Kinda new and BPic Question

virgil108 · April 2011

HI Ladies,

I was married last October and had posted here a few times leading up to the wedding. The recommendation of vendors from here was so helpful!

I am having B-Pics taken next month with Sarah Schulte and have a question. If you have had them taken did you tip hair and makeup or just consider that covered by the price of the package?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

I actually thought about this AFTER the fact, when it was too late anyway. In hindsight though, IMO it's not necessary considering how much you are spending for the whole session, and I am sure Sarah takes care of the MUA...

I vaguely remembering tipping her, but not much... like $5-10. I think. Maybe. haha

I was going to tip, but she was GONE by the time I wanted to.

Thanks ladies!!

Any other advice-how many outfits did you bring? How long did it take to get pictures back?

I took a whole bag full of outfits! At least 5 are in pics, and I had another 3-4 in my bag that I didn't put on.

I did mine last spring so I don't remember the timeline exactly. I think I had the teaser email (she'll send a few pics via email) within a week or two, then the gallery was up not long after that. After I picked the pictures, I think the album only took maybe 3 weeks to come.

Someone correct me if that timeline was waaaay off!

I brought a lot of outfits, half I didn't use. Bring a few options because you don't know what you'll want to wear until you are in it.

I wish I did more naked/ish shots... most everything I was in bra/underwear, and would have liked to have gotten a little more risque, but meh.. what can you do. So go all out! She does a great job.

I think it took a few weeks to get them back? I got them done so early, I told her not to worry about my little black book, so I got that back super late, but only because I didn't feel like picking pictures etc.

I didnt do it with Sarah.. but I did tip the woman that did my hair/makeup.. I believe I gave her $10-20.... Nothing major.

I had about 5 outfit changes.... three major ones and two one/two shot pics!

This...

I used 3 outfits plus naked-ness... I probably had 4 more I didn't touch

I brought 5 options and wore them all (some for longer than others). Mine were more on the naked-ish side (LOL BP) as I was topless in the majority of mine. My only recommendations for outfits is to make them personalized. I did Philles (bc DH is hardcore fan), cowgirl (bc we both love country), apron (because he is into the whole old-school housewife/baking thing)... I know lots of other girls do sports-related, music-related, whatever their SO is interested in. I also did a section with thigh highs, garter belt, platforms because it is kinda out of character for me and I think DH will really like those because they are more of a "fantasy" thing...

I don't know about timeline because mine were last week and I don't have anything back yet. I think she said teasers in a week or so and then the whole gallery shortly after...??
