This will be my first shoot, what do you recommend for a nervous beginner? 

Feeling nervous is completely normal! Our best advice is to find a way to make yourself feel comfortable. You are welcome to bring a friend/hype person with you to the shoot or bring your favourite playlist and we can play some music. We also recommend planning ahead, make sure you organise hair/makeup with time to spare before the shoot and look up the meeting location prior so you know where you are going. There is nothing worse than feeling rushed before you even start!

I don’t know what to wear…. Where do I start?

Unsure what to wear? To make your images fierce & unforgettable, a personalised styling package is available as an add-on. A catalogue of the current styling options is available on request, or custom items can be organised if you have a particular look in mind. Our styling packages are inclusive, and we currently have items in stock from size 6 to size 18 and are looking to further grow our inventory. For custom styling pieces, please allow a minimum of 4 weeks’ notice to allow for us to source these items.

How long after the photoshoot will I get my images? 

Editing times can vary depending on many factors. However, we will strive to get images to you within 1-4 weeks from your shoot date, depending on the current workload. This timeframe may be extended during peak seasons, as we will not rush the editing of the images. We want to provide top-quality images that reflect the quality of work that Belle & Bear is proud of.  

Can you recommend a make-up artist or hair stylist for the shoot? 

Yes, a list of preferred hair & makeup artist recommendations is provided upon booking. We also have some of our favourite artists tagged on our Instagram page! 

What if I’m not a “stereotypical” model?

Perfect, let’s shoot! Belle & Bear Creative was launched as an inclusive brand, that embraces every perfect imperfection. It is our goal to give every woman an opportunity to feel truly beautiful in their own skin. This includes women of all ages, shapes and sizes, whether you were born as a woman, or if you identify as one. You all have an inner goddess, and we can’t wait to bring her out!
