Butter Media Photo Shoot Tips

We want you to get the most out of your photo session. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  1. Schedule the photo session when you're in your prime and remember to get a good nights sleep.
  2. Solid colours are great. Try to stay away from anything too patterned.
  3. Ensure that your clothes are pressed or ironed. Wrinkles have a way of showing up on camera.
  4. Bring at least one additional change of clothes.
  5. Hire a makeup artist. If it's not within your budget, try to increase the amount of make-up you would normally wear - especially your foundation. Often times the lighting will wash the face out a bit.
  6. If you wear glases make sure you clean them before the shoot.
  7. If taking a group portrait, everyone should wear complimentary colors.
  8. Avoid short sleeves and tank-tops as the upper arm always tends to photograph wider than they are in real life
  9. Your hands may be included in portraits. Having your nails done is important.
  10. Have personal care items on premises, such as brush, comb, hairspray, make-up, lipstick, mirror, hair clips, etc.
  11. Keep a good posture with your back straight.
  12. Smile with your eyes.
  13. Take deep breaths, relax and have fun!
