portrait preparation information

clothing:

There are no absolute rules for what you should wear but the following guidelines should help:

• Keep things simple in terms of colours and pattern – avoid multi coloured or heavily patterned clothes which can distract the eye from the finished image.
• For more formal portraits consider a plain shirt or garments with a collar.
• For relaxed ‘contemporary’ portraiture a simple white or dark teeshirt is ideal.
• Please bring a couple of changes of clothes to try different looks.
• Longer sleeves tend to be more flattering on adults (Shirts, Blouses).
• Try to wear ‘classic’ designs (plain shirts, teeshirts etc) as more fashionable garments may date quickly.

makeup:

• Normal makeup is fine, keep it simple and avoid putting on extra makeup for the session.
• we suggest that you bring some makeup with you to ‘touch up’ during the session.
• We can arrange a professional makeup artist for an additional cost.

hair:

• Your normal hairstyle is fine, it makes sense to have your haircut before a session but it is important to wait at least a week before your portrait session as it normally takes a few days for hair to settle down after a cut.
• Importantly please remember to bring a hairbrush!!

specific advice for younger children:

• Avoid giving advance warning to your child. From experience, younger children may get very excited or alternatively very apprehensive.
• Please try to book an appointment at a time of day when your child is alert and full of energy as this will ensure the best results.
• If your child has a favorite toy please feel free to bring it along.
• Please note all children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

specific advice for babies and newborns:

• Time of day is important when planning a session for your baby – pick a time just after a nap when energy levels are good.
• Please avoid sessions within a few days of inoculations as your baby is probably not in the best form and skin can be affected.
• If your baby has a favorite toy please feel free to bring it along.

If your newborn baby or child is not in good form on the day of your appointment please call and cancel the session and a new time can be arranged. It’s important that your child is in good form to get the best results.
