What to Bring to Your Photoshoot: The Essential Checklist

1. Extra outfits and options

Even if you’ve chosen your main look, bring one or two additional outfits. This gives you variety in style and a backup in case something doesn’t feel right.

2. Comfortable shoes

If your session is outdoors, you may need to walk a bit to reach the perfect spot. Bring a pair of comfy shoes for walking, and switch to your styled shoes just for the photos.

3. Quick touch-up items

A hairbrush, basic makeup, lipstick, compact powder, or tissues. These little things help you stay polished throughout the session.

4. Accessories that reflect your personality

A hat, a special necklace, a scarf, a book, personal items add meaning and help tell your story.

5. Water and light snacks

It may sound simple, but staying hydrated and having a quick snack can make a big difference, especially in longer sessions.

6. Positive energy and openness

This is the most important item of all! A photoshoot is about celebrating yourself, your story, and your journey. Bring a relaxed mindset, a smile, and allow yourself to enjoy the experience.
