Plan your outfits depending on the package you've selected

For the Girls: Plan your wardrobe (don't forget matching undergarments) complete with accessories, jewelry, shoes, hats, etc. Have a manicure-professional or at home. A clear coat of polish or color for hands (and toes) and some lotion will have your hands looking great. Bring translucent powder for facial shine.
 
For the Guys: Plan a variety of looks to choose from and don't forget shoes to match. Be sure your clothing is clean and pressed. Oversized clothed are not as flattering in photographs as they are in person. Long sleeves and long pants are best. A fresh shave is a must.

General
 
Hair: If you plan to have a haircut, try to schedule it at least a week prior to your session. Also, if you color, be sure you are touched up just ahead of your appointment.
 
Skin: Sunburn can be a problem- it is very difficult to retouch. Also, plan your outfits with any tan lines in mind.
 
Glasses: Glasses can cause glare, distortions and magnifications which can be difficult to fix. We will do all we can to eliminate these potential problems. You may want to have your optician remove your lenses, or lend you a pair of  the same frames without the lenses.
 
Outdoors: Casual, medium toned clothing is best. Wear something that is comfortable to possibly sit on the ground. Consider colors that you see in nature. And even though it may be warm, sweaters are great.
 
Music: Bring some favorite CD's!

Call JoAnn or Kathryn for a clothing consultation or for any  ideas concerning personal props to help customize your session.
