Here’s a guide to set the tone for a smooth, inspired shoot that truly captures you:

• Outfits & Styling: Bring wardrobe options that reflect your personality or brand. Solid colors and minimal patterns often photograph best.
• Hair & Makeup: Arrive with makeup and hair done unless arranged otherwise. Feel free to bring touch-up items. For makeup, consider applying it slightly darker or more defined than usual. Natural shades tend to fade on camera, so a bit of extra emphasis helps bring out your features beautifully in photographs.
• Inspiration: Share reference images or bring a vision board if you have one.The more prepared you are, the more refined and aligned the final images will be to your vision.
• Props & Personal Touches: Items like journals, fabrics, florals, instruments, or faith-based symbols. Anything that tells your story.
• Music Playlist: Optional, but a custom playlist can set the vibe and help you relax. No playlist? I’ve got plenty: chill acoustics, soulful R&B, or upbeat pop to match your mood.
• Hydration & Snacks: A water bottle and light snack, especially for longer sessions, can help you stay energized. I’ll have some basic beverages on hand, but feel free to bring anything extra that keeps you feeling your best.
• Arrival Time: Arrive 5-10 minutes early to settle in, explore the space, and chat before we begin.
• Payment & Paperwork: Ensure bookings are confirmed and any remaining balance is settled before the shoot.
• Confidence: Most important, bring your true self. I’ll guide you through the rest.

Here’s a quick checklist to make sure everything’s set for a smooth, on-brand shoot that brings your offerings to life:

• Product Prep: Ensure items are clean, dust-free, and label-perfect. Small smudges show up big on camera.
• Styling Materials: Bring additional props, packaging, florals, fabrics, or textures that reflect your brand’s aesthetic.
• Product List: A shot list or breakdown of items to photograph helps us stay organized and thorough.
• Packaging Options: Include boxed vs unboxed versions if you’d like both represented.
• Brand Guidelines: Mood boards, logos, font styles, and color palettes to ensure brand consistency across visuals.
• Signature Touches: Think about what makes your brand feel personal and let's discuss how to incorporate this.
• Lighting Preferences: Let me know if there’s a particular mood or tone you're aiming for - bright and airy, moody and dramatic, or something in between.
• Usage Intent: Let me know where the images will be used - web, social, print - so I can tailor compositions and formats.
• Timing: Arrive with time to unpack and prep, or courier products ahead of time if arranged.
• Payment & Permissions: Confirm your booking and ensure release forms or usage agreements are complete if needed.
