Questions - Styling: Hair, Makeup & Wardrobe

Having your hair and makeup done professionally is the most essential contribution to your shoot that you can make. You would never, ever see a model or actress enter a photo shoot without being made up by a makeup artist and hair stylist. To your benefit Stacie lives in the entertainment capital of the world and she has the best hair and makeup artists available to us at rates reasonable for every woman. Not only does the makeup artist & hair stylist make you look gorgeous, it is the process of being beautified, being catered to and pampered that gets your mind and body ready for your special shoot. The decision to have a makeup artist &/or hair stylist present is ultimately yours but remember this is YOUR time to look and feel like a star. Saving a few dollars here is denying yourself part of this amazing experience.

• Are hair and makeup included with the photo session?
  Some collections offer hair and makeup as a part of the session. Please double-check the session that interests you to see if this is included or if it will need to be added on. Let Stacie know if you need it and she will arrange it for you.
• Who do you use for hair and makeup?
  Haute Shots Beauty and Boudoir Photography is proud to offer Hera Beauty services for your photo shoot. Let Hera Beauty primp and pamper you before your photography session. They will help make you look like the star you are!
• Can I offer suggestions to the hair and makeup team?
  Sure! There are some style techniques we employ on everyone, such as false eyelashes that we do for all sessions, but we are always open to your ideas. We want you to look and feel absolutely gorgeous, whether you specify the look you are going for or you leave it up to our vision for you.

• Can I do my own makeup?
  This is generally not a good idea. Hera Beauty is trained specifically in applying makeup and doing hair for photography. This is an absolute art. Plus they help ease you into your photoshoot by pampering you beforehand. You wouldn’t want to miss out on that, now would you?
• Should I get a spray tan before my session?
  Please do not feel the need to do this. Spray tans do not read well on camera at all, and will cause your skin to look really orange and patchy.
• What should I do before my session?
  Please tend to your nails with a mani-pedi. You want to look your absolute best from head to toe. Also, be sure to touch up any hair root growth, as your roots will be visible in some images. Waxing a few days prior is also nice. Kat of Hera Beauty offers these services. Quite a few of our clients take advantage of this.
• Do you provide outfits for my photo session?
  We do not provide wardrobe due to the intimate and sanitary nature of lingerie but we will be happy to help you select outfits that will work well with the set background. If you're having trouble finding the right outfits for your shoot and are in need of something new but don't know where to shop, email me and I will send you a list of a few of my favorite lingerie stores.

• Do I need to show nudity in my photos?
  Boudoir and Beauty sessions can be fully clothed, partially clothed, implied nude or fully nude. For the more demure, a Beauty session would be recommended.
• In your packages you use the term "Looks". What do you mean by "Looks"?
  Looks can be defined as outfit changes. The amount of outfit changes will be determined based on which package you choose and the length of time we have devoted to your session. We will then allocate a certain amount of time towards each outfit you are to be photographed in. It’s always a good idea to bring more outfits than needed so we can pick the best looks for the setting.
