b-pic prepping?

Can you guys tell me exactly what you did to "prep" for the b-pics?  I have hair and makeup included so I don't need to do that.  I also know to shave everything, duh.  Do I need special lotion or anything?  I don't go tanning and I don't really want to go tanning--but I am wondering if the skin on my body will look "even" you know?  Should I get a spray tan?  Will they spray tan me butt naked? What are some really good props I should bring?  Is there anything you wish you had done or hadn't done?  Since I am spending a nice chunk of change on this, I really want it to be perfect...

    I would nix the tanning - I have had a few photographers tell me that the spray tan doesn't look good in pictures (i'm sure if it's a good product it can look fine?) i really didnt do much to prep (other than not eat for a week lol)... and buy a ton of new outfits for it. a tip of my own: buy some falsies :) my girls are average (C) to begin with but they just added a good umphf! the photographer i used has some helpful info in her blog if you want to check it out! http://audreysnowphotography.bigfolioblog.com/weblog/post/106954if i could do something different, i would probably not use stockings. the stupid lady at the store talked me into getting them, and unless they are good ones that dont have elastic, i wouldnt do them.... i also would have done a couple pics in a button down of my FI's or his tie. we ran out of time though! you can email me if you have any other questions! mashleigh1@gmail.com

    You can buy them at Victoria's Secret but they are expensive. I have several different sizes for when I did pageants and got them from Walmart- they were $12.00 for the pairs. I think VS are like $35 or so.

    The whole week before I used a scrubbing body wash with shea butter beads in it as well and shea butter body lotion (from Bath and Body Works, the True Blue stuff) so that I had nice and moisturized skin.I really didn't bring any jewelry and I wish I had.  Luckily Dionne had some!  Make sure you have some hot shoes too.

    I wish I had a bra that had held me in better while laying down. My pics where I'm on this fur rug or laying on the bed my bewbs point west and east rather than north. They were new bras that I bought because they were sexy and not something I'd wear everyday, so I didn't even think about it!
