Top 5 Reasons To Get Professional Hair & Makeup For Your Photoshoot
As a professional photographer, I can honestly say that professional hair & makeup makes a vast difference to your professional photos. Newborn and maternity photography is about capturing those precious moments, but we also want you to LOOK and FEEL your best! That’s why we’ve partnered with Faye Smith Agency to help our moms-to-be and new moms feel extra relaxed before their sessions.
#1 – TIME & ENERGY SAVER
If you’re a sleep deprived mom of a newborn, or a tired mom-to-be in your third trimester, time and energy is something you probably are lacking, and the last thing you need is to add more to your plate. Having a professional hair and makeup artist come to your home or outdoor shoot location to get you fully camera ready while you relax and recharge before your session is truly a life saver. The more at ease and comfortable you are the more natural your images will look.
#2 – HIGH QUALITY IMAGES
Hair and makeup artists are trained specifically to ensure you look your best in front of the camera. Newborn sessions can take up 2-4 hours in a room that is kept warm to help settle your baby. So even if you can do your own hair & makeup, it’s helpful to have high quality makeup and a professional application that is designed to last for the duration. Ultimately, the resulting images look more polished when hair and makeup is on point.
#3 – CONFIDENCE BOOSTER
Being pregnant or a new mom is such a special time and a huge event in your life, but with all that your body undergoes so many changes and adjustments and quite frankly, you may not feel as comfortable as you once were in your own skin. Having professional hair and makeup can give you that confidence boost so you can really shine. If you’re like me and not as well versed in doing your own hair and makeup, a professional can really help you achieve the look you are envisioning for your session. Sometimes all it takes is a little freshening up with hair and makeup to feel confident. When you feel great, you look great!
#4 – QUICKER TURNAROUND TIME
When skin and hair look flawless on camera, less time is required retouching blemishes, undereye circles and flyaway hairs in Photoshop. This means we can edit and turnaround your images on a quicker timeline! So you can enjoy your art sooner. Plus we want the images to capture and represent the REAL you! We believe hair and makeup artistry does a much better job of bringing out your natural beauty than Photoshop does.
#5 – YOU DESERVE TO PAMPER YOURSELF!
As women and moms, we often put ourselves at the bottom of our list and take care of ourselves last. But you DESERVE to pamper yourself! So while you’re at it and all dolled up, why not schedule a date night or treat yourself to a girl’s night out after your session. Just as you’re investing in professional photography, investing in professional hair and makeup is an investment in yourself.
