Session and Clothing Suggestions

A little planning is the key to getting great senior portraits.

 

Clothes:

 

Keep it simple.

 

Coordinate your outfit from head to toe.

 

Dark clothes minimize body size.

 

Don't mix lights and darks in the same outfit. Avoid stripes, large prints, and logos.

 

It is best to bring along several additional clothing choices and let the photographer help you choose.

 

Don't forget to bring your hats, belts, jewlery and especially your class ring.

 

 

 NOTE: Tan lines and sunburns cannot be fixed without expensive artwork.

 

 

 

 

Hair:

 

Wear your hair the way you like it best. Guys should NOT have a fresh haircut. If you need a trim, have it done a week before. Guys should also come in with a fresh shave.

 

 

 

  Pets:
 

Let us know in advance if you are bringing in your pet and please bring along a friend or parent to care for your pet. You will be very busy during the session. If possible, the pet should remain in a pet carrier when it's not in the shoot.

     
 

Make-up:

 

Wear your make-up no heavier than you would for an evening out. Even if you don't normally wear make-up, a light foundation and powder to tone down and reduce shine will even out your skin tone. Heavier make-up at the end of your session will produce dramatic black and white photos.

 

 

 

  Glasses:
 

The lenses often cause glare and distortion. Bring in an empty pair of frames in your style. You may borrow frames from your optometrist.

     
 

Your Input:

 

Look at your favorite CD covers and magazines for ideas and bring them in. We are open to any suggestions. Or better yet, come in for a free consultation. 714-282-0079
