1. Clothing – Keep it Simple!

It’s best to layout outfits and accessories the night before your shoot. Make sure your clothes are ironed and free of any stains or rips. Have your accessories/jewelry/shoes ready to go for each outfit to guarantee a smooth photoshoot!

4. Accessories – Keep it minimal!

Adding a fun accessory can really make a boring photo fun and interesting! It’s important to not over accessorize and to avoid distracting jewelry or busy ties. You might want to consider a family heirloom or a class ring. Maybe a fun pair of shoes to pair with a simple outfit! Whatever you choose, make sure it represents you!
