Creating Your Perfect Senior Portrait!
Clothing:
Keep things simple! Solid colors are best. Stay away from large and bold patterns, as they will draw attention away from the face. Make sure to have one all dark outfit (best for Black and White portraits), a dressy outfit (something classy that will stand the test of time), and a casual outfit (something fun you wear everyday). Be sure to coordinate your entire outfit, including shoes, as we might want to include them in a full-length shot. Long and three-quarter length sleeves are recommended since they draw more attention to the face rather than the arms.
Makeup:
As you will appear to be wearing slightly less make-up in the photograph than you actually are, please wear your usual make-up plus a slight extra touch of blush, very well blended. Extra mascara is also recommended. Bring all of your make-up with you for repairs as needed.
Facial Hair:
Make sure all unwanted brow and facial hair is removed before your session.
Nails:
Nails will be in the portrait, so have your nails done. French manicures work best and will stand the test of time.
Hair:
Avoid trying new hairstyles prior to your portraits.
Tanning:
Stay away from the rays before your session. Being overly tanned will add weight to the face and make your skin appear uneven and blotchy. It is also best to avoid tan lines and uneven spray and self-tanners.
Accent Items:
Accent items are great and will add a touch of your personality to your portraits. Please feel free to bring hats, scarves, and jewelry that we can add to your outfits. If you are involved in any activities that you would like to include in your portraits such as sports, please bring those as well.
