• Dark colors are slimming and compliment dark back grounds
• Avoid large prints, patterns or bold stripes that detract from your face.
• Choose long sleeved shirts or sweaters rather than short sleeves

Hair:

• Plan to wear a hair style with which you are comfortable. Avoid new cuts or styles.
• For fly away hair, we suggest using some hair spray since stray hairs are costly for you to have retouched.

Glasses:

• If you wear glasses, wear them for your portrait. It can be very hard to tell until you are in the studio whether your prescription will cause reflective glare during your portrait session. You can completely eliminate any potential problem by making arrangements to borrow a pair of empty frames (without lenses) in your frame style from your optician. Glass glare is costly for you to have retouched.

For Girls:

• "Evening" make up is most appropriate for portraits.

For Guys:

• A fresh shave is a must! If you have a beard or mustache, make sure it’s neatly trimmed.
