Do Wear:
- Solid colors work best. If you have a patterned shirt, keep it
low-key as they tend to distract from your face.
- Jackets-jean jackets, khaki jackets, etc. photograph great
- Black & Dark Colors tend to be more slimming
- White is great for a high-key effect; but, it does tend to widen
- Dark t-shirts under dark shirts
|
Do Not Wear:
- Plunging Necklines - this tends to be a distraction in
portraits.
- Sleeveless Shirts - arms tend to look larger than they really
are.
- Bold Patterns or Stripes - tend to widen and be a distraction.
- Girls: Watch the length of your skirts. We can not pose you
sitting outside on the set if your skirt is too short
- Guys: We strongly recommend pants not shorts; they photograph better.
- If you want to wear shorts please avoid bagginess and frayed edges.
- Wrinkled clothing. Prepare your outfits the night before to allow
enough time to iron if needed.
- Avoid baggy clothes as they will make you look larger than than real life.
- white t-shirts under dark shirts - it will stand out.

Wear clothing you are
comfortable and feel great in!
For extended portrait sessions, choose casual outfits, sportswear,
letter jackets, or formal attire. Choose clothing that suits your
personal style.
Have fun!
Accessories: belts, ties, jackets, hats, necklaces, earring, sports
equipment, props, etc. If you have special jewelry that you want to show in the portaits, make sure you let the photographer know that they have special meaning.
GLASSES: if you
wear glasses, definetely wear them - this is you. If you can, take the lenses out. Lenses not only create glare,
but can distort the shape of your eyes and face.

eyeliner will make your eyes smaller and dark.
