When you have officially explored your heart out and love what you’ve collected, you can consider this step complete. Or, if you really want to take it to the next level, you can curate your photoshoot design by organizing your Pinterest board into the following sections:

  • Your Favorite Themes

  • Outfits You Like

  • Hair & Makeup You Like

Don’t know how to organize your Pinterest board into sections? Check out this tutorial!

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please make sure your Pinterest Board is NOT set to “secret.”

Thanks, Gorgeous!

 STEP TWO

 STEP FOUR

Share Your Vision with Valerie!

You’ve collected inspiration for designing a photoshoot perfectly tailored to you - now it’s time to put it all together!

Please make sure your Photoshoot Design Questionnaire is filled out and sent in at least one week prior to your Design Meeting. In the questionnaire, you'll be asked to provide:

  • A link to the Pinterest board you created

  • Photos of outfits, sentimental items, and props you might want in your photoshoot

  • Photos of areas in your home you may be considering hanging wall art

  • Screenshots of your two favorite outfits from Rent the Runway (if you choose to take advantage of this for your photoshoot)

  • Photos you love of yourself (and even some you don’t)

See you at your Design Meeting!
