  • Be well rested, and drink plenty of water in the day leading up to the session.
  • Avoid haircuts or hairstyle changes within one or two weeks of your photo session. 
  • Excessive sun or tanning salon visits prior to your session should be avoided; a dark suntan may make your face look oily.

What to wear:

  • Choose collars and necklines that frame your face.
  • Garments that are medium to dark in tone and are solid color work best. Textures can work well but not patterns.
  • Men should bring a few dress shirts (blues work best but you might bring an off-white or white) and at least two ties to choose from.      
  • Women should bring solid color middle tone or dark suit/pantsuit and a few light color shells or shirts that work under the jacket. 
  •  Wear your usual hairstyle. Don't try anything new. Make sure your hair is styled the way you want prior to arriving for your session.
  • Avoid sleeveless clothing and high-neck clothing that will obscure your neck.
  • If you wear glasses, ask your optometrist if you can borrow a pair without lenses. That way there won’t be any glare.
  • Please avoid clothes that wrinkle easily or don't fit well.

Make-up

    • Ladies, don't go overboard on makeup. Simple, clean, and fresh is best—emphasize eyes, lips, face shape. When applying make-up, pay special attention to your eyes. That's what people see first. Eye shadow adds depth. Stick to neutral shades and avoid iridescent colors.
    • Bring your make-up kit with you so you can touchup as necessary.
    • Gentlemen—a light powder foundation can reduce imperfections and an oily appearance.
