I often get asked about what to wear for a photoshoot and if it is necessary to do hair and makeup. Let’s unravel the secrets to looking absolutely amazing in your upcoming photoshoot session. Whether you're prepping for a casual senior photoshoot or your official graduation photos, these style tips will have you radiating confidence in front of the camera.
Flatter Your Figure with the Right Fit:
Fit is essential and it doesn’t matter about your body-type! Whether you're rocking a flowy maxi dress or tailored pantsuit, choose outfits that accentuate your shape. Highlight your best features and feel comfortable in your attire. Remember, confidence shines through when you feel good in what you're wearing.
Lose the logos - unless it is on your varsity jacket
While trends come and go, it is always best to avoid wearing clothing with large logos. They take away attention from you, and that is what we really want to notice in the photos.
Mindful Makeup
The right makeup can enhance your features and ensure you look flawless. Opt for a natural, dewy finish with foundation, emphasize your eyes with mascara and eyeliner, and choose a lip color that compliments your outfit. Don't forget to bring a touch-up kit for your photoshoot. Not sure what that is? Check out my blog post on Essential Items to Bring to Your Photoshoot!
Hair Matters:
Your hairstyle is the finishing touch that completes your look. Whether you prefer sleek and polished or tousled and carefree, ensure your hair complements your overall style and the vibe of the photoshoot. It isn’t necessary to have your hair professionally done for a casual shoot, but if you struggle with styling it, then it would be advisable to get some help. For a more formal shoot with your graduation dress or suit, a professionally styled hair can really make your whole look complete.
Consider the Setting:
Your outfit should harmonize with the photoshoot location. If you're in a natural setting, earthy tones or flowy fabrics might be ideal. For an urban backdrop, consider contemporary styles and bold colors that pop against the cityscape.
Confidence is Your Best Accessory:
The most important tip of all – wear confidence like it's your favorite accessory. Stand tall, smile, and embrace the joy of the moment. Your positive energy will radiate through the photos, making every shot a true reflection of your amazing self.
As you gear up for your photoshoot, remember that style is a personal journey. These tips are here to guide you, not restrict you. So, go ahead, experiment, and let your unique style shine through and I promise we will get some amazing photos.
