Another thing that I do to prepare for a shoot is to get myself into the proper mindset. I always make sure that I have a great of confidence in me before I go into a shoot, it actually shakes off any nervousness I have. Along with making sure that I have a high level of confidence when I go into a shoot I go mentally go through poses in my head. This helps me get into a rhythm for the shoot. The night prior to the shoot I would pack all of the items that were requested or that I would need for the shoot. The day of the shoot I would do my hair and makeup myself unless the photographer would request a specific styling of makeup or my hair. In these cases I would go to my makeup artist or hair stylist. Before I leave to the shoot I go through a mental checklist to ensure that I have everything that I need. Bikini photo shoots are roughly the same process as a regular photo shoot. The only key difference with bikini shoots and lingerie shoots compared to others is trying to be relaxed and comfortable. In these shoots your body is a little more exposed that you normally are. So trying to remain comfortable and relaxed around your photographer will make the shoot a lot more fun.
