CLOTHING
It is recommended to bring several different outfits for the photo shoot, and the cost of the photo shoot does not depend on the number of outfits. To ensure variety and versatility in the photos, you can bring 2-4 outfits that differ in style.
For example:
Casual
Something neutral and simple without bright prints. You can also interestingly combine two colors together. This will add style and simplicity at the same time.
Classic
A black or gray trouser suit is perfect for women. Or a long classic skirt and high heels to emphasize elegance and femininity.
Individual style
You can choose something very individual, for example, sportswear, lingerie (boudoir style), theatrical or stage costume. Don't limit yourself to stereotypes and don't follow fashion trends. Choose everything that matches your style and individuality.

MOOD
A good mood is an important component of a successful photoshoot, so it is important to avoid stress and conflicts on the day of the shoot. A happy mood will help you relax in front of the camera and capture natural emotions in your photos.
MAKE UP
Makeup plays an important role in a successful photo shoot, so it is recommended to pay attention to it. It is not necessary to do intense evening makeup or something overly complicated. It is enough to naturally even out the skin tone and emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes and lips. A good option is to use the services of a professional makeup artist. (If necessary, I can provide information on a professional makeup artist.)
HAIR
The choice of hairstyle varies depending on personal preferences, but a light texture and volume provide versatility and look great in photos. It is recommended to use the services of a professional hairdresser, who will help create a stylish and beautiful hairstyle specifically for the photo shoot. (If necessary, I can provide information on a professional hairdresser.)
FOOD
Don't starve yourself before a photoshoot to look slimmer in the pictures. Instead, focus on healthy eating and moderate portions to maintain energy and a good mood during the photoshoot. Also, if necessary, I can adjust the size of the stomach in the photos using Photoshop software.
POSING
For many people, posing in front of a camera can be scary and difficult because it is not always clear how to behave or which poses to choose. However, there's no need to worry because as a professional photographer, I am ready to help you with this. My goal is to make the process as comfortable as possible and capture your natural and effortless behavior in front of my camera.
These are just my suggestions and by no means rules or requirements.
Perhaps they will be useful for you.
