Waterproof mascara is best

For hair:
Style it how you feel most confident
Loose curls, waves, or volume photograph beautifully
Bring a brush + hairspray for touchups

Add HMU To Your Session

The Day Before Your Session

Hydrate well

It helps skin look smooth and glowing.

Avoid new skincare products

Prevent redness or breakouts.

Shave or wax (optional)

Do what makes you comfortable — not required.

Lay out outfits

Make sure everything is clean and wrinkle-free.

Get a good night’s sleep

You’ll look more refreshed and feel more confident.

On the Day of Your Shoot

✔ Wear loose clothing

Avoid tight socks, bras, leggings, or anything that leaves marks on your skin.

✔ Keep jewelry simple

Rings/necklaces/bracelets are great, but avoid heavy pieces if they don’t match your sets.

✔ Eat something light

You’ll feel better and more energized.

✔ Arrive 5–10 minutes early

This helps us start relaxed and on time.

✔ Trust the process

We guide every pose, every look, every expression — you’re never alone.
