to your face.

​

8.  Practice pushing your forehead up and towards the camera without moving your body. This tightens your jawline.

​

9.  Ask for your favorite music to be played.

​

10.  Bring clothing options.
