Arrival:
Please arrive no more than 10-15 minutes before your photoshoot. We do have a meeting room that we will be waiting in, before your photoshoot and we will prep hair and makeup there and do last minute touches on your wardrobe. We will have snacks and water. Please bring any necessities you need for young kiddos.

Makeup:
Please come in your “normal” everyday makeup faces. Please do not do “event makeup”. We want to showcase your beautiful skin, eyes and hair, so the more natural the better, but, please feel free to do your makeup as you normally do.  For the kids, please leave them natural and we will add a touch of color, if we see necessary.

Nails: 
Please have your nails/kiddos nails either without polish OR if you want polish, please have it fresh with no chips, as we may do up-close photos of hands with props if needed. Neutral colors please.

What to expect Day of: 
We are so excited to be doing this photoshoot with you! The day of your photoshoot, once you arrive, you will be welcomed by a Giggle Magazine team member. We will show you to the meeting room. There, you will be greeted by another team member and we will get you all squared away with attire/makeup/hair. When it is your time for photo, we will show you to the photo shoot area. Each time slot is 15 minutes. Please know we will be moving quick, efficiently and trying to be as timely as possible, as we have many photos to take.

For families: We may or may not choose to take a photo of all of you together or individually. We will let you know that day of.

Babies: For babies, we will need a parent to help us in the room with the babies.

For Toddlers-Kiddos: During my 10 years of doing this, I have found that many times, kiddos get “shy” when their parents are watching them and many times parents direct them… totally normal. However, many times it is easier to take photos without parents in the room, if this is the case, we will let you know and have you walk them to the photoshoot room and stand right outside the door. If they begin to cry or get upset, you are more than welcome to come right back in… 🙂 If we can’t get their photo in the time allotted for them we will do our best to reschedule a time if possible, but we can’t promise.

Model Release: We will have model releases for you there.
