Read on to learn more about how Luminous Smiles can perfect your smile in time for your photo shoot.
Schedule a teeth cleaning at Luminous Smiles.
Knowing your teeth are healthy and bright will give you extra confidence as you head into your first professional photo shoot. To make sure your teeth are looking their best, schedule a professional teeth cleaning with Luminous Smiles. A professional dental cleaning will brighten your smile and remove any minor surface stains that may have appeared on your teeth.
If your schedule is always packed, Dr. Desai offers concierge dentistry for her patients, ensuring you can receive a five-star, luxury dental experience on your own time. Our team will make sure we are ready for you when you arrive so you can get right back to your day after we help make your smile dazzling.
And if you feel your teeth aren’t as white as you had hoped after your professional dental cleaning, Luminous Smiles offers both at-home and in-office whitening treatments. These professional whitening treatments can provide stellar results almost immediately, offering a smile that is five to ten shades whiter after just one treatment.
Hydrate and avoid staining foods.
To help keep your smile fresh for your photo shoot, remember to hydrate. Drinking plenty of water is something you should do every day, but making sure you are properly hydrated before and during your photo shoot is also important. Ensuring you’re properly hydrated will allow you to stay focused and alert, and it will also ensure you avoid dry mouth, which can be uncomfortable and can lead to bad breath—the last thing you want on set of a photo shoot.
Before your photo shoot, you should also avoid foods and drinks that might stain your teeth, like coffee, red wine, tomato sauce, and curries. Anything with dark pigments should be avoided a few days before your photo shoot so your smile can stay as white as possible.
Remember to moisturize.
When it comes to preparing for your first professional photo shoot, don’t forget about your lips! Keeping your lips moisturized can help make sure your smile pops on camera. No one wants to see dry, cracked lips in your professional photos! To make sure your lips stay hydrated, remember to use a lip balm or moisturizing lip treatment on the day of your photo shoot, and for best results, you can incorporate this into your daily routine during the week leading up to the photo shoot.
Practice your smile.
The best way to get ready for a professional photo shoot is by getting in front of the mirror and practicing your smile. Here, you can also find your best angles and figure out which facial expressions work for you and your features. Your photographer will be able to assist with lighting, but a good model will already have an idea of which angles capture their natural essence.
When practicing your smile, remember to relax your face and jaw muscles. Tensing your muscles can give off a mean mug, whereas a relaxed face leads to a smile that is happy and natural. If you need some inspiration, think about things that make you happy, like a puppy, a child’s laugh, or your favorite loved one. If you are feeling happy, it will show naturally in your smile—no one wants a fake, forced smile in their photos!
On the day of your photo shoot, don’t be afraid to work with the photographer. They may have some tips and tricks up their sleeve to help bring out your natural smile.
