Every photo package includes a professional photographer consultation (with a $50 refundable deposit), photo editing, and digital proofing.

Thank you for considering to shoot with E.A.T media! Below I have detailed some tips to ensure you have the best possible image from your photoshoot. Feel free to apply as much or as little as you feel necessary. Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
There are five areas where a little advanced preparation can make a huge difference. Neglect them, and an otherwise perfect photo could end up with distracting elements that take the focus from where it should be. The five areas are Face, Hair, Hands, Skin, & Clothes.
The week before your shoot is a time for planning. Decide on outfits, choose which beautification steps you will take, and schedule the appointments. Remember, these tips are here to help you think of ideas for preparing for your shoot, but they are not required or even necessary for everybody. Just choose what fits, and go from there!
Whiten Teeth. Crest sells white strips that whiten in a week or less for a quick whiteness boost. Dentists can whiten teeth, too. Many even do it for free for new clients. You might consider going all out if you’re due for a cleaning.
Don’t Pick. A pimple is easy to cover with makeup, but scabs, wounds, and flaky patches are more tricky. As soon as possible, stop picking at your skin. If you’re like me and scratch and squeeze at every bump and flake on your face, it’s time to pull out the big guns. Do whatever it takes. Stop examining your face closer than 2 feet from a mirror. If you distractedly pick while doing something else, try wearing bandaids on your fingertips. Go for some with a sassy print, like Barbie or Dora the Explorer.
Exfoliate. An excellent, soothing session using a grainy scrub (or gently rubbing your skin with a washcloth) on your face and body is an indulgent way to spend an evening. Plan to exfoliate a couple of times before your appointment, but be sure to allow a few days between ‘treatments’ and a couple of days after the last one before your shoot.
Get a Facial. If you go out into pamper mode, do your facial at least a week before your shoot. Since facials tend to cause redness, a week usually allows enough time to heal.
For those on a budget, an at-home facial with a gooey, florescent masque is always a fun alternative to a night on the town. Throw in a delicious book and recharge your psyche. Repeat as necessary.
Wax Eyebrows. If you decide to have, your eyebrows waxed or threaded, be sure to schedule the appointment for at least a few days before your photoshoot. Otherwise, an eyebrow trim/touch-up at home could be done a day or two before the shoot.
- HAIR -
Touch Up Your Roots. Touching up your regrowth three days before your photoshoot is ideal if you dye your hair. Please take my advice: this is not the time for drastic changes. Trust me.
Get a Trim. Neat, healthy hair is youthful and vibrant. Even a subtle trim can make a difference if it’s been a while since your last haircut.
Deep Condition. Your salon can do a professional conditioning treatment, or you can use your favorite deep conditioner or protein pack at home. Toss it on with the gooey facial masque. Wrap your head turban-style. Wear harem pants and pretend you’re a genie while you’re marinating. Or read a book—your call.
- HANDS -
Get a Manicure. While you’re at it, toss in the pedicure. If you’re hard on your manicures, book the mani/Pedi for the day before your shoot.
Minimalists can stick with neatly shaped, clear nails. Soft, neutral colors work well for fingertips. Toes can get away with any color. (Think about the outfits you’re bringing, and be sure to choose a color that will compliment your choices.)
Clean Your Bling Using a toothbrush and toothpaste is a great day-to-day way to clean your bling, but most professional jewelers have sonic cleaners that make it sparkle like the day it was born. Many will even clean your ring for free. Especially if you return it to the jeweler you bought it from.
Take the ring in immediately if it’s long since your last pro cleaning. If there are any loose stones in your setting, they may get shaken loose, so it’s a good idea to allow a few days in case the goldsmith needs to reset anything.
Has it cleaned the day again before your shoot, if it’s convenient? Or you could go with the old toothbrush method the night before. Or even stop wearing it between the cleaning and the shoot. Just don’t leave it at home!
- SKIN -
Nair/Wax or Shave. If you go the waxing route, give yourself a few days to heal before your shoot. Nair/Shaving the night before should be fine. Be sure to get your legs and underarms, and if wearing a swimsuit or lingerie, consider the bikini area.
Remember that, while Photoshop can hide sins, you’ll love knowing that your pictures have captured your most perfect self. But, there are some things no amount of preparation can change (and maybe you wouldn’t want to). A couple of examples are birthmarks or scars. Some people feel that these markings are part of who we are, while others would rather have them “photoshopped” away. Which is right? Whatever you want. It is your face, your body, and your photos.
- CLOTHES -
Bring 5-6 outfits. Your portraits should be a reflection of you, just more polished. Choose clothes you love. Think of those unique pieces you might not often wear because they aren’t practical for day-to-day use, or the go-to blouse you always wear when you’re going somewhere nice.
Something Dark. Bring at least one dark outfit or top. Black, Navy, or Charcoal work best here.
Something Light. For your light outfit, think angelic. Soft, translucent, maybe even layered and sheer. It doesn’t have to be white. You could go with cream, nude, light pink – whatever.
Something Fun/Funky/Whimsical. This outfit is your chance to emphasize your style. If you tend toward more conservative tastes, choose a different adjective. For example, try Structured, Soft, Elegant, or Formal instead of Funky.
Something Sexy. This one is entirely your call. You could skip sexy, and that’s up to you. But if you’d like to, you can be an understated sexy in a backless formal dress or a more overt sexy in a cute pinup-style swimsuit. Beautiful lingerie is lovely and empowering.
Consider Necklines. Exposing your collarbone or wearing unconventional collars such as boat neck or off-the-shoulder, for example. Try to make whatever you choose more interesting than the basic T-Shirt neckline. Feel free to bring whatever calls to you. Mixing up the necklines will add variety to your shots, so try not to bring all of one style.
Consider your Textures. Sumptuous textures lend a rich, tactile element to your photos.
Avoid Prints. Patterns and prints are distracting. We want people to look at you when they see your portrait; even the most beautiful print could steal that attention.
