Photo Tips
1. Glitter or sparkly make-up appears as
sweat, choose a matte finish instead.
2. Wear foundation even if you don’t normally (it evens
out skin tones).
Your make-up will appear less noticable
in photos.
3. Don’t wear bold strips or patterns – it draws
the eye to your clothes and not you..
4. Trust your photograher to make you look good.
5. Leave enough time for your photo shoot. A rushed job is
not as fun or as productive.
6. Make sure that everyone who is involved with the shoot
knows where and when to be.
7. Try to choose an area without too many distractions
i.e. telephone poles, wires, cars
and household clutter
8. Sunny days are beautiful but a shady area makes for better
photos (no squinty eyes)
9. When it comes to photographing children, let kids be themselves.
The photographer will make it fun
for them and capture the moment.
10. Have fun and enjoy!!
