Your wedding or beauty photoshoot is a chance to capture your essence—authentic, radiant, and relaxed. At Lotus Blooms Creative, we specialize in natural, light-soaked imagery with a fresh, beachy vibe that celebrates who you truly are. Here’s how to prepare so you feel and look your absolute best.
—
1. Hair That Moves With You
Soft, touchable hair works beautifully in beachy light. In the weeks leading up to your shoot:
Use a hydrating hair mask once a week.
Trim any split ends for that fresh, healthy look.
Avoid experimenting with new cuts or colors last-minute—stick to what makes you feel confident.
Consider soft waves or a loose updo if you’re going for a romantic, ocean-kissed feel.

2. Smile With Confidence
A natural smile lights up every frame. In the days leading up:
Brush and floss regularly.
Book a gentle clean at your dentist if time allows.
Avoid staining foods and drinks a few days before your shoot (think red wine and coffee).
A clean, happy smile always photographs beautifully.

3. Clothing That Speaks You
Choose outfits that reflect your story.
Go for well-fitted pieces that flatter your shape without restricting movement.
Soft, flowing fabrics look dreamy on the beach.
Neutrals, earthy tones, or pastels tend to photograph beautifully in natural light.
Avoid big logos or loud patterns—they can distract from your face and mood.
Think barefoot in linen, wind in your hair, and a dress that sways with your movement. Comfort equals confidence.

4. Relax, You’re Beautiful
If being in front of the camera feels awkward—you’re not alone. Here’s how to ease in:
Practice a few poses in the mirror to discover your angles.
Try simple breathwork before your session to calm nerves.
Think of the shoot as a conversation with the lens—playful, gentle, and real.
Trust your photographer—we’re here to guide and celebrate you, not judge.
A calm presence always shines through.

5. Makeup for Natural Radiance
For glowing portraits:
Aim for soft, buildable makeup that enhances rather than masks.
Dewy skin, softly defined eyes, and a tinted lip are timeless.
Matte products can settle in fine lines; cream-based products often work better in sunlight.
Avoid high-SPF foundations or anything with flashback.
Don’t be afraid to let freckles show, and go easy on contouring. Light, natural makeup harmonizes best with the beachy vibe.

At Lotus Blooms Creative, we believe your photos should feel like you—free, luminous, and full of soul. A little preparation goes a long way in helping you feel grounded and glowing in every frame.
