How to look your best
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS / PORTRAITS:
- Long sleeves and solid colors work better to keep the focus on you. Stripes are very bad!
- Bring Props and accessories that express your individuality
- Bring makeup, brush and hair products
- Iron outfits (wrinkles show)
- Get a good night's sleep
- Limit sun exposure for a few days
- Apply concealer and powder as needed (I will still retouch the winner photo)
COUPLES , SMALL GROUPS AND FAMILIES:
- Consider this color palette, and let me know which one appeals to your family the most prior to your session
- Basically choose simple garments within the same tonal ranges. This ensures that no single member of the family stands out because the
clothing is too light or bright as compared to the rest of the group. All members wearing black shirt and blue jeans or everyone wearing Khaki
pants and white shirts for example will express togetherness. Everyone "belongs" to the group.
BRIDAL PORTRAIT:
- Your bridal study can and should be a "dry run" for getting ready on the day of your wedding. Which means that you should bring all the
garments and undergarments you'll be wearing, get your hair styled, apply makeup, wear jewelry and bring flowers just as if it were your wedding
day. Expect to be pampered, a bridal study is both emotionally and physically draining for the bride. For that reason, I suggest that your
appointment be made during the time of the day that you are at your best and freshest. I have a selection of music to play during the bridal study
to "set the mood". However, I encourage you to bring your favorite to help you relax and get you into your regal mood.
