SESSION PREP INFO
~ Suggestions on What to Wear For the Session
Make sure you’ve tried on the outfits you would like to wear for the session, and more importantly, make sure you feel absolutely sexy in them. It’s all about attitude and when you feel like a hot mama, you’ll look like one. With that in mind, here are some suggestions for what to wear/bring:
• matching push-up bra and panty set
• garter belt and thigh-high’s (plain or fishnet)
• stiletto heels
• chemise, baby doll, corset
• a variety of lace, satin, chiffon, etc.
• cute or sexy boy shorts, panty, thong, or g-string
• an item from his closet (button-up shirt, tie, jersey)
• props – something related to his interests are best (i.e., clothing item with his favorite team logo, guitar, poker chips, video game controller, his favorite beer bottle, etc.)
• jewelry

~ Suggestions on How to Prep for the Session
• Moisturize yourself all over with lotion, even your hands and feet
• Shave or wax all areas you want to appear hairless
• Get a mani and pedi
• Book an appointment with a make-up artist the day of the shoot. You definitely want your make-up professionally done and if your lashes aren’t long and thick, have them apply false lashes as well. It looks killer in photos.
• Hair. Leaving your hair down and just giving it some body with curls and maybe some teasing would be enough
• Make sure the soles of your feet are clean before heading over for your shoot
• Wear loose clothing, such as a sundress, without bra or panties before your session since red lines can appear when your undergarments hug your body
• Do not get any funky tan lines a few weeks before the session as these are hard to touch up
• Stretch out a little bit before the session because it will be quite a work out holding some of the poses. I recommend doing child’s pose (in yoga) before and after the session.

HAIR & MAKE-UP
Unless you have booked a package with professional hair & make-up, please arrive at the studio with your hair & make-up done. It’s highly recommended that you get your make-up professionally done at a MAC make-up location and that you purchase their false lashes (they look awesome in photos!).

For hair, please don’t feel like you have to do anything extravagant; sometimes hair looks best when it’s just straightened or curled in hot rollers. A good way to get good volume in your hair is to arrive with your hair still in rollers.  If you want a fresh look, make sure to get a nice cut & color about a week before your photoshoot so you have time to settle into it. 

If you’d like help with your hair and/or make-up, Express MiE recommends the following fabulous good-looks gurus.  Tell them that you are doing an Express MiE photoshoot and they’ll give you a 10% discount!  These ladies can help you with a new hair style or make-up lesson in advance of the day of your session, or they can also go ahead and do it the day of if you’d prefer (set your appt in advance).  We promise you are in good hands here!
