Booking a professional photoshoot is exciting, but knowing what to do before you arrive can make a big difference to your experience and final photos.

From preparing your skin and hair to choosing the right undergarments, a little preparation can help your makeup apply more smoothly, your hairstyle hold better and your outfits look their best on camera.

At iWan Studio, our professional makeup artists and stylists take care of much of the preparation for you. Still, there are a few things we recommend doing before your photoshoot to give yourself the best possible starting point.

Here is our photoshoot preparation checklist, based on recommendations from our makeup and styling team.
