What can
I/we do to prepare for the photo
session?
1. Select a time that
works best with your family's schedule:
Are your children typically more social
in the morning or afternoon? Generally,
children photograph best when they are
well rested and fed. 2. Decide the
type of "look" you want (e.g., formal or
casual).

How should
I/we dress?
1. When selecting clothing, keep
in mind your background options, and the
look you would like to portray. For a
dramatic look, dress everyone in white
and request the white background. White
shirts and khaki pants, or all black
clothing also makes excellent portrait
attire.

2.
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.
3.
Simplicity is the key when it comes to
planning a portrait. Solid colors are
best. Avoid large or bold patterns and
bright colors since they tend to draw
attention away from the face.
4. Long
sleeve dresses and shirts are
recommended. They draw attention away
from the arms and focus on the face.
(Short sleeves are acceptable for
infants and small children.)

5.
Coordinate your child's attire from head
to toe, carefully selecting appropriate
shoes and socks or stockings, as our
photographer may suggest a full length
pose.
6. Darker
clothing tends to minimize body size and
light tones tend to emphasize body size.
7.
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.
8. Dress
everyone in the same style clothing. Do
not mix casual and formal attire.
9. Do not
mix light and dark colors. Save
stronger colors and patterns for accent
items like scarves and neckties.
10. Keep make-up
(adults only!) and hairstyles simple.
Barrettes and ribbons should be small.
Hair should be neatly trimmed 48 hours
or longer prior to your appointment.

11. Avoid
last-minute rush by preparing your
clothing early.
