  :: DETAILS FOR PLANNING YOUR SESSION ::
 
 

• Clothing Decisions:

Solid colors are extremely important. Solid Colors Draw the attention to the focal point of your portrait - your face, or faces - rather than distracting from the focal point with busy patterns, stripes, and bright colors. Color coordination lends harmony. While all clothing does not have to match, the colors should be harmonious, so that one person will not dominate the scene. Long sleeves are best for adults and older children. It is important to choose clothing that will complement the style of portrait you are planning.

• Make-up and Hair Styling:

For women, fondation is a must. It evens skin tones and softens minor imperfections. If you don't normally wear make-up, we ask that along with your foundation, you apply a bit of mascara and lip gloss. If you normally wear make-up, wear it the way you like it. We have found, especially in the case of children, not to schedule your session immediately following a haircut. A week later is generally best. Adults know when their hair looks good!

• Glasses:

We recommend you borrow a pair of frames from your eye-care professional. This will avoid removing eye glass glare from your portraits.

• Children:

Children are very precious and special. They require some preparation and planning when they are to be photographed.

It is always best when photographing children, to work around their time schedule. Mornings are usually best, or right after they are up from a nap and have been fed. It may be a good idea to bring snacks for your child, and their favorite toys.

If you are having more than one child photographed, make sure their outfits blend together.Consider laying out what they will be wearing on the bed the day before to make sure nothing stands out and everything blends. Remember, you want to see your children, not what they are wearing!

To get masterful portraits of your child, it takes a lot of work and collaboration between the photographer and the parents.We look forward to meeting you, and getting cherished photographs of your child that you will treasure forever.
