1. Plan Your Outfits Ahead of Time
Choose colors and styles that reflect the season. Keep outfits simple, comfortable, and well fitted rather than overly complicated. You can also add textures or accessories that show off your personality. Bring a mix of options such as favorite sets, leotards, jeans, or flowy skirts and dresses so you have choices that work with different backdrops.

2. Consider Hair and Makeup
Go with a look that enhances your features, natural is always better. Soft waves with your hair down capture movement beautifully. Light daytime makeup tends to photograph best, especially dewy foundation with a touch of blush, mascara, lip gloss, and a little highlight.

3. Warm Up Beforehand
Photoshoots are just like dance class. Warming up is the first step to reaching your full potential. Full body stretching and core activation will prepare you for movement and bring out your best lines and energy in each shot.

4. Practice Your Poses
Spend time practicing your favorite poses and movements before the shoot. Focus on the lines and shapes that highlight your strengths. Preparing a few ideas ahead of time helps keep the flow going and allows you to get the most out of your shoot.

5. Add Some Movement
Add flowing movements or moments of improvisation to your photoshoot. Movement brings life to still images and captures the true beauty and emotion of dance.
