WHY GLAMOUR?

But, you would be surprised at the number of women in their 40’s, 50”s & 60’s (even older), who have enjoyed a Glamour shoot and all of the fun & empowerment, the confidence that embracing your individuality and beauty can bring.

How to prepare for your Glamour Session….
I will help you style the mood of your Portrait session. This is a full on model-like magazine style Portrait session. We choose your outfits, makeup, hairstyles and clothes to capture the best in you. You can even pull from our ever growing style closet and play dress up for the day.
Exfoliate the face to help remove any dead skin cells that might be visible through the sharp lens of the camera, a few days before.
Groom eyebrows - they frame your face. Plucking or waxing should be done 2-3 days prior to the shoot.
Touch up your hair color &/or get a trim. Healthy hair always looks fabulous on camera.
Get a manicure & a pedicure. Use nude colors or less bold choices for you hands. This allows for clothing changes and helps the images look cohesive. You can go wild with your toes! Anything goes!
Take care of body hair.
I personally love natural skin - but if you must spray tan then do this a few days prior.
Clothing selections should be creative, fun, comfortable and we should have lots of options. Something fitted, but not squeezing too tight can look amazing. Loose clothes come across baggy and sloppy on the images. I also love layers.
Accessories - the perfect jewelry, hat, pumps, boots etc. can tell your story.
Your style - any neckline - just avoid pin stripes or polka dots - they can create moire in the camera’s sensor.
