Choose
your clothing wisely
Bring outfits that fit you well. Too snug or too loose will not hang
properly. View your outfits in a full length mirror both standing and
sitting.
Wear solid colors. Medium to dark tones or rich vibrant
hues. Black is always great for classic and contemporary looks. Avoid
white and pastels,
loud prints, bold stripes and logos or wording.
Long sleeves are the most flattering. Avoid sleeveless and short sleeve
tops as they tend to make your arms appear large
Vary your styles. Bring a variety of clothing changes for a casual,
traditional and formal look.
The Finishing Touch
Dress from head to toe. Some poses will be full length showing shoes
and manicured nails. Pressed clothing will make a difference.
Don't forget accessories. Jewelry, belts, hats, scarves and jackets
provide additional interest.
Wear your hair the way you like it best. Plan your haircut, color, or
perm at least one week before your session. Don't try a drastically new
hairstyle. Guys, shave just before coming, a five o'clock shadow will
show.
Wear your makeup as you normally do. If your eye make-up
is applied too heavily it will make your eyes appear small.
Bring out your personality!
Do you play sports? Bring your letter jacket, sporting equipment, medals
or trophies etc.
Do you play a musical instrument? Bring your guitar, violin, flute,
trumpet, drum sticks or sheet music. Use your imagination.
What is your ride? Bring your car, bike motorcycle, skateboard, etc.
Who's your best friend? Include a couple poses with
your best friend, sibling or even mom or dad.
Do you have a special pet? Pets are welcome, whether
it be a reptile or furry friend.
Other Important Details:
Be conscious about sunburns and tan lanes. They will be visible in your
photos.
Do you wear glasses? Glass glare elimination is possible when you remove
your lenses or borrow a pair of empty frames like your own from your
optometrist. Retouching glare is an additional charge.
Please leave your cell phone in our dressing room or your car. They
are not allowed during your session.
