Get some rest. You want to be as fresh and relaxed as possible on your shoot day
You CAN wear bright colors…especially shirts, ties, blouses.
Do not wear WHITE as the outer garment unless you are a Doctor. Very few people look great in bright white.
SIMPLE garments and SOLID colors look best. Tweeds and patterns are distracting.
Light, dark, mid-grey…they all look GREAT.
Medium to darker colors project a more business-like image.
Avoid BOLD PATTERNS unless that is part of your “personal brand”. In that case…GO FOR IT!!!
Avoid very wide or particularly deep V-neck garments as well as bulky cowl neck sweaters that completely hide the neck.
Long sleeves are preferable as bare arms call attention to themselves and can overpower the face.
Women should keep make-up light and natural.
We will COACH YOU to get the right EXPRESSIONS and make you feel comfortable. Even if you dislike being photographed we’ll make this E-A-S-Y!!! It’s easier than you think and less painful than a root canal
Please bring your own hair-brush or comb to the shoot
Our basic retouching (free) includes removing stray hair, reducing smile/age lines, brightening teeth and eyes.
If possible, please arrive at the shoot wearing your business attire. Changing cuts into your shoot time.
Arrive with your hair styled and makeup already applied unless you are using OUR hair+makeup services. If so, please arrive with ONLY MOISTURIZER applied to your face.
You clothes should FIT well. No amount of retouching can replace a suit that fits. Remember…if you can’t button your suit coat…you should wear a larger coat.
