Clothing Guidelines for Portraits Clothes and Colors Keep your look simple. We want to focus on your beauty, not your clothes. Wear clothing that reflects you and make sure it's clothing that you like to wear. Pants, slacks, or skirts should be darker than your top. Clothing should match the season. BOLD, solid colors are preferred. Stay away from stripes, plaids, checks, as those draw attention away from your face. Stay away from pale or pastels unless they highlight your skin tone. Fair haired, light skinned people will look washed out with light colors. Bring a couple of shirts or blouses, sweaters, or jackets. Bring accessories such as hats, jewelry, scarfs etc. Pick out colors that complement your skin tone. If you aren't sure, ask your mom. If your portrait is to be taken with another person, coordinate your colors. Colors should complement each other. Above all, think BOLD colors.
For the Ladies Touch up your fingernails. Go easy on the makeup, especially dark eye liner. Stay away from dark lipstick. Don't change your hairstyle for the photo. Keep it like you are. Earings, necklaces, and bracelets add a nice touch. Keep them dainty. Bring extras. Bring a comb, brush, and mirror for last minute touchups.
For the Guys Get a fresh shave. Keep jewelry to a minimum. If your photo is being taken with a female, let her pick your clothes and colors.
General Info No chewing gum. No pony tail holders on wrists. Check to see that your undergarments, straps, t-shirts, etc., don't show. Check your teeth for pieces of spinach. If you wear glasses, clean them. During photo processing I will remove facial blemishes. If you want specific moles removed, let me know.
