What to Wear?
Choose at least three outfits. You might want to have some dressy, some casual, and some that reflect how you spend your free time. Get carried away!
Solid colors and pieces with lots of contrast are a good bet. Avoid multiple patterns. Consider bringing a light, flowing dress that can catch the breeze and add movement to the photos.
In general, choose form fitting clothing that is not so snug that it will ride up or bunch. Try things on beforehand with the bra you plan to wear to be sure straps aren't showing and the girls look their best.
Iron what needs it and hang things for the drive to avoid wrinkles and creases.
Add accessories!
Sunglasses, earrings, scarves, jackets, necklaces, belts, sunglasses and hats are all great ways to convey your personality.
Fun shoes are a must, but consider location and weather.
Make-up
Go for a natural look with a little extra mascara to boost your eyes.
Use matte foundation and concealer, choose translucent powder and skip sunscreen for the day. All of these can make skin look oily or create flashback.
Hair
Be sure to bring any hair products you'll need to put things back in order after wardrobe changes.
A touch of hairspray along your part prevents flyaways and gives a polished look.
Glasses
If you wear glasses, clean the lenses thoroughly and bring a lens cloth with you to remove any stray fingerprints at the last minute.
Nails
Go for a manicure and bring polish to touch up any chips. Choose a neutral polish which will go with all your outfits. If your toes will show, dress them up as well!
