Most women think that you have to be a certain size, have a fabulous body, no wrinkles, gray hair and the body of a model to have the best 50 0ver 50 images. I'm here to tell you that is just not true. The difference between a model and a non-model client is the model already has the confidence already and has no fear of her images not turning out.
In this post, I will let you in on the 5 secretes to having the most amazing experience no matter if you are a model or not. It's all about paying attention to all the little details and your wants.
1. Wardrobe
A well-planned wardrobe selection will make all the difference in how you look and feel at your session and in your final images. Planning will take a little time but it will be well worth it. We can combine some of your outfit choice which are 3-4 with our wardrobe and create MAGIC!.
You're encouraged to bring any clothing or jewelry items that are sentimental that you'd like to be photographed in. It's good to bring a beige or black slip and or tank top to layer underneath other items. Solid colors and dark colors always look great. Neutrals or jewel tones look great on women.
The studio does have . wardrobe to help mix and match with yours Don't forget the shoes or boots, they add a great addition to your outfits!

2. Self Care
Let's talk about self care before your upcoming photoshoot this is quite important. The ladies notice the small things on themselves in photo , that they forgot to do their nails , getting their roots done etc. Getting prepared for your photo session ahead of time so that you are happy with all of your images. Paying special attention to all the details will make your photos something to be proud of.
If your planning on a salon visit for your hair prior to your photo session, it should be cut or coloured about a week prior to your session so your hair is to your liking prior to your shoot. Most ladies like to get a mani/peni a couple days before so they are polished pretty and won't be distracted by trying to hide their hands and feet.
Make sure to be well rested and drink plenty of water so that your skin is hydrated.
3. Hair and Makeup
Professional Hair and Makeup is a most for the 50 over 50 session. It brings out all of your beauty and creates the most amazing images. The Hair/Makeup artist will create her magic to accentuate your cheek bones, your beautiful eyes with temporary lashes etc. and we can't forget your lushes lips. We must remember that coming with clean dry hair. Moisturizing your skin is also important so the makeup process is flawless.
4. Confidence
"The most alluring thing a woman can have is Confidence" Beyonce
A woman's shape, age or the size of a woman , if she is feeling confident, she draws you in, she engages with you, she exudes .... Beauty.. She will walk into a room with her head held high and scoping the room like she owns it.
Confidence is defined as a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's abilities or qualities...
You will be guided with all the poses that will bring out your best features. Your body will be positioned in the best lighting for your body type and you will be photographed in a way that will celebrate you and the body you have at this present moment.
