    General Guidelines:


    Should you require any make-up or hair styling, please let us know in advance. Professional Make-up is recommended for all photo shoots.

    Please have your hair done before we do your make-up – it is best to avoid heat (from the dryers) after make-up has been applied.

    1. Wear something loose and comfortable if you are planning to do a swimwear / lingerie shoot, or any shoot where you are going to show some skin – it is preferred that you do not have underwear marks on your shoulders and back.

    2. Feel free to bring with any props you might want to include in your shoot. This can include hats, wraps, flowers, interesting jewellery etc.

    3. Should you be interested in doing a full portfolio shoot, the following is recommended for your different looks:

      • Look 1 : swimwear
      • Look 2 : lingerie
      • Look 3 : fitting jeans with a sexy / interesting top
      • Look 4 : summer dress / fun shorts and top
      • Look 5/6 : cocktail dress (preferable in a strong, bright colour) / evening gown

      •  
    4. Please inform your make-up artist of any allergies (lanolin, mascara etc.) you might suffer from.
       

    NB: Please inform the service provider/s at least 48 hours before the shoot if you are not going to make your photo session. This allows the service provider/s to fill your session and avoids loss of income.
