Let’s talk about something that doesn’t always come up when planning your event, but always shows up in your photos—your skin. I know, it’s easy to get caught up in the expenses, the colors, the table settings, the playlist (don’t get me started on playlists!). But your skin is literally the base layer of every single look. Men and Women. And those photos? They capture everything.
Whether you're the couple in love, the birthday girl or the guest of honor at your own shower—your skin plays a starring role. Think about it: you're investing in a photographer to make sure your event is remembered beautifully. And while they can do wonders with lighting and editing, nothing beats a natural glow that starts from within.
I always tell people—start early. Hydration, a solid skincare routine, and maybe a facial or two if it’s in your budget. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s confidence. When your skin feels good, you feel good. And that confidence is what translates in the lens. You’ll pose easier, smile bigger, and actually enjoy being photographed. You won't walk around your event saying, "I'm not feeling photogenic today".
I had an event recently where the client was front and center the entire time—so of course, they wanted to feel their best. Perfect timing too, because my dermatologist was running a skincare bootcamp special I could actually share (see the suggested services below). I love the derm, seriously—I talk about skin every chance I get so for my lifestyle events, of course it comes up because I get it. Just check out the video below where I got zapped for a clogged pore—it’s called a hyfrecator but I usually say "Can you zap this Puhleaseeee, it's stressing me?!"
So while you're checking off the big stuff, don’t forget to take care of the canvas—you. "Because when your skin feels good, you’re confident, carefree and actually enjoying the moment—mixing, mingling, and making memories without a single double take---see what I did there?
