Frequently Asked Questions

Outfit


  • Keep clothing simple. Try to choose solid colors for your portraits.
  • Long sleeves will draw attention away from your arms and helps bring the focus back to your face.
  • As we do our shoot, we may want to do a full-length pose. Make sure you coordinate portrait clothing from head to toe.
  • Darker clothing slims. Choose shades of black, brown, blue, dark green and other jewel-toned colors. Light tones tend to emphasize body size.
  • Scoops or v-necks flatter shorter necks and full faces. Turtlenecks or high-necked garments flatter longer necks and slender faces.
  • Keep clothing consistent for group shots. Dress everyone in the same style. Don't mix casual and formal clothing in portraits.

Props and Backgrounds


  • Ask your photographer for advice. If you're not sure what you want in your portrait, I can help you choose a portrait background that suits your needs.
  • Add in your personality. Bring your own props for a personal touch. Consider items such as baby blanket, stuffed animal, or a special toy.  Get additional prop ideas and view our prop portfolio to enhance your portraits.

Coordinate Colors


  • Wear light on white. Light pastel or white clothing looks best against a light-colored or white portrait background.
  • Wear dark on dark. Dark clothing looks best against darker backgrounds and creates a more formal mood in portraits.
  • Don't mix light and dark colors in portraits. Show your style in small accents. Save stronger colors and patterns for accessories like scarves and neckties.
