✦ Beauty and Well-being
✦ Sleep and Routine: Try to get a good night’s sleep before the shoot. I recommend avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours prior: in hot climates, it often causes swelling and puffiness.
◈ Protect Your Skin: Use SPF and sunbathe only in the shade.
Important: Do not wear sunglasses for 1–2 hours before the start to avoid marks on the bridge of your nose.
✧ Hotel Wristbands: Please remove them in advance. They look like an unnecessary detail in the frame, and their removal is not included in the retouching.
◈ Planning and Preparation
✦ Shoot Day: I recommend avoiding excursions on this day. Even a short trip can lead to fatigue. Dedicate your time to calm rest.
◈ Clothing: Please steam or iron your clothes in advance. There will be no opportunity to fix wrinkles during the shoot, and “ironing” is not provided during retouching.
✧ Punctuality and Logistics
✦ Transport: Just message me to organize a transfer. If traveling on your own, it is worth checking with reception in advance for taxi availability or car rentals for your date.
◈ Meeting Point: I will send you the exact geolocation as well as photos and videos. Please message me immediately upon arrival.
✧ Meeting Time: Please arrive 5–10 minutes before the start. Our work is tied to the sunset. In case of lateness, the shooting time is reduced because the sun will not wait.
✦ What to Bring?
✦ Water and Snacks: Drinking water is a must. For children, bring “clean” snacks (nuts, gummies) that do not stain clothes.
◈ Mini Makeup Bag: A comb, lipstick, dry and wet wipes — everything you need to quickly touch up your look.
✧ Change of Shoes: For shoots on te beach or rocks, bring comfortable flip-flops for moving between locations.
✦ Shooting by the Water: If we plan shots in the sea or pool, don’t forget to bring a towel and a spare set of clothes.
It’s often windy on the coast, so use hairspray. Bring bobby pins, hair clips, or pretty ribbons.
◈ Organizational Details
✦ Payment: Please prepare the remaining balance in cash in Euros or Dollars (new banknotes). If you need change, please let me know in advance.
◈ Personal Space: If hotel photographers show interest, I recommend not sharing details of our meeting. This helps avoid unnecessary questions and keeps our walk as peaceful as possible.
I am here to help and will gladly assist you with the preparation!
