Uncommon Professional Photoshoot Tips that Work!

If you’ve been here, or follow me on instagram, for any length of time, you know I love to give out tips for your professional photoshoot. In fact, I have a whole bunch of articles written with just tips and tricks that you can read!

Well, today I’m giving my top 5 professional family or newborn photoshoot tips that work that I haven’t heard much, but make a huge difference in your photos.

  • Wrinkles be gone- If you don’t have an iron, or like to iron, throw your clothes into the dryer with a damp washcloth for 5 min to get the wrinkles out. If the clothes you chose are especially prone to wrinkling, throw some Downy Wrinkle Release in the car. It works wonders!

  • Keep those clothes clean- Do not change into your clothes until you are almost out the door for outdoor shoots, or until your photographer is almost there for indoor shoots. Wear a button up or a robe so you don’t have to pull something over your head. For little ones, arrive early and dress them at the location. From spills, to wrinkles, so much can happen from the house to the car!

  • Ban frizzy hair- Use hair oil on the tips of your hair to keeps loose hairs and flyaways at bay and give your hair extra shine.

  • Ditch the tan lines- Take off your smart watches before your session and if anyone has a tan line, use a bronzer or foundation to fill it in.

  • Have good vibes- Play fun music in the car on the way to the shoot, or in the house before your shoot if it’s in home. It’s always a little stressful to get everyone ready, so making sure you start out on a positive note is key!
