* Simplicity is the key when it comes to planning
a portrait. Solid colors are best.
Avoid large or bold patterns and bright colors. They draw attention away
from the face.
* Long sleeve dresses and shirts are recommended. They
draw attention away from the arms and focus on the face.
* Coordinate
your outfit from head to toe, carefully selecting shoes and jewelry,
as our photographer may suggest a full length pose.
* Darker clothing
tends to minimize body size, and light tones tend to emphasize body size.
*
Necklines are important. A scoop or v-neck is best if your neck is short
and your face is full. A turtleneck or high-necked garment is more flattering
if your neck is longer and your face is slender.
* Do not mix light and
dark colors. Save stronger colors and patterns for accent items like
scarves and neckties.
* White or light pastel clothing looks best in portraits
taken against a white or light colored background. Dark clothing looks
best photographed against darker backgrounds and creates a more formal
mood.
* Our photographers will help you to select the backgrounds
most suitable to your needs. To personalize your portraits, we encourage
you to bring your own props to the session as well.
