CLOTHES

1. Remove price tags and labels from clothing, especially from lingerie and panties.

2. Think about the lingerie, clothing and accessories that you are looking to wear. Look through Pinterest to get some inspiration.

3. Keep your lingerie wrinkle-free by bringing every outfit on its own hanger.

4. Try on your outfits before the photoshoot. Make sure everything fits properly, it is a must that you feel comfortable in what you bring.

5. Clothes and shoes: bras and matching panties, bodysuits, garder belts, corsets, bustiers, baby dolls, open & closed toe heels (nude, black, gold, silver, neutral colors).

6. Heels: bring more than one pair; be sure the shoes you bring match with your outfits; the soles of your shoes needs to be clean (no tags, stickers, labels or dirt).

7. Accessories: necklaces (pearls, diamonds, dress it up), bracelets, earrings, rings, tiaras/crowns, gloves, flowers, high heels, boots, knee high socks, fish net stockings.

8. Special outfits or props: feel free to bring things that are special to you! A special locket from your partner? His favorite jersey or white button up shirt on you? You can bring your favorite blazer or jacket, a cocktail dress with an interesting neckline, or just a bodysuit and jeans.

9. Avoid busy patterns as well as neon colors.

10. Pack your outfits the night before.

BODY

1. Get your manicure and pedicure done (neutral/nude color nail polish, French manicure);

2. Get your hair touched up.

3. Also get your brows done and anywhere else that needs to be waxed.

4. Get enough sleep.
