My maternity shoot is in a few weeks on the beach at 7am. I have never paid for photos that I didn't have my makeup and hair done for. I kind of feel like if I am paying for pro pics, I might as well just suck it up and try to look as good as possible.

I have contacted a few MUAs my photographer recommended, and it's looking like it's going to be around $100 for airbrushed makeup/lashes, and a "down-do" for my hair to look all perfectly tousled.

Is this excessive for a maternity shoot? Did you have yours done? Would you?

Another thing is that it makes life SO EASY when someone else handles the "getting ready" part...Especially that early in the morning...She would just come to my house and I could sit there and be lazy. I am all about lazy lately!!!!
