How to Prepare For A Photo Shoot

Be YOU!!!

First and foremost, it is incredibly important to communicate clearly with your photographer. I cannot stress this enough.
If you have any questions you should most definitely make sure to ask.
If you have any doubts? Tell your photographer.
Just make sure to talk about your expectations for the session. It is now where you need to communicate to your photographer what it is that you want and need for your photo shoot. This will help you and your photographer work together to make sure your images turn out just the way you had imagined.

Your photographer might have some input on color (a green shirt on a green background might not be the smartest choice) but it is ultimately up to you how you will look in your pictures.
Ask yourself:
What do I feel comfortable in?
What do I love to wear?
What do I feel sexy in?
What do I feel beautiful in?

Make sure to avoid too many patterns since that might take attention away from you. You are, after all, what the photo shoot is about.

Personally, with my clients, I tell them to wear what they feel the most comfortable and the most beautiful in.
It doesn’t matter if you are wearing an amazing designer gown. If you don’t feel comfortable in it, it will show in the portraits.
That kinda defeats the purpose, don’t you think?

This day is about you, and why not have tons of fun with it?
Your photographer will try to help you feel as relaxed as possible, but he/she can only do so much. Having an open mind and being prepared to have fun, will help you relax and enjoy your session.
Most photographers have music on set. Here you can ask to put on some music that you love. That is of course only if the photographer does not ask you first. Maybe make a playlist of powerful songs that make you feel truly amazing and high-spirited?
I can promise you, that music will help ease your mood and shed that last stubborn nervousness that was not lost in the bath.
