Scheduling a professional photoshoot is a chance for you to enjoy your time in the spotlight. Your photographer knows exactly how to capture you at your very best, and you can be confident in the quality of your pictures. But there are steps that you can take to make sure that the photography session goes smoothly. Here’s what you need to know.

What Should You Wear?

Choosing the right clothes is among the biggest decisions of all. The answer is to be true to yourself. Wear what feels most comfortable to you; avoid anything that’s snug or simply doesn’t feel right. Your discontent may show on your face otherwise.

Bring multiple items along with you so that you can change your clothing throughout the shoot. Although bright colors that flatter you are great, avoid wearing anything too flashy or busy that might take attention away from the actual subject of the photo.

How Can You Relax?

If you’re trying too hard to look a certain way during your photography session, you might appear slightly out of your element and feel a bit uncomfortable.

Breathe deeply if you feel nervous, remind yourself that there’s a professional at the helm, and allow your body to relax. The calmer that you are, the more natural your smile and expression will be in your pictures.

What About Makeup Rules?

While there are no “rules,” per se, it’s best to use a light hand when you apply your makeup. Opt for natural colors that flatter your features and aim to call attention to one key feature.

For example, you can apply a pop of color to your lips and keep the eye makeup light, or vice versa. Avoid wearing anything too dark or unnatural, especially if it’s a headshot session. You want to appear as natural as possible.
