Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for color pictures?

Please try to coordinate your attire from head to toe. If the weather is warm outside, you will probably not wear shoes or socks, but feel free to bring them. If you want to wear shoes in the pictures, please do not wear tennis shoes. Keep the tone of clothing the same. Do not mix light and dark clothing and save patterns for accent items like scarves and neckties. Solid colors work best, but avoid large or bold patterns and bright colors, they draw attention away from the face. So in other words, try to keep it simple. Long sleeve dresses and shirts are recommended, because they draw attention away from the arms and help focus on the face.

What should I wear for black and white pictures?

Children - Children look best in denim overalls or a denim dress. The denim looks great painted blue! The simpler it is, the better it looks in black and white pictures. Please feel free to look at the picture gallery to get some ideas of what other kids have worn. If you have a special outfit or dress feel free to bring it. I have old vintage outfits that I can dress the children in, but it never hurts for the parents to bring a couple of their favorite outfits.

Adults - Jeans and a white button downs work best for adults, but kakhi and white will work also. Try not to wear to many prints - it will look to busy. Remember that these are black and white pictures - color does not really matter! Dark colors do not look good, so please try to avoid black and navy. All other colors are fair game.

What should I bring to the sitting?

Please try to bring some props to make your portrait more personal. For example, letter jackets, class rings, band instruments, sports equipment, stuffed animals or even your pet. If you bring your pet, please make sure that someone is there to take care of them.
