WHAT TO WEAR...
Choose a VARIETY of outfits. It's a good idea
to include both casual and more formal outfits in your senior portraits.
You choose a couple and let Mom choose one or two, that way everyone is happy.
Your face should be the focal point of your portraits. Long sleeve solids
or very subtle prints are usually the most flattering in portraits. Medium to dark clothes look the best on dark
backgrounds. Medium to light colors look the best on lighter
colored backgrounds. Earth tones are best for outdoor portraits.
Traditional styles will stand the test of time
and keep your portrait looking fresh for years to come. Some poses will show your shoes so don't forget
to bring shoes & socks for each outfit that you plan to wear. Busy patterns and loud colors can be very distracting
in your portraits. Avoid large & bold patterns that might tend to draw
attention away from your face
WHAT TO BRING...
Props can help to show your personality
and record the types of activities you are involved in. Be sure to bring
some of your own props to your portrait session. Here are some ideas: musical instrument, leather Jacket or Jean Jacket, hats, sports equipment, stuffed animals, sunglasses, or pets. If you are getting family
portraits, consider bringing your child's favorite toy to help keep their
attention.
FINAL TIPS...
Don't forget to bring your jewelry, especially
your class ring. You should wear your hair in your regular style. Guys should
NOT have a fresh haircut. If you need a trim, have it done about a week before.
Get a good night's rest, relax and be ready for a great portrait session.
If you are having family portraits make sure young children are rested up
and fed. Also consider bringing a snack for younger children.
