It’s best if you schedule a haircut 1 – 2 weeks in advance of your portrait session, this will give it a little time to grow out. We suggest shaving the morning of your session (be careful not to nick your skin)! While the “five 0’clock shadow” may be the look these days be sure this is the look you want to be remembered by.

We suggest you wear your hair in the style you wear every day! This is how your family and friends see you every day. Quick changes to your hair style can be done during your session. Remember to bring hair spray, clips, curling iron etc. to the portrait session. We also suggest that you trim your hair a couple of weeks before your session so that your ends are fresh. Hair should be styled so your eyes are visible to the camera.

Make-up We suggest neutral color tones. Translucent powder reduces sheen, bring powder with you to your appointment for touch ups. Mascara and eyeliner will highlight, enhance and frame your eyes. Lip color brightens your entire face.

To achieve a diverse portfolio of images, try a variety of clothing styles; casual, dressy, trendy, sporty, etc. The selection of color will also play a large part in showing more variety in your images. Select colors that you like, as well as colors that look great on you! Stand in front of the mirror hold outfits of different colors in front of you, the colors that make your eyes, skin and smile stand out are perfect! If you feel good in your clothes, you will look amazing! Solid colors work great, especially for close-ups. The focus will be on you rather than your outfit. Long sleeves tend to look better than short sleeves or sleeveless. If you can see through your clothing be sure to bring the appropriate underclothing to wear beneath it. Clothing should be pressed and on hangers. The camera will see the wrinkles.
