1. Preparation the Day Before the Shoot
✦ Sleep and Alcohol: Get enough sleep and avoid alcohol 24 hours before the shoot to prevent puffiness in the heat.
✦ Rest: Avoid excursions on the day of the shoot so you don’t get tired.
✦ Skin: Use SPF and sunbathe only in the shade.
✦ Clothing: Steam your clothes in advance (“ironing” is not included in retouching). For fabrics that wrinkle easily, bring a travel iron from home.
2. Getting Ready on the Day of the Shoot
✧ Hotel Wristbands: Remove them in advance (removal is not included in retouching).
✦ Payment: Prepare the remaining balance in cash (new € or $ bills). If you need change, please let me know in advance.
✦ Water and Snacks: Be sure to bring water. For children, bring “clean” snacks that won’t stain clothes (nuts, gummy candies).
✦ Mini Makeup Bag: A comb, lipstick, dry and wet wipes.
✦ For Hair: It is windy on the coast—use hairspray, and bring bobby pins or hair clips.
✦ Change of Shoes: Comfortable flip-flops for moving between locations.
✦ Shoot by the Water: If shots in the water are planned, bring a towel and dry clothes.
3. Organization and Meeting
✦ Confirmation: The day before the photoshoot, please be sure to confirm that everything is still on.
✧ Glasses: Do not wear sunglasses 1–2 hours before the shoot to avoid marks on the bridge of your nose.
✦ Meeting Place: I will send the geolocation and landmarks. Please let me know before you leave. If necessary, you can call me from the driver’s phone.
✦ Meeting Time: Arrive 5–10 minutes before the start. The shoot is tied to sunrise or sunset, as the sun will not wait.
✦ Personal Space: To avoid unnecessary questions, do not share the details of our meeting with hotel photographers.
I am always available and happy to help you with the preparation
