Saturday is my first "professional" photo shoot! And while I am super excited, I am also even more nervous lol. I bought some cake vodka to take a cpl shots of beforehand to loosen up a little....

Any suggestions for a tasty shot? I am not a big drinker at all... Would like topping the shot with a dab of whipped cream be good, or would it make me puke? lol

Any tips on easing nervousness?

    I used to work for a fashion photographer, so here's my 2 cents: Don't wear white. That is the worst color be photographed in. And no turtlenecks. No one looks good in a turtleneck, except for turtles.

    I wouldn't advise drinking. That will just make you think you're confident, but look sloppy - you know, like someone who's been drinking. Especially if you're not a drinker.

    Just tell the photographer that you're nervous and if it's a good photographer, they'll know how to put you at ease.

    I'm with the poster above. I wouldn't drink to ease nervousness... Just clear your head, and take a couple deep breaths. Also true (above) let the photographer know you're really nervous, and they should help you out.


    Yes. If you start taking shots; you may puke. Do you really want to try and look all buff and awesome - while you have a leftover vomit taste in your mouth? I say play it cool and help yourself relax by telling yourself you're going to be fine. If anything, you should be super stoked! :)
