Some Important Information For
You |

|
General, simple, and plain outfits
photograph the best, as they are not distracting. Our aim is to produce a
timeless, beautiful portrait for you, and the best way to begin is to
remember one word....SIMPLICITY! Your clothes should be plain and simple, not
loud or busy. Always have adults in short or preferably long sleeves, never
sleeveless. This is one time your favorite outfit may not be the best outfit
to be photographed in. Remember - nothing dates a photograph faster than
trendy clothing. |

One of our favorite subjects. Please remember they are babies and dress them that way. We suggest plain, simple outfits without big collars or ruffles that get in the baby's face. Bare feet are best, as shoes and socks often make the feet look too large. As we say, "bare feet, chubby legs and arms are what a baby is all about!" Bring at least one extra outfit in case of an accident. A favorite toy is also helpful with a bottle in case the baby is fussy. |

We have
many great props to use with children or bring one of your own. The
possibilities are endless. Consider a favorite stuffed
animal or wooden toys. Plastic toys in bright colors tend to overwhelm
the child in the photograph. The prop should enhance the child, not overpower
them. Please make sure to let us know in advance if you have any props or
poses that are a favorite. Play outfits are best for children as activity
centered portraits are so natural. Denim is always good for boys or girls. If
you would like to have a "fancy-dressed up" portrait, please also
consider a fun photograph as they are usually the most treasured and depict
the "real" child. Always keep in mind, you
want your child's face to be the focal point of the portrait - not the
clothing they are wearing. Women |

Make-up: Eye shadow should be applied lightly and with care, the central focus of the interest in the portrait is the eyes. Neutral shades of gray or brown work best to enhance the eyes. Some blues or greens reflect the lights and make the eyes look unnatural in photographs. Also be careful with concealer under the eyes - a too light shade will give you the appearance of "Raccoon Eyes". Apply two coats of mascara on both upper and lower lashes. Wear your other make-up as usual. Please bring your make-up with you in case any minor modifications are required. |

Be sure to shave just prior to your appointment as there is no way to hide "five o'clock shadow" in color photography. |

Glasses If you
wear glasses, ask your optician to supply you with a pair of empty frames for
the day of your appointment. Not only do glasses catch light reflections, but
they can also distort the face line in some portraits because of the lenses.
Photo-gray lenses are a big problem because the studio lights can cause them
to darken. Contact lenses are no problem. Contact
