SESSION DAY – Bring clothing changes including accessories to your portrait appointment, including at least 1 solid color choice. Bring a comb or hair brush and toothbrush to your appointment. It is best not to plan anything immediately following your appointment, we often photograph right up until dark.
RELAX & HAVE FUN – This is an opportunity to celebrate you and create fun memories of this exciting time in life.
GIRLS
WARDROBE – Our local boutiques offer wardrobe styling and beautiful clothing. Call us to schedule a personalized wardrobe consult. It can be a really fun way to explore new styles and get suggestions on what colors, necklines and lengths are the most flattering for you. Clothing charges are welcome. Take a fresh look at your favorite outfits. How is the fit and the condition of the fabric. Favorite items get a lot of wear. Bring clothes on hangers pressed or ready to wear.
HAIR – Feel free to bring supplies you might need: a brush, flat iron, curling iron and hair spray are always helpful. Perhaps you’d like to plan for a blowout the day of your appointment – don’t forget to call and set up that appointment in advance with a little extra margin on the day of your photo session. Hairdressers can run late and sunset is our favorite time to photograph.
MAKE UP – Add a spark of celebration and confidence to your session. Whether you prefer a soft, light, natural makeup on the beach or a stronger more dramatic look, a professional makeup artist is a treat on the day of your session. Schedule a makeup application/lesson here at our studio 30-45 minutes before your session.
GUYS
ATTIRE - Take a fresh look at your favorite outfits. Showing signs of wear? Is the fabric pilling? Is the color fading? How about the fit? Too loose or too tight? Bring a casual and a more dressy outfit pressed and on hangers.
GROOMING – If you like a clean shave - no amount of Photoshop can give you the natural look of a clean shave. Be prepared for 5 o’clock shadow. If you think you’ll need a refresh by late afternoon, don’t forget your shaving gear. Bring a razor or an electric razor with you. *Ears, noses, eyebrows and beards all benefit from a freshly groomed appearance.
HAIR – If you like a fresh haircut, you’ll want to work that into the schedule. If you prefer a more lived in look say after a week or 2, you’ll want to plan farther ahead. Long or short - clean hair is a good idea. Bring a brush, comb and toothbrush to your appointment.
POCKETS - Make sure you empty your pockets. Phones and keys make pockets look bumpy.
