Clothing

Here are some things to consider when selecting your clothes:

  • White or pastel colors are perfect for lighter backgrounds.
  • Casual outfits in earth tones work best for outdoor photographs.
  • Middle tones or deeper solid colors are ideal for formal portraits.
  • Bright colors look great with our Color Key backgrounds.
  • Avoid large prints or patterns that distract from your face.
  • Choose long-sleeved shirts or sweaters rather than short-sleeved.

Hair

Plan to wear your hair in a style you’re comfortable with. Avoid new cuts or styles.

Glasses

If you wear glasses, wear them for your portrait, but have the lenses removed.

For Girls

Keep your make-up natural and fresh.

For Guys

A fresh shave is a must! If you have a beard or mustache, make sure it’s neatly trimmed.
