Tips For Your Family Session – #3

So, you’ve found the right photographer.  Spent a ton of time picking out the perfect outfits.  You’re stressed and worried that your kids will behave, the weather will cooperate, and that your husband will act like he’s having fun.  What next?  How about treating yourself!  I suggest to my moms that they save their next haircut for the day of the shoot.  That way their hair looks picture perfect.  

And while they are getting their hair done, why not schedule a makeup appointment as well?  Not only will that give you the confidence to know you look your best, but it will also make a huge difference in your pictures.  It helps your eyes pop, your skin look smooth, and  your complexion look great.  I always get my makeup professionally done when we have our pictures taken.  I’m totally hopeless when it comes to those things!  And I absolutely love it when my clients get their makeup done.  I can’t even tell you how much time it saves me retouching them and how much more natural it looks than photoshop.  If you’re not used to getting your makeup professionally done it can be a little shocking.  Ask the makeup artist to go a little lighter than they normally would.  I would also suggest going to a professional makeup artist rather than someone in the mall.  I’m not saying that the girls in the mall aren’t pros.  They are and a lot of them are great.  But, when you make a appointment at the counter you never know who you are going to get.  I suggest asking your photographer for recommendations of people they have worked with in the past so you know you’re getting someone who does great work for this purpose.

So, treat and pamper yourself on the day of your shoot!  I promise you’ll love the results!
