for preparing for your senior pictures&#8230;.gather up some cute clothes, do your hair and make-up and go.\u00a0 Here are some great tips for beyond the basics to help ensure that your photos are flawlessly you!<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0<strong> Really start being consistent with your skin care routine<\/strong>!\u00a0 Yes, I will edit your proofs and take care of any pesky surprise break-outs.\u00a0 That&#8217;s no problem at all!\u00a0 But to really have that beautiful natural glow, start taking good care of your skin now.\u00a0 Its easy to hop into bed without washing your face (I&#8217;m guilty of this, too), especially when its been a long day, but that simple step really does make a difference in your skin tone, texture and diminishing of breakouts.\u00a0 And be super careful about your sun exposure!\u00a0 As much as Photoshop can do, &#8220;fixing&#8221; sun burned and\/or peeling skin just does not end up looking natural.\u00a0 Use your sun screen!<\/p>\n<p><a

door and do it.\u00a0 When we step in front of the camera, suddenly smiling can seem like the strangest thing in the world, like we are just stretching our muscles across our face.\u00a0 Get in front of the mirror, smile, and &#8220;feel what looks good&#8221;.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll understand what I mean when you give it a try.\u00a0 Try different types of smiles,\u00a0 wide open laughing smile, little closed lips soft smiles, sideways flirty smirks, serious looks with no smile at all.\u00a0 Add in some eyes and eyebrows and suddenly you have a huge variety of facial expressions.\u00a0 Then try to remember what those muscle movements felt like.\u00a0 Of course, I will guide you in each situation and pose so you will have a some really fun photos that don&#8217;t all look the same!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photographybyjustine.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3281\"
