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.
