Things to do
Before your Session
Complete your Location Choice Questionnaire at least 7 days prior to your session. It's located in your Session Prep email. *For Classic and Deluxe Sessions Only
Shop for your outfits at least 1 month before your session.
*Deluxe Sessions - 4 outfits, Classic Sessions - 3 outfits, Mini Sessions - 2 outfits
MOISTURIZE your skin and drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. And please NO to self tanner or skin tinting lotions.
Get a fresh cut and color* 7-14 days before your session. It's always best to have healthy hair and a fresh new color with no major outgrowth of roots. Sorry girls, I can't fix your roots.
*I only suggest getting a color or highlight IF you already dye your hair.
TEXT outfit selections to me at 985-665-4631 prior to your session day. Recommended at least 7 days prior
EAT BEFORE YOUR SESSION - don't think that you will look bloated after eating. Just EAT please. Hangry teenager is never cute in pictures. Don't worry, you won't have a hangry photographer either
WASH & DRY HAIR and WASH FACE before arriving to your hair and makeup appointment.
IRON OR STEAM your outfits. This is VERY important. I can't edit wrinkles out.
Get a good night of sleep on the night before your session. You will be the star of the show and your session day will be a super long one. I will need you to be just as happy and peppy as I am. Don't make this old grandma (a pretty cool grandma) outdo your energy level.
NAILS should be neatly manicured. I recommend a neutral nail polish color (soft pinks work very well)
USE A LIP SCRUB to avoid cracked, dry looking lips in pictures.
EYEBROWS should be professionally waxed or well groomed a few days prior to session day

Prep Tip:
BRING it
Things to
Bring to your Session
BRING HAIRSPRAY and a BRUSH or comb for hair fixes during your session.
BRING PAYMENT - If your account is past due on any payments, bring full payment with you to your session to get your account up to date. If you selected a travel session, payment is due on the day of your session.
BRING DRINKS & SNACKS - sessions involve a lot of energy burning. Bring something to drink and a small snack to refuel energy
GIRLS - BRING LIPSTICK OR LIP GLOSS to refresh your lip color
BOYS - BRING CHAPSTICK to keep your lips from looking dry or chapped
ARRIVE in casual clothes. We will decide which outfit will be worn first when we arrive at your first location
BRING PROPS YOU PLAN TO USE - prop examples: school jacket, sports items, cap and gown (long robe), senior sign, instrument
Bring comfortable shoes for walking between locations
BRING a large soft duffel bag that we can later use to carry items on your session
BRING A LIGHT JACKET - Prepare for unexpected colder temps
BRING JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES - Tip to keep jewelry from tangling: separate your necklaces in ziplock bags. DON'T FORGET YOUR SENIOR RING! *Belts tend to be forgotten at home. I recommend getting your accessories together earlier than the night before
BRING OUTFITS ON HANGERS (NOT in a garment bag) - bring the correct undergarments for your outfits. NO Sports Bras - don't smash your ladies like that lol. *I have a changing tent for you to change outfits in
