your complete guide to looking and feeling your best - with a little help from our trusted beauty partners

At Novoamare, we believe a professional photo shoot is more than just capturing your image—it's about capturing you at your very best. Whether you're stepping in for new corporate headshots, personal branding photos, or a creative portrait session, preparation is key to creating photos that radiate confidence, authenticity, and style.

That’s why we offer more than just exceptional photography—we’ve partnered with trusted makeup and hairstyling professionals to help you feel relaxed, polished, and photo-ready from the moment you walk in.

Here's how to prepare for a seamless, full-package Novoamare session:

1. BOOK THE FULL EXPERIENCE

When you schedule your session, opt for our complete package. Our beauty partners — including makeup artist Veronica Riera (veronicariera.com) and hairstylist Gabriela Puche (@miralahear) — are hand-picked professionals who know exactly how to enhance your natural features for the camera, without overdoing it. They’ll work closely with you to match your personal style and goals for the shoot.

Pro Tip: Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and dry, product-free hair. Our beauty team will take it from there!

2. choose your outfit(s) with intention

Your outfit should reflect your personality while remaining timeless and professional.

go for solids – Soft neutrals or jewel tones work best.
avoid distractions – Skip bold prints, logos, or anything too trendy.
fit matters – Choose clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.

If you're not sure what to bring, bring a few options—we’ll help you decide what works best with our lighting and background setups.

3. stay rested and hydrated

A good night’s sleep and plenty of water in the days leading up to your session make a visible difference in your skin, energy, and mood. Trust us—your glow shows up on camera.

4. relax-we've got you

Not everyone feels natural in front of a camera. That’s why our sessions are tailored to make you feel comfortable and guided every step of the way. We’ll help direct your poses, adjust lighting to flatter your features, and keep the vibe fun and relaxed.

5. leave with more than just photos

The Novoamare experience is designed to leave you feeling empowered. With high-quality headshots or portraits, plus a memorable, confidence-boosting experience, you’ll walk away with more than just images—you’ll walk away with impact.
