PORTRAIT
TIPS
Whether
you come to our studio or meet us on location for your
portrait session, a few photographic tips on wardrobe
will ensure a successful shoot, and help you look your
best!
WOMEN:
Layers work well. Bring clothing that reflects the image
you want to promote, either business, casual or fun. Bring
a few different color tops, solids usually look better
than prints or plaids (we want them to notice your face
first, not your clothing! You don't want to look like
a test pattern!) and pastels flatter most skin types.
Wrinkles, stains and lint show. Don't forget props or
accessories if you use them in your profession - they
can communicate quickly what your field is. Overall, bring
comfortable clothing and jewelry you know you look good
in. Generally, you may want to apply your makeup a little
bolder for your shoot and some light foundation and powder
go a long way to reduce skin reflection. If you can see
it in the mirror, it will show in the photograph! Professional
make-up and hair styling is available for an additional
fee. Eyeglasses
will reflect light, so you might bring some empty frames
or have your lenses removed. You’ll
want to wear them if that’s how most people know
and see you. We can work around eyeglasses but there is usually an additional
fee to remove glass flare.
MEN:
Bring
clothing that reflects the image you want to promote,
either business, sports, casual or fun. Bring a few different
ties if it's a business portrait, smaller patterns usually
look better than wild prints or plaids. For a more informal
session, layers work well and allow for lots of choices.
Bring jackets, sweaters, vests and props that depict your
interests or profession. Don't forget to shave!
SITTING
FEES :
Payment
for the shoot & materials is due at the time of your
photo session. Any additional fees generated from retouching,
reprints, extra CDs, etc. will be billed on a separate
invoice and is due upon pick up or delivery. Cash, check
or money orders are all acceptable. If you wish, you can
use your
Visa, MasterCard or American Express
Card to pay your invoice via PayPal.
Your photos will be posted to my web site, usually in
a day or so, and you will receive an email including the
link to view the results of our shoot. Once you make your
selection(s), they will be retouched to your specifications
and burned to a CD or reprinted to enlargements.
