CLOTHING

• Keep things simple in terms of colours and patterns – avoid multi coloured or heavily patterned items which can distract the eye
• For more formal portraits consider a plain shirt or something with a collar
• For more contemporary portraits consider a simple white or black tee shirt
• Bring a couple of changes
• Longer sleeves tend to suit adults
• Classic beats fashionable every time

MAKE-UP

• Normal make-up if fine – do not put on extra or apply heavier than usual
• Please bring some make-up with you for touch-ups during the shoot
• We can book a make-up artist for you – additional charge applies

HAIR

• Your normal hairstyle will be fine. If however, you decide to get a haircut give it a week to settle in
• Always bring a hairbrush

SPECIFIC ADVICE FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN

• Avoid giving advance warning to your kids – children may get very excited or alternatively very apprehensive
• Book a time of day that suits the child – this will enhance the process
• If the child has a favourite toy feel free to bring it along

SPECIFIC ADVICE FOR BABIES AND NEWBORNS

• Pick a time after a nap – when energy levels are best
• Please avoid sessions within a week on any inoculations
• If the child has a favourite toy feel free to bring it along
