Photo Session Prep Guide | Las Vegas Engagement Session

Are you planning a Las Vegas photo session soon but don’t know the best ways to prepare for it? Well, today is your lucky day because Amber is here to help! That’s right: it’s-a me, Amber-o!

Okay, enough corny jokes (you know you love it, eh?) and let’s get down to business! What are the best ways to prepare for a Las Vegas photo session? Whether you’re gearing up for an anniversary session, couple’s portraits, or an engagement session like Caitlin and Josh here, I know a few sure-fire ways to set yourself up for success:

• Number one is obvious but so easy to overlook: Hydrate, rest, and eat healthy! Water helps your skin glow, rest elevates your mood, and a solid meal fills you with energy before we romp around Vegas (and trust me, we will ROMP!)

• Choose your outfit wisely. Consider the weather and terrain—stilettos and long sleeves in the desert? Bad idea, friends! Once you’ve narrowed down some choices, try on your outfit WITH your partner’s outfit. Sometimes things clash in ways you don’t expect, so be prepared to make adjustments!

• Take a few test pictures on your phone to check the outfits and see what angles you like. This is a great way to triple-check your choices and decide final details like hairstyle and makeup.

• If you want to, you can research poses and/or locations you want on your “must-do” list. If you don’t have any ideas, I’ve got you!

• Consider a massage or facial or some type of pampering a few days before, if possible. There’s nothing better than feeling totally relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. A word of advice, though: don’t try anything radical like a chemical scrub that could cause major irritation!

After that major info dump, I hope you feel more prepared for your own Las Vegas photo session. I can’t wait to start planning with you, so send me a message to get started ASAP!
