What to Wear?

Simple non-distracting colors and simple patterns are typically best. Guys look great in an open collared dress shirt or a new polo shirt. Light colors bring out your features, earth tones work well for outdoor photos. Girls look great in any nice top that is not too fancy. Typically a portrait is from the waist up and the yearbook photo is a tighter crop. Sometimes additional poses will include a full length pose so, shorts, pants, skirts wear what essentially matches your outfit. It is great to have several choices especially for the 8 proof folio !

Portraits are about you - not the clothes you're wearing. Bring a few changes from casual to formal that you are comfortable wearing. For casual poses denim jeans, Kakis, shorts polo shirts a t-shirt are fine. Long sleeved shirts photograph better.

You might compromise. Bring a couple outfits you like and one or two your parents like.

Dressing in layers allows for more variation, you can take your outer shirt off or unbutton it for a different look.

Muscular arms and broad shoulders, it's great to be in shape and summer fashions can show more than you want, especially for the young ladies, consider an outfit with 3/4 length sleeves or long sleeves. Watch out for low cut tops, bra straps and under garments can be seen in different poses. It is best to try on your outfits before you come to the shoot and check out how well the clothes fit and how much they reveal.

Shoes

If you bring formal wear, don't forget the shoes and appropriate socks. Casual poses often work well in sandals or bare feet. No need for 6" hi heels shoes.

Hair

This is typically not the best time to try a new hair style! Go with your normal style, something you're comfortable with. Don't forget a comb or brush and maybe some hair product just in case. Don’t wash your hair right before the session, typically the day before is best for natural oils to help your hair shine and stop fly- away hair.
