I've been in this industry for 17 years, and I truly believe this information will help you get the best out of your shoot! So scroll through and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

On this page, you'll find a preparation checklist and a general wardrobe guides that even I use when reporting to set. Just a friendly reminder: you can never have too many wardrobe options. While we may not shoot everything you bring, it never hurts to have extra looks on hand.

PREPARING FOR YOUR SHOOT!

ARRIVAL

I always aim to be at least 10-15 minutes early to get settled before each shoot. However, if you arrive EXTRA early, please note that I might be finishing up another shoot or working/traveling from another location.

Please arrive promptly at your shoot time. If you're running late, give me a call or text!

PREPARATION CHECKLIST

Here is a quick checklist to make sure you are prepped, packed, and ready for your photoshoot. Doing these things the night before your shoot will ensure that you are prepared. It will also take some of the stress away on shoot day which will help you feel relaxed and ready to take some great shots.

☐ Try on all of your clothes to ensure they fit
☐ Lay out your outfit ideas
☐ Iron or steam clothes
☐ Gather wardrobe on hangers to prevent wrinkling

HAIR + SKIN + NAILS

☐ Clean, trim, and fix nail polish chips
☐ Shave (if necessary)
☐ Groom eyebrows (if necessary)
☐ Get haircut/trim (if necessary)
☐ Moisturize skin & don't pop pimples
☐ Get a good night's sleep

TO PACK

☐ Socks

WHAT TO WEAR?

Think about the roles that you audition and get cast for and dress the part and when you are on set, what kind of clothing do they put you in?

Do you have any special skills, talents, or hobbies to feature?
