Stylin' for Success!
Sophisticated? Radical? Classic? Be creative and have fun with
your senior portrait session. Bring several changes of clothes and express
your unique personality. A sports jacket, uniform, hobbies, pets - take
whatever is "you".
Girls: Wear sweaters, blouses or dresses that have sleeves and a
flattering neckline. Darker, autumn colors flatter your skin tones well
and attract the viewer to your face. The exception to this are high-key
(white background) portraits. Then clothing and accessories can be all
white or all black to place emphasis on your skin tone.
Guys: For your head and shoulders' poses we recommend you wear a
sweater or dress shirt and tie (we would be happy to tie it for you in a
double-Windsor knot) with a suit or sports coat.
Be sure the neck of the shirt fits perfectly and is not frayed.
Schedule a haircut three days prior to your appointment to allow your hair
to return to a natural look.
Focus on this....
A senior portrait that gets high marks begins with careful preparation.
Here are some helpful suggestions for a great senior portrait.
INFORM the photographer of any special concerns you have
about your poses or expressions before you are photographed.
Sunburns- Don't get burned by this nasty habit. We know that you
want to look tan, but please remember we are not able to remove the
reddened complexion and pealing caused by sunburn.
HAIR - Wear your hair in your usual style(s). Don't try a new
hairstyle or haircut just before your sitting.
COMPLEXION - Don't worry about normal blemishes or flaws in you
complexion. All finished portraits except wallets are retouched to
eliminate these imperfections.
MAKEUP - Girls should keep their makeup natural. A daytime makeup
is preferred. Avoid "fad" styles.
SHAVING - For the men, a close shave within a few hours of the
appointment is a must.
ACCESSORIES - Be sure to bring accessory items with you such as
necklaces, earrings, and you class ring. Hats are great for character
studies.
REST - Get plenty of rest the night before your appointment. Wake
up well before the appointment so you will look your best and not be
rushed.
BUDDY PHOTOS - Bring a friend to be photographed with.
PETS - A well behaved pet may join you. Please bring a friend to care
for your pet during the rest of your sitting.
