How to Plan for a Photoshoot: Your Moment to Shine!

Listen up – photoshoots are so much more than just standing in front of a camera and hoping for the best. They're about creating magic, boosting your confidence, and telling your unique story. Whether you're looking to add some killer shots to your portfolio, promote a clothing range, or just want to do something totally awesome for yourself, I've got you covered!

The Ultimate Flexibility: Outdoor or Studio?

Let's break this down – you've basically got two epic options, and both are amazing in their own way.

Outdoor Shoots: Nature's Perfect Studio

The North East is basically a photographer's playground. We're talking dramatic landscapes, stunning coastlines, urban backdrops – you name it! Outdoor shoots are perfect if you want something dynamic and totally natural. Imagine capturing those golden hour shots with the Yorkshire countryside as your backdrop. One minute you're looking fierce, the next you're laughing with the wind in your hair.

Pros of outdoor shoots:

- Natural lighting (hello, gorgeous!)

- Unlimited background options

- Completely unique shots

Studio Shoots: Controlled Perfection

Indoor studio shoots? They're the ultimate professional setup. Controlled lighting, zero weather worries, and a space where we can create absolutely anything you can imagine. Want to showcase a clothing range and keep it clean ? Studio's your best friend. Promoting a personal brand? We can create a look that's 100% you.

Pros of studio shoots:

- Consistent lighting

- Climate controlled

- Multiple outfit changes

- Professional backdrop options

Outfit Confidence is Key

Here's my biggest tip: wear something that makes you feel like an absolute superstar. This isn't about what I think looks good – it's about what makes YOU feel incredible. Whether that's a power suit that screams confidence or a flowing dress that makes you feel like you could conquer the world. I can always give advice if you feel you need some.

Pro Outfit Tips:

- Bring 2-3 outfit options

- Choose clothes that fit well and make you feel amazing

- Consider your purpose (portfolio? brand promotion? personal confidence shoot?)

- Solid colours often photograph beautifully

- Avoid tiny patterns that can create weird optical effects

Boost That Confidence: Hair and Makeup Add-On

Want to take things up a notch? Our hair and makeup add-on is basically like your personal confidence injection. Professional styling means you'll walk into the shoot feeling like an absolute queen (or king!). Our makeup artists don't do "Instagram makeup" – they do real, beautiful, enhance-your-natural-look makeup.

Why Do A Photoshoot?

Let me tell you the real reasons people book photoshoots:

- Portfolio building for models, actors, performers

- Promoting clothing or brand ranges

- Personal branding for entrepreneurs

- Boosting self-confidence

- Celebrating a personal milestone

- Just because you want to feel fabulous!

Who Are These Shoots For?

EVERYONE. Seriously. I mean it. Whether you're:

- A business professional needing headshots

- A model building your portfolio

- Someone wanting to celebrate their body

- A brand wanting to showcase clothing

- Just someone who wants to feel amazing

You. Are. Welcome.

My Philosophy

This isn't about taking perfect pictures. This is about capturing YOU. The real you. The confident you. The you that sometimes gets hidden behind daily stress and self-doubt.

A photoshoot is more than images. It's an experience. It's about walking away feeling like you can take on the world.
