Hair
Wear your hair in your most comfortable style. Have your hair cut around a week before your session is scheduled. Don't try a new hairstyle just for your session.

Skin Conditions
Don't worry if you develop a blemish. Our finished portraits can be fully retouched to eliminate blemishes and soften harsh lines.

Glasses
Problems with glasses can lead to extra retouching charges. We can remove normal glare on glasses, but tinted lenses cannot be lightened. Ask your optometrist for a pair of empty frames to wear for your portrait session.

Women/Girls
Makeup can affect the way your portrait looks. Both fresh, natural makeup and "evening" makeup both photograph well.

Men/Boys
A fresh shave is a must. If you have a beard or mustache, trim it to your liking.
