Some more tips for portraits

• Turtle necks or v-necks are flattering provided that neither is exaggerated in style. Avoid very wide or particularly deep v-neck garments or bulky cowl neck sweaters that completely hide the neck.
• For close-up portraits, long sleeves are essential, as bare arms call attention to themselves and will overpower the face. Remember, no matter how slim your arms are, they may appear larger in a portrait.
• Women being photographed in full length should wear longer skirts, pants, or dark nylons in order to keep the eye from being directed toward the legs and away from the face.
• Feet may show in the portrait, so be sure to wear socks and shoes that compliment the outfit you are wearing.
• Men should be clean-shaven or facial hair should be carefully groomed.
• Hair cuts should be planned about one week before the portrait session. Women should be photographed whenever they are happiest with their hair in relation to the time it is styled or cut.

Some suggestions for your portrait session

We suggest you schedule the session on a day when you are not overly busy. That way everyone will be ready for the session looking their best and feeling refreshed and relaxed. Your family's portrait is going to be very special

The length of the session depends on the number of people involved, the complexity of the set, and the location. We suggest you not only have the clothing you've selected for your portrait, but an alternate clothing change as well. For more formal portraits, have several selections of jewelry or accessories. If very young children are going to be photographed, don't forget to bring a toy, some books, or other fun distractions for them.

Clothing style and colour

Clothing and prop choices can make or break a portrait. It is very important to carefully plan your portrait session down to the last detail. When creating a portrait the objective is to draw attention to people's faces and their expressions. To do this effectively it is helpful if the skin tones are the brightest or most intense areas of the portrait. When a medium to dark background is preferred, most people photograph better in medium to dark toned clothing,whatever their skin tone.

Clothing for small groups (two or three individuals) should be simple and in the same tonal ranges. When subjects' clothing is a mixture of light and dark tones it decreases the visual harmony – the light tone will dominate. It may also make the person dressed in the lighter tone appear heavier.
