Capturing your memories at play and home.
Many factors will impact the success of your
photography session or event. Consider the
following information to help ensure your
appearance is the best possible in your
portraits.
|
|
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water before your photography
session. Being well hydrated helps you to be
awake and glow.
Rest
You've heard of "beauty sleep" - well, sleep is
very important to your health and impacts your
appearance. Lack of quality rest may
result in puffy and red eyes; it may impact your
posture and expression. Be sure to get
plenty of sleep the night before your
photography session. If your session is in
the evening, an afternoon nap would be an
excellent choice.
Make-up
If you are wearing make-up for your photography
session, you may need to apply it a little
heavier than normal, but make sure to keep it
from cracking or being blotchy. The studio
lights will slightly wash-out subtle colors and
the camera will show any blemishes - your
foundation should match your skin color.
Applying a finishing powder to your completed
make-up helps to reduce shine.
Clothing
Dark clothing tends to minimize body shape and
size, while light colors tend to do the
opposite, emphasizing size
and shape. Wear solid colored clothing,
avoiding busy patterns and prints. Keep
your outfit simple with matching and
complementary pieces of clothing; shoes and
socks too. Freshly pressed clothes create
a clean image (no pun intended).
You are welcome to bring extra clothing for your
photography session, one or two additional
properly fitting outfits is usually sufficient.
Hair
Don't forget to bring a comb or brush. You
shouldn't have your hair cut too close to your
photography session; allow one to two weeks for
your hair to adjust to its new weight and shape.
Give at least two weeks for perms to relax.
Avoid wearing a hat the day of your session,
even if you will be wearing it in some of your
pictures. Ladies, when using hair removal
techniques be sure to give adequate time for
redness and swelling to improve, the day before
is usually best. Guys, trim and shave within an hour of your session.
Props
We have a lot of props at our studio, but you
may want something more personal to include in
your portraits. Bring your favorite hat,
jacket, stuffed animal, or flowers; your sports
equipment or musical instrument may be a great
touch.
Relax and Have Fun!
Your general mood show's in your pictures. The
more relaxed and happy you are, the better your
pictures will be. Let's have fun!
