Makeup, Hair + Lashes

Additionally, if it’s in your budget I recommend all of my clients to invest in professional hair and makeup. Hiring a professional will make a drastic difference in the quality of your photos and portrait experience. You are already making a large investment in your portrait experience, so why not make it the best it can be?! So exactly why is it so important?

1. THEY ARE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS

When you are investing in a professional photographer, you want to make sure the images look their absolute best. Professional hair + makeup + lash artist are TRAINED to do hair + makeup + lashes so that they photograph well. They will conceal spots you don’t like, contour your face so it looks the best in every light, use colors that compliment your skin to make it look flawless, make your eyes POP with lashes + shadows, manicure your eyebrows to perfection and more!

2. LESS STRESS

Preparing for a portrait session is stressful in and of itself. Trying to do your hair + makeup by yourself can make things even harder.

3. WHO DOESN’T LIKE BEING PAMPERED?!

I don’t ever want my clients to feel like their portrait session is just simply “taking pictures”, I want it to be an EXPERIENCE. So, if my clients arrive after an hour of being pampered + beautified, the entire experience has already started on a good note! If a client arrives frustrated or stressed, it can affect the entire experience, including the way you look in photographs!

Although, if it’s not in your budget and you aren’t a big fan of makeup— you can do it yourself or have a friend help you! I know I am a minimal makeup wearier. I will most likely show up with no makeup on because that’s how I go about my everyday life. I want you to feel comfortable and be you. If you love getting glam, get glam. If you love to be natural, be natural! Do what you love and what makes you feel confident. You are beautiful with or without makeup.

I highly recommend for MAKEUP & HAIR (in College Station):

Glow + Grace Artistry @glowandgraceartistry

And, one last tip!! In all the chaos of portrait session prep... DON’T FORGET TO PAMPER YOUR NAILS! During your shoot, a lot of the poses we do will have your hands close to your face and in the frame, so make sure that your nails look just how you want! Try to avoid any chipped polish or crazy patterns. French manicures, light/natural colors and even nails with no color at all photograph best! 

Outfit Tips

Stuck on what to wear? I’m here to help! Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks to help you guide your outfit choices! Choosing what you wear for your photo shoot is a huge decision that can make or break your portrait session! I know that sounds dramatic... but, if you accidentally wear something that isn’t flattering on camera or something that you don’t feel comfortable in... it can ruin the experience for you! So, here are some of the best ways to choose what to wear.

1. BE COMFORTABLE

If you do not like fitted clothing (super tight dresses or pieces that fit awkwardly) then leave them at home! Personally, I try to steer clear of items that are fitted in my tummy area (don’t we all?) just because it makes me self-conscious and I’m constantly wondering if it looks bad. So, if there are pieces in your closet that make you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable, don’t include them in your portrait session wardrobe!

2. BE BRIGHT + THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

I love white & black! But try to think outside the box. Try to choose colors that POP and that compliment your hair + skin colors! Primary colors like red, royal blue and yellow photograph beautifully as well as emerald green, bright purples, pinks, oranges and any other colors that really POP! Sometimes, color combos that may seem odd in person end up photographing BEAUTIFULLY on camera!

3. ADD LAYERS

In the cold months, adding layers to your outfits always looks STUNNING in portraits! Scarfs + jackets are also a great choice, they add so much dimension to your images and makes for super fun posing options! Even in warmer months, you can add these layers + dimension by wearing a tank top with a cute sheer kimono or by throwing a denim vest over a dress!

4. PLAY WITH TEXTURES

Sometimes textures like sequins, furs and sparkles can be considered “daring” or “over the top” but, in portraits, they are the BEST! Adding texture to your outfit makes the biggest difference, and it prevents the images from looking dull! Combining textures that you may not normally use together like sequins + cable knit sweaters or leather + fur make great pairs!

5. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ACCESSORIZE

During a session, or any photo shoot, the more the merrier! When planning your outfits don’t forget to plan accessories!! Stacks of bangles, long necklaces, statement pieces, scarves, hats, bright shoes and other add-ons can make or break an outfit!

6. MIX IT UP

When planning your outfits make sure that you have a VARIETY of looks! I tell all of my clients to choose from these categories: casual, cozy, dressy, school-related, sportsrelated, preppy or edgy. I always recommend 2-3 of those categories and finding outfits accordingly. This provides a beautiful array of looks during your portrait session, so each outfit looks dramatically different!
