What to wear?

• Solids are preferred to prints, plaids or stripes. In general, avoid t-shirts or sweatshirts with logos, images, or printed material unless you wanted your team or school logo to figure prominently in the pose. Team uniforms can make a nice portrait.
• Darker colors tend to slim. Large areas of very bright color can be distracting.
• For formal pictures, avoid sleeveless or short sleeve tops. These draw the attention away from the face.
• Very short skirts or shorts (shorter than mid thigh) can appear unflattering and be distracting.
• Reflections in glasses are often very difficult to control. Strong prescriptions cause distortion of the facial lines and many lenses tend to darken under the lights. The perfect solution is to bring an extra pair without the glass. Short of this, retouching may be required at an additional charge.
• Choose clothing that fits well whether sitting or standing. Bring clothing pre-pressed without fold marks or wrinkles. New clothing often has a stiff look or fold marks that can only be removed by pre-washing or dry cleaning.

What about my hair?

If you choose to have your hair cut in preparation for your session, we recommend that you do so at least one week, if not more, before your session. Now is not the time to experiment with a new style or color.

Tan lines and sunburns

These cannot be corrected. Make sure your clothing covers up any tan lines you have gotten during the summer.
