What to Wear

Women’s Clothing Tips

• Try your outfits on at home first and select a variety to bring with you. You can schedule an in-studio clothing consult with the photographer on a day before your session if you need advice. Select and wear clothes that you are comfortable wearing and that fit you well.
• Avoid big prints and busy patterns.
• A white or cream colored blouse by themselves is not recommended.
• Sleeveless blouses or tops by themselves are not recommended.
• For a no-jacket casual look, bring various colored blouses – ideally darker than your skin tone.
• Wear colors that compliment your features.
• Darker colors project a more business-like image.
• Makeup- wear a little darker than you normally would. Avoid shimmers or products with lots of sparkle or shine.

Jewelry:

• Keep jewelry simple.
• Avoid jewelry that would distract from your face or that looks dated.
• Bring a few accessories with you if you are unsure.

• Arrive with:
• Hair styled and makeup already applied.
• You can arrive dressed in your outfit or you may change here in the studio. If changing here, please arrive 10 minutes prior to your session time.

• Good attitude.
• Hair brush/comb and spray.
• Makeup and lipstick for touch ups.

What to Wear

Men’s Clothing Tips

• The corporate look is a suit jacket, dress shirt and tie.
• A casual business look is often a jacket and open dress shirt, or dress shirt on it’s own.
• For a no-jacket casual look, bring several colored shirts – ideally darker than your skin tone.
• For photography purposes, a white dress shirt by itself is not recommended. However, you can wear a white shirt underneath a jacket.
• If you are not sure feel free to bring a few different jackets, shirt colors and ties so we can assist you
  with selections.
• If you tend to have a 5 o’clock shadow in the afternoon, either schedule your session for a morning time slot, or plan on shaving before your session if it is in the afternoon.
