Don't know where to begin? Here are my 5 tips for you to rock it!
For some, getting organized and thinking about your upcoming photo shoot can be a daunting task. So let me take you through my personal journey and share 5 tips on how to get organized.
1. Theme:
If you know me, then you must know, I am BIG on themes. Set a tone for what you want your photographs and memories to capture. It can be whatever you choose. Be it seasons or occasions etc., but pick that theme to start.
2. Style:
Next, pick an attire that compliments that theme and your personal style as well. For example, in the picture below, I wanted to show a luxury lifestyle on a yacht, so I picked an attire that exhibits the trend of luxury and high fashion. If I wanted to turn this shoot into a fun party, I would have picked a mini dress (baby doll style) or a romper to match the theme.

3. Hair & Makeup:
You want to feel confident and sexy when doing your shoot. A little bit of pampering goes a long way! Go on and spoil yourself with hiring a professional to do your hair and makeup. The pictures are here to stay forever.
4. Photographer:
A picture captures a lifetime of memories. You want to have your memories captured in a beautiful way right? Then get a professional photographer. They will also have ideas on how to pose and what looks good with the setting.
5. Have fun:
Don't worry about what the pictures look like behind the lens. That is the photographer's job. Your job is to have fun! Be natural and be you!
Get Inspired
Of course, there are other detailed aspects that fall under themes, props, styles (color palettes) etc. which I usually consider.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, then find a consultant to help you with that special photo shoot. (You can definitely message me as your consultant
