YOUR FLYING RESS PHOTOSHOOT – HOW TO PREPARE
Hello, lovely! 🌺
We’re so excited for your upcoming Flying Dress photoshoot! To help you feel fully ready and relaxed, we’ve put together this little guide with a few important tips. It’s all about making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful on the day. 💛
✨ Let’s start with your body:
This photoshoot can be a bit physically demanding – we’ll be moving around quite a bit (and throwing dresses in the air!). So please:
- Eat a proper breakfast before the shoot. You’ll need the energy!
- Stay hydrated! Bring at least one large bottle of water (1L or more). You’ll be glad you have it.
- Bring electrolytes if you have them – they can really help you feel refreshed during the session.
- Get a good night’s sleep the night before. It truly makes a difference!
💇♀️ Hair tips:
- If your hair is freshly washed, apply a bit of serum to the ends – this helps weigh it down so it doesn’t fly wildly around your face in the wind.
- If you’d like some extra volume, feel free to use dry shampoo or volumizing powder before you arrive.
💄 Makeup matters:
- Please wear a natural, fresh daytime makeup look – ideally with even skin tone for both photos and video.
- Set your makeup using setting powder or a spray so it lasts.
- If you plan to wear SPF, apply it at least one hour before the session to allow it to fully absorb. This helps avoid stains on the dress – some SPFs can leave marks that show up in photos and videos, especially on silky fabrics.
👙 What to wear (under the dress):
- No bra under the Flying Dress, please – the dress fits best without one.
- If you feel you need support, you can use bra tape or nipple covers.
- Please make sure to wear seamless underwear in a neutral color. If you’d like to wear shapewear, feel free — that’s totally fine for us. Just keep in mind that your legs will might be visible through the slit in the dress.
- You can also apply a little baby powder or translucent face powder to your body – this helps reduce sweating and keeps sweat marks from showing through on the dress (especially on our silky satin dresses!).
💍 Accessories:
If you’d like us to prepare any jewelry, headbands, or other matching accessories, now is the perfect time to let us know. We’ll do our best to match them beautifully to your chosen dress.
🎒 A few final things to pack:
- A towel or large pareo – we’ll be changing on the beach, and this will help you feel more comfortable.
- Loose clothing – wear something light and easy to change out of (a flowy dress is perfect).
- A bit of small cash – in case you’d like to take a few shots near a boat or interact with locals, it’s good to have a few small bills on hand.
💛 And most importantly…
Pack your best energy and good vibes!
Please don’t stress about posing – that’s our job! We’ll guide you every step of the way, explain the poses, practice with you, and make sure you feel confident and beautiful in every shot.
We can’t wait to meet you and create something magical together! ✨
Warm hugs and see you soon!
