First Photo Shoot, Tips Please?

[Mandy]

Okay, so I have my first photo shoot coming up soon, and have no idea how to prepare for it. I'm super nervous! Any tips or suggestions?

Check out my website www.roxy-tart.com. The pin up 101 section has tons of information for people new to this scene, including this article on tips for your first photo shoot. Good luck, can't wait to see the photos!

A few things I've learned from friends along with trial and error:

• Unless you're getting your hair and makeup done, practice it 2-3 times before hand if you want to try a new style.
• Do your nails!
• Take care of your skin, do a full body sugar scrub (mix olive oil and sugar at home for a cheap DIY) the day before and use a good lotion.
• If you're providing your own wardrobe, pack everything the night before. This prevents scampering about looking for your right shoe!
• Bring along your makeup/hair spray for touch ups.

And, most important of all, don't take yourself too seriously! ^-^ Have fun, laugh, and chat with your photographer... You can tell the difference between a model who is having fun and one who isn't in the final product.
