Finally!

Posted on June 17, 2010

I have gotten a lot of questions about the best way to handle tan lines or pale pasty skin in preparing for a shoot! I am happy to say that I have FINALLY found the BEST spray tan ever! Ever since I learned about how horrible tanning beds are for your skin, I have been experimenting with self tanners trying to find something that would make my pale skin a fabulous shade of bronze. Most of the time I have been spray tanned or applied tanner myself, I ended up a smelly, streaky, orange mess. Who wants to deal with that before a photo shoot?!

Soooo… after a rave review from a friend of mine, I knew I had to give it a shot. I made an appointment with Kathy at Forever Bronze in Cherry Hill. I had a wonderful experience without streaks or that icky smell, and got a tan that lasted 7 days. I have been seeing her once a week, now that it’s warm, to keep up my color. (She has a great deal- purchase 4 tans, the 5th is free.) So if you are feeling a little on the pale side and want some color for your shoot, I would definitely think about making an appointment. 24-48 hours before your photo shoot is the perfect time to go. You don’t need to be super dark, but a nice glow is always great.

If you are still a little freaked out by the idea of being sprayed or standing almost naked in front of a stranger, then Jergens Natrual Glow moisturizer is a great alternative. You can’t screw it up and it’s inexpensive, just make sure you start applying color 3 days or so before your shoot date. This stuff needs to build up to give you a nice color, so definitely give it a few days. Just please, please, please stay out of tanning beds! If the idea of me yelling at you isn’t scary enough, please read this article.

PS… I have also heard great things about Healthy Tans in Deptford, too!

Fingers and Toes

Posted on March 8, 2010

A good manicure and pedicure is a must for your photo shoot. Not only will it look great in the photos, it gives you a head start in the pampering prior to your shoot. I usually suggest either light pinks, reds, or if you are feeling a little bold, dark purple is one of my favorites. Below are a few of my picks from OPI for perfect polish choices for your shoot- Argenteeny Pinkini, I’m Not Really a Waitress, and Lincoln Park After Dark.
