HAIR AND MAKEUP TIPS FOR YOUR FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

Preparing for a family photo session involves more than just choosing the right outfits. Paying attention to hair and makeup can make a significant difference in how you look and feel in your portraits. In this blog post, we'll share essential hair and makeup tips to help you shine during your family photo session, with Nicole Reine Photography available to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

1. NATURAL AND TIMELESS LOOKS

Opt for natural and timeless hair and makeup looks that enhance your features without overpowering them. Soft, natural-looking makeup and hairstyles with loose waves or sleek updo's (especially in windy and unpredictable weather) can complement a variety of outfits and ensure your family's portraits stand the test of time.

2. COORDINATE WITH OUTFITS

Consider your outfit choices when selecting your hair and makeup styles. Coordinate the overall aesthetic to create a cohesive look for the entire family. Soft, neutral tones tend to work well with most outfits and can create a harmonious visual appeal.

3. ENHANCE YOUR FEATURES

Choose makeup that highlights your best features. Define your eyes with mascara and eyeliner, add a touch of blush for a healthy glow, and opt for a lip colour that complements your skin tone. Enhancing your natural features will ensure you look your best in front of the camera.

4. PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE

If you're unsure about hair and makeup techniques, consider enlisting the help of a professional. Nicole Reine Photography can guide you through the process and recommend trusted hair and makeup artists to suit your budget. They can provide expert advice tailored to your individual preferences and ensure that you and your family look and feel your absolute best.

5. PRACTICE AND TEST RUN

Before the session, practice your desired hairstyle and makeup look to ensure you're comfortable with the final result. Take test photos under similar lighting conditions to see how they translate on camera. This will help you make any necessary adjustments and build confidence in your chosen style.

6. REFRESHING TOUCH-UPS

Bring along a small touch-up kit on the day of the session to ensure you can refresh your hair and makeup if needed. Include essentials like blotting papers, powder, lipstick, and hairpins or elastics to address any unexpected touch-ups that may arise.

Investing time and attention into your hair and makeup for a family photo session can significantly enhance the overall outcome of your portraits. With the guidance and expertise of Nicole Reine Photography, you can feel confident in selecting the right looks for your family. Prepare to capture beautiful memories with stunning hair and makeup that reflects your unique style and personality.
