ENGAGEMENT SESSION
“What should I wear on our shoot?”
Here are some simple guidelines to help you out:
● Keep your look simple. We want to focus on your beauty, not the clothes
● Wear clothing that reflects you and make sure it’s clothing that you like to wear.
● Pants, slacks or shirts should be darker then your top.
● Clothing should match the season (don’t wear summer clothing during winter).
● BOLD, solid colors are preferred.
● Stay away from stripes, plaids, checks, as those draw attention away from your face.
● Stay away from pale or pastels unless they highlight your skin tone.
● Fair haired, light skinned people will look washed out with light colors.
● Bring a couple of shirts or blouses sweaters, or jackets.
● Bring accessories such as hats, jewelry, scarf’s etc.
● Pick out colors that complement your skin tone. If you aren’t sure, ask your mom.
● If your portrait is to be taken with another person coordinate your colors.
● Colors should complement each other.
● Above all, think BOLD colors (but not neon colors).
