What kind of sitting do you want?
Questions to ask:
- Who is the sitting for? A family, baby, high school senior, couple, children.

     
First, see our COLOR SUGGESTIONS for background and clothing combinations!

Simplicity is the keynote.

· Solid colors are best. Avoid large or bold patterns and bright colors. They draw attention away from the face.

· 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).

· Wear make-up as you would for an evening out.

· Coordinate your attire from head to toe, carefully selecting appropriate shoes and stockings, as our photographer may portray you in a full length pose.

· Darker clothing tends to minimize body size, and light tones tend to emphasize body size.

· Do not wear white shoes, socks, shirts, pants, or undershirts for outdoor sittings.

· Dress everyone in the same style of clothing. Do not mix casual and formal attire.

·Keep the tonal range of clothing within the group the same. Do not mix light and dark values. Save patterns for accent items like scarves and neckties.

· White or light pastel clothing, shoes, stockings, pants, or dresses look best in portraits taken against a white or light background. Save stronger colors and patterns for accent items.

· To assure a successful portrait, it is best to bring along several additional clothing changes.
