Spring is in the air

Spring is here and although most of us haven't seen that in the weather it really isn't going to be long before we are all outside working, shooting and taking advantage of the natural light and beautiful scenery that is available to us. I love location shoots but they do take a little more planning. Lets take a look at what we need to remember to always bring with us for location work..

I usually put together a different modeling bag for Spring and summer and in it make sure you always have these items in addition to what you normally bring in your bag.

A large T-Shirt to change under
Tennis shoes to hike to the location
Sunscreen to protect your skin
Bug spray to prevent you from bites and ticks
Water to keep yourself hydrated
Small First Aid kit (band-aides, antiseptic etc) More potential for cuts etc.
blotting towelettes to remove shine from your skin which in warmer weather can be an issue.
Hand Sanitizer just because it is good to have on hand.

In addition to getting your model bag ready you may want to take a closer look at your skin. Winter can be hard on your skin with the dry cold air, winds and heat in your house. It is a great time to get a professional deep cleaning facial to help remove all the dead skin and clean out any pores that maybe clogged. This also helps rejuvenate your skin in preparation for lighter makeup worn in the warmer weather. It is also a great time to exfoliate your body too to remove the dry skin that may be lingering from the winter months.

It is also a good time to make sure your body is in top shape to sport less clothing. So if you haven't already started take a hard look in the mirror and make sure you haven't put on weight or lost your enthusiasm for the gym.. It is the perfect time to re-ignite your program of healthy eating and working out so that when the beaches are open you are in perfect condition to rock whatever looks come your way..

Spring is here and so is all the things that come with it both personally and professionally.. Take a little time now and prepare and you will always be ready to show the world that..... Petite Girls Rock!
