You’ve invested time and money for your upcoming brand photography session and you want to look your best. Here’s three tips on how to prepare for your shoot that will have you looking fabulous.
Keep reading for my favorite bonus tip!
Tip #1 – Get Plenty of Sleep
In the days leading up to your photo session, you will want to prioritize getting a good night’s sleep. Getting your beauty sleep is not just a cliché, it’s backed by clinical research.
Sleep boosts the production of collagen which minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sleep also increases blood flow to your skin which gives you that healthy glow and minimizes dark circles under your eyes. There’s a lot of other reasons why you should prioritize sleep on a regular basis, however start today in preparation for your photo shoot – even a few night’s sleep matter!
Tip #2 – Hydrate
The benefits of drinking water are well documented. Here’s three reasons why you should actually follow the recommended guidelines for daily water consumption in the week before your photo shoot.
- Drinking water increases blood flow to the skin which can help even out your skin tone and complexion.
- Water can help minimize acne by flushing toxins from the skin.
- improved hydration plumps up skin cells and smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles
Get the glow… drink your H2O!
Tip #3 – Skip the Alcohol & Sweets
Alcohol dehydrates your body and skin and can make your skin look more wrinkled and dry. Sugar is a leading cause of inflammation so if you’re prone to acne, eczema or psoriasis it can aggravate them. It’s best to save the champagne and cupcakes to celebrate after your photo shoot!
Bonus Tip – Hire the Pros
It’s not every day that you create professional brand photos for your business or professional headshots. Look your best – hire a professional makeup and hair stylist. I love this option for two reasons:
- Professional makeup artists know how to apply makeup that looks great on camera.
- Having professional hair and makeup done for your photoshoot is a great, relaxing way to start your day and gives you a huge confidence boost knowing that you look your best
I work with several hair and makeup stylists and am happy to schedule these services for your session.
