Today I had the experience of being photographed by a professional photographer. I woke up this morning feeling nothing less than beautiful. My faithful friend/soRhor/sister accompanied on my first professional photo shoot and I tell you, if it were not for her, I may have been lost. Of course we picked out the outfits, shoes, and accessories I would wear last night. My hair, a twist-out using Jane Carter’s Solution Nourish and Shine and Moisture Butter by Beautiful Textures. I just thought I would share a few things with you about going on a photo shoot:
1. Take attire and shoes that can be worn indoors/outdoors and be comfortable in. Check the weather ;)
2. Accessorize; taking too many accessories may leave you overwhelmed and undecided about what to wear with what. Take only those pieces you will wear with your outfit and maybe 1-2 extra.
3. Keep “bling” to a minimum. Too much gold or silver may produce a glare that actually takes away from the quality of the picture. Instead opt for colors that “pop” within your outfits and shoes.
4. Make-up. While some people may want their natural beauty to do what it does, there are types of make-up available that actually enhances, without overdoing, your natural beauty. (Less is more).
5. Whatever outfits you take, make sure it will be okay to mix and match and don’t be afraid of color.
These are just a few tips from me.
Be breezy people and live everyday as if it is your last because Y.O.L.O.!!!
