  2. Hair and makeup: If you’re planning to have your hair and makeup done, make sure to book a professional and schedule a trial run before the photoshoot.
  3. Accessories: Consider adding a few accessories to your photoshoot, such as a necklace or earrings, to add some extra sparkle to your photos.
