A photoshoot is more than just standing in front of a camera—it’s about capturing your best self and turning special moments into timeless memories. Whether it’s a wedding, baby bump, or event session, proper preparation makes a big difference in the outcome. At Spartan Photography Kenya, we want you to feel confident and ready. Here’s a simple checklist to guide you:
✅ 1. Choose the Right Outfit
- Stick to solid colors or coordinated tones—avoid loud patterns or logos unless it’s intentional.
- Dress for the location and occasion (e.g., casual for a park shoot, formal for a wedding).
- Bring an extra outfit just in case.
- Comfort matters—wear what makes you feel good and move freely.
✅ 2. Groom & Get Ready
- Schedule haircuts, nail grooming, or facials a few days before (not the same day).
- Keep makeup natural and photo-friendly (unless we’re doing a glam shoot).
- Don’t forget small details like clean shoes or polished jewelry.
✅ 3. Rest & Hydrate
- Get a good night’s sleep before your shoot.
- Drink water throughout the day to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant.
✅ 4. Bring Personal Touches
- For baby bump or family shoots, feel free to bring props like ultrasound photos, baby shoes, or toys.
- For events or weddings, personal items like rings, heirlooms, or themed décor can add meaning to your photos.
✅ 5. Location Prep
- Know where your shoot will take place and arrive early.
- If it’s outdoors, consider the weather, and bring essentials like sunscreen or a change of shoes.
- Confirm any required permissions for shooting in certain locations (we can help with this!).
✅ 6. Communicate with Your Photographer
- Share your goals and expectations before the shoot.
- Send us sample photos or poses you love for inspiration.
- Let us know your best angles or insecurities so we can highlight your best features.
✅ 7. Relax and Have Fun
The best photos happen when you’re relaxed and being yourself. Trust the process, enjoy the moment, and let us guide you along the way.
