  • What do I Need to Bring?
    Some good things to bring for your photo shoot are baby oil, shimmer lotion, matching lingerie sets, bikinis, shoes, high heels, sexy outfits, props to add in, belts and other things you might want to add into the photos!


  • To prepare for your shoot, ideally, you should try to get atleast 8 hours of sleep the night before. Also, try to free up several hours of your day, if not the whole day, so you're not trying to rush your shoot. I recommend eating a light meal a few hours before your shoot, but nothing big. I also believe a tan makes a huge difference in photos. Yes, I can make you tanner through the use of gel lighting, but it works so much better when you have a little of a base. But, obviously, this is a matter of personal preference.


  • Don't worry, we'll help you pose! But I can't tell you how much better a shoot is when we have pictures to emulate. So look in your favorite magazines and tear out the pictures that you like. Or search online and print out pictures, they can even be ones from our website that I've taken. But don't worry, if you don't have any pictures, when you get here I'll show you some pictures I've taken and then I'll talk to you about what you want to get done and we can go from there!


  • Bring the right outfits to the shoot. Which ones depend on the type of pictures you want to do. If you want playboy style pictures, then you probably won't need much more than several pairs of lingerie and some sexy outfits. But if you're looking for commercial/fashion style pictures suitable for modeling portfolios and such, then be sure to bring several different outfits.


  • Get your nails done!


  • Keep your lips and skin moist (ie, dry & cracked lips don't look sexy in photos :) ).


  • Don't be nervous. There is no reason to be! From the make-up artist to the receptionist to the management to the photographer, we'll all make you feel at home.


  • Wear loose clothing when you arrive. There's nothing that will ruin a shoot more than clothing lines on your skin from tight clothes. So it helps to wear light clothing such as sweat pants etc.


  • Bring a good attitude! It WILL show in the pictures.


    I hope I answered most of the questions you have, but if not, please don't hesitate to drop me an email at shawn@couturephotography.com.
