How to Prepare for a Shoot or Interview
Calming the jitters & having a memorable experience.
Let’s face it, shoot days can be nerve-wracking. The anticipation leading up to that moment is REAL.
We are here to guide you through the experience and help transmute the anxiety into a memorable day that celebrates you and your business.
Here are some tips to get in the right body, mind and spirit space for your shoot or interview!
NOURISH YOURSELF — What can your being benefit from the most? What would fill your inner cup and allow you to bring forward your most radiant, lively expression? Maybe it’s in the meals you eat leading up to the shoot, maybe it’s in the music or podcasts you listen to? Maybe it’s a visit to your special person or some much-needed alone time in nature to connect to your still point within. Allow yourself to be nourished at the core… Coming to this centered place within allows us to remember our why. This brings us to our next point.
WRITE YOUR INTENTION — Well, if your upcoming shoot is a HAVEN creative space production, we will have definitely etched this part out prior, but we still recommend you take a sacred moment for yourself to write out the intention for this shoot. What would you like these images to evoke? To call in? Who are you hoping to reach by sharing your authentic essence with this shoot? We find that writing it out allows us to embody and bring it on set! There is nothing more convincing than a being who is clear on their why.
PAMPER YOURSELF — You deserve to look and feel your best. If you are going for a new hair cut or style, we suggest you go a little before the production to give it a minute to settle in. For wardrobe, if you are not working with one of our stellar stylists, we recommend bringing pieces that allow you to embody your pure essence, whether that means treating yourself to something new or perhaps bringing some pieces that hold a sentimental and encouraging place in your heart. Often we see our clients bringing along a family heirloom or a piece designed by a friend as having this love around can make you feel supported on your special day! Lastly and most importantly, be good to your being;provide your body with some self-care in the form of a nice bath, exfoliate and hydrate your skin, get a mani/ pedi too if that’s your jam! Do all the things that allow you to celebrate your beautiful vessel in the ways that feel right for you.
LAST TIP: Pack your bag the night before so you can rise and shine then make your way to the studio without rushing!
