If you’re about to have a photoshoot and want to feel confident and prepared, this guide is here to help. You’ll find tips on styling, preparation, posing, and feeling relaxed in front of the camera. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable — and deliver beautiful, authentic photos that feel like you.
1. Define the purpose of the shoot
Think about what you’re shooting for:
- updating your portfolio
- creating stylish portraits for yourself
- capturing your confidence and personality
- marking a life moment (new job, birthday, personal transformation)
2. Choose a mood and aesthetic
Photoshoots can have different vibes:
- Natural: soft light, light makeup, cozy setting
- Business portrait: sharp look, clean background
- Conceptual: bold visuals, strong idea
- Fashion-inspired: editorial feel, stylized and elegant
Feel free to share ideas and inspiration with me!
3. Outfits & wardrobe
- Go for solid, neutral pieces — timeless and always relevant
- Avoid large logos and loud patterns
- Accessories — minimal and tasteful
- Bring 2–3 outfits for variety
Working with a stylist is a great idea — they can help you look your best with balanced, expressive combinations.
4. Makeup & hair
- Keep makeup natural and fresh
- Aim for matte skin (studio lights highlight shine)
- Choose to emphasize either eyes or lips (not both)
- Hair should feel natural — soft, effortless styles work well
5. Prep before the session
- Get enough sleep
- Avoid heavy food and alcohol the day before
- Moisturize your skin, lips, and hands
- Wear contact lenses? Bring a spare pair
- Tip for women: If possible, schedule the shoot around ovulation — your skin and eyes will look their best
6. On the day of the shoot
- Don’t rush — plan for commute time
- Bring water and a small snack (nuts, energy bar)
- Music helps? Make a playlist you enjoy
- I’ll guide you through the rest — posing, energy, and mood are my job
7. Posing & comfort
- Feeling nervous is totally normal
- I’ll help you feel safe and guided throughout
- Natural is key — no forced poses
- Interact with your clothes, hair, surroundings — it adds life
- Most importantly — enjoy the process
8. After the session
- You’ll receive your photos as promised
- I’d love to hear your feedback — it means a lot and helps others too
Photoshoots are more than images — they’re memories and emotion. My role is to make it a beautiful, relaxed and meaningful experience for you.
