Timeline

Schedule any appointments you'll need before the big day. Hair? Nails? If you want the ultimate luxury experience, now is the time to schedule professional day-of hair and makeup.
Browse for outfit ideas. See my What to Wear Guide or browse Pinterest for inspiration.

Kick your outfit planning into high gear. Shop online, shop local, browse your friend's (or your grandma's) closet, scour the thrift stores, or set off on a shopping road trip.
Schedule your Outfit and Location Consultation with me if you haven't already (if applicable).

Outfit and Location Consultation- Let's grab coffee!
If your hair needs a trim or a color touchup, 1-4 weeks before your shoot is the perfect time.

Be mindful of your sun exposure and skin health.
Avoid facials and sunburns. Keep your body and face (including lips) moisturized.
Lightly exfoliate skin for a dewey glow.
Brows - shape them up if that is part of your normal regimen. Do any waxing a few days before your shoot to avoid redness.
Make sure you have appropriate undergarments for each outfit. Avoid having any visible undergarment straps or wearing dark color or pattern undergarments that would show through your outfit.

If you don't have a mani/pedi scheduled, give your nails some love today. A neutral color (dark or light is fine) is a great choice.
Lay out your outfits, steam as necessary.
Hang each outfit and add a shopping bag with the coordinating accessories to each hanger.
Load up your car and get a full night's rest.

Don't forget to eat a light meal before your shoot - you will need the energy!
Do a last minute check of your wardrobe.
Relax!
