Glamming up your photo session can take your photos from meh to STUNNING, adding a touch of fun and style. Whether you’re preparing for a portrait session, engagement shoot, or any other photography session, here are some tips to help you look and feel your best:

1. Choose the Right Outfit: Select outfits that complement your style and the theme of the photo session. Consider colors that flatter your skin tone and fabrics that photograph well, such as silk or chiffon. Avoid busy patterns that may distract from your face.

2. Accessorize: Accessories can make or break. Unless you’re going full editorial, stick to dainty jewelry that compliments your skin tone and outfit.

3. Hair and Makeup: Professional hair and makeup can elevate your look and ensure you look flawless in photos. Consider booking a hair and makeup artist to help you achieve the perfect look for your photo session. If you’re doing your own makeup, opt for a slightly more dramatic look and add fake eyelashes. They make such a huge difference! 

4. Nails and little details: Pay attention to details like clean nails and fresh eyebrows. These small touches can make a big difference in your photos and probably shorten your photographers return time.

5. Location and Lighting: Choose a location with your photographer that is complimentary to the style you’re going for in your photo session. Natural light is often the most flattering, so consider scheduling your session during the golden hour, just after sunrise or before sunset, for soft, warm light.

6. Pose and Posture: Practice posing and maintaining good posture to ensure you look confident and elegant in your photos. Relax your shoulders, elongate your neck, and look to your photographer to guide you in flattering poses and postures.

7. Bring Props: Consider bringing props that complement your outfit and add interest to your photos. Flowers are a really inexpensive but amazing way to add some some variety to any session. $8 on a grocery store bouquet can make a huge difference. Props can help tell a story or add a personal touch to your photoshoot.

8. Be Confident and Have Fun: The most important tip for elevating your photo session is to be confident and have fun. Relax, enjoy the experience, and let your personality shine.
