OTHER INFO:

• Every year this photoshoot SELLS OUT fast!

• Photoshoot will be held at the Alta Peruvian Lodge 10000 Little Cottonwood Canyon Rd, Alta, UT 84092. Please note* there is an “Alta Lodge” and there is an “Alta Peruvian Lodge.” The event is held at the Alta Peruvian Lodge.

• Photoshoot area will be set up on the back lawn behind the Lodge.

• We will be using a truss structure that stands at 19’ tall. Please plan your moves/apparatuses accordingly.

• Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to park, warm-up, change/finish make-up etc. Your time will not be extended if you arrive late. Give yourself EXTRA time when mapping out the address so that you ensure that you are not late.

• For the greatest chance of success: PLAN FOR WIND & IMPERFECT CONDITIONS. When you photoshoot outside, anything can happen! Be prepared for windy, hot, sunny and/or cloudy conditions. We cannot control the weather so make a plan of poses you can do in any of those conditions! This shoot is non-refundable, even in the event of cancellation due to weather. If the event is cancelled due to weather, we will reschedule for a later date.

• Due to safety reasons, we will not continue the photoshoot if weather conditions result in lightning. The photoshoot will be paused/canceled/postponed.

• Crash pads will be used and are not optional (you won’t see them in the photos), unless you wish to stand on the ground for some photos—then they will be removed.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS

Altitude sickness can occur within hours of arriving in an area with high altitude. It occurs due to lower oxygen levels at higher elevation. Some symptoms include: headache, nausea, trouble sleeping, fatigue, shortness of breath, trouble urinating, loss of appetite, confusion, overall not feeling well.

The Alta Peruvian Lodge is located at 8,600 feet above sea level. I wanted to share this information so that you can be informed of AS and be prepared in case you are coming from an area that is at or below sea level and not conditioned to this type of climate.

AS PREVENTION

• Avoid Alcohol

• Drink A LOT of water

• Eat foods high in potassium and carbohydrates

• Avoid sleeping pills within the days of the shoot because they can make AS symptoms worse

• Essential Oils that can help treat mild AS symptoms: Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lavender

what to bring with you:

• Yoga mat for warm-up

• Towel in case you get sweaty

• Easy slip on shoes for getting on/off the apparatus & to keep your feet clean!

• Baby wipes (to clean those dirty toes!)

• Sunscreen

• Your preferred grip aid product (no grip aid will be provided)

• Ideas/reference photos for poses you might want to try! Have a good mix of upside down and right side up poses!

• If you plan to wear your hair down (for those with long hair), make a contingency plan for how to create a quick “up-do” if the weather becomes too windy. When the wind is whipping around your hair TOO much, it doesn’t make for great photos.

• Water/snacks if you need something specific (some light refreshments will be provided)

• No more than 2 costume changes. Brighter colors tend to look best in photos. Neutrals like black and white can sometimes look washed out.

• Your apparatus

• Props! In the past we had a few artists get creative and use some fun and easy props during their shoot!

• A friend/helper if you think you might need one. Holly will be assisting throughout the shoot, but sometimes an extra hand is always helpful if you have big dreams!

SEE YOU IN ALTA!
