Arrival

Arrive early the appointment. Not to lose camera time.

Give yourself plenty of time to find your way to the shoot location. Plan for a traffic problem. Having a buffer in case you get lost will save some stress.

Style

You’re unique and beautiful. Be yourself in how you dress.

Be fashionable. Wear clothing that’s stylish and put a lot of thought into your choices.

Props

They’re great! Bring props that help show who you are. Some popular choices are:

Sports equipment (soccer ball, basketball, softball bat, etc.)

Sports uniforms

Musical instruments

Activity related items (dance, art, school clubs, etc.)

Glasses - Most lenses have a glare. The safest a similar pair without lenses.

Tanning

Tan lines are a distraction and take away from your photos. We suggest you use a tanning bed and varied swimsuit tops to minimize any existing tan lines. If you choose to tan outside or in a tanning bed. Be mindful, not to look orange and leathery.
