| TIPS FOR GREAT PORTRAITS |
FOR GIRLS:
For Boys:
For Young Children and Babies:
- Avoid: tank tops, spaghetti strap, or
sleeveless tops. Bare shoulders tend to
make you look heavier in a photo.
- Long sleeves are preferred, they will keep
the eye from being drawn to the flesh of
the arm which creates a slimming look.
- Makeup can affect the way your portraits
look. Both fresh natural makeup and
evening makeup photograph well.
For Boys:
- A fresh shave is a must. If you have a
beard or mustache, make sure it is trimmed
to your liking.
For Young Children and Babies:
- Choose a time of day that is best for your
child's schedule.
- Be sure to have a cloth for drool or spit up,
a brush, an extra diaper and a few toys or
a favorite blanket
- The day before the portrait sitting try your
child's clothes on them to be sure they fit
properly.
- Please be prepared if the photographer
asks you to be a part of your child's
portrait, so please come well groomed. If it
is a baby the photographer may take
photos of the child's hands in yours, etc.
