Clothing Style & Accessories

• Keep clothing simple. Solids and simple patterns work best. Bold Stripes, plaids and prints can be distracting from your face.
  
• For a formal look, choose mid tones and deep tones.
  
• For a casual or romantic look, choose light colors.
  
• Wear long sleeves whenever possible. Bare arms and shoulders can draw attention away from your face.
  
• Scoop necklines and v-necks flatter fuller faces and shorter necks.
  
• Turtlenecks and higher necklines flatter slender faces and long necks.
  
• Keep jewelry small and simple.
  
• For groups, choose similar color, patterns and styles. This will create a greater sense of togetherness.
  

Hair & Makeup

• Try to keep your hair style simple and natural.
  
• It is not a good idea to cut or color your hair right before the portrait session.
  
• Keep makeup light, natural and fresh.
  
• Choose makeup that compliments your skin tone.

Children and Babies

• Children need to be fed and well rested.
  
• You are welcome to bring dry food.
  
• Be sure to bring their special things.
