Hair & Makeup: Enhancing Your Natural Beauty

The goal here is to look like the most radiant version of yourselves, not dramatically different.

• Hair: Should be clean, styled, and comfortable. Consider the elements for outdoor shoots – a little wind can create beautiful movement, but hair constantly blowing in faces might be frustrating. Simple braids or half-up styles can be great for kiddos.
• Makeup (for adults): Think natural enhancement. Even out skin tone with a light foundation or tinted moisturizer, define eyes with a touch of mascara and liner, and add a healthy flush with blush. Matte or satin finishes are often best, as anything too shimmery can reflect light unexpectedly. A neutral or slightly brighter lip color can add a touch of freshness.
• Nail It: Don't overlook your hands and nails! They often find their way into photos, whether we're capturing sweet hand-holding moments or little ones' fingers wrapped around a parent's thumb. Ensure nails are clean and neatly trimmed. For adults, a fresh manicure in a neutral, classic, or color-coordinated shade will add a polished finish to your overall look. Avoid chipped polish or very bright, distracting colors that might draw the eye away from your beautiful faces.
