Expect the Best, Receive Nothing Less
-Avoid large prints, patterns, and stripes as they will draw attention away from your face
-Middle tones and deep solid colors photograph well (blue, green, brown, purple, ect..)
-Casual outfits, especially in Earth tones, look great outdoors
-Bright colors can look good, however they can detract from the face, so limit to 1 or 2 outfits.
-Sleeveless tops will make anyone's arms look bigger then they are
-Try to avoid getting a new hair cut or style before coming; wearing your hair in a comfortable style/how you would normally wear it is usually best
-If you get sunburned before your session, Please call and reschedule. Sunburn can NOT be retouched out of your portraits.
-If you have a letter jacket, bring it! We do not consider that an "outfit" except for the basic session.
-If you are unsure of which outfit to bring, bring both and we will help you decide
-Guys-
-A fresh shave is a must, we can not retouch out a five o'clock shadow
-If you have a beard or mustache, make sure it's neatly trimmed
-Girls-
-Keep your makeup natural and fresh
Basic Sessions: ~1 outfit, bring an outfit that is more formal and dressy. Girls-long sleeves & sweaters look great Guys-can be suit and tie, or just a more formal shirt will look fine as well
Classic: ~2-3 outfits, your first outfit should be the same as the basic, then we usually recommend the second to be a casual outfit like you would wear to school (think: dress clothes for your parent's pictures, then the second outfit is for you & your friend's pictures)
Most Popular: ~4-5 outfits, Your first two outfits will probably be the same as our classic session. You will also have the outfit you want to wear for the outdoors portraits, then the last outfit(s), get creative. You can bring in sports jerseys, dresses, ethnic, hobby/career related outfits, whatever is special to YOU, its YOUR session. OR you can just bring in a different casual or formal outfit, again its YOUR session. We do recommend that you try to vary the color/style of your clothes so that we can really get creative and use more of our backgrounds to create portraits that are unique to YOU!
Ultimate: Same as the most popular, except you can have as many outfits as we can get photographed in 2 hours. Remember, the longer you take changing, the less time we will have to photograph you, and the less outfits we will get time for. Also, remember we will be going to the Century Village and walking around, you want an outfit and shoes that are comfortable to be outside in.
Wet & Wild: You will be getting wet-literally soaked to the bone. You are going to want to bring a FULL change of clothes. There will be somewhere to change, so you do not have to drive home soaking wet.
