Tips for a Successful Portrait

1) Decide on a simplified colour scheme and harmonious fashion style.

2)
Avoid large or bold patterns and logos. Subtle prints or solid colours are more flattering.

3)
Stick to classic clothes; You still want to love your photo in ten years time.

4)
Textures such as lace, velvet and denim photograph well.

5)
Don't get your hair cut the day before. Leave it at least a week between having the cut and the portrait so it looks settled.

6)
Adult women should wear their make up as they normally do. Excessive make up, if not normally worn, will not make you feel comfortable. 

7)
Have young children well rested.

8)
If a certain toy always brings a smile to your child's face, bring it along.

9)
Personal items can add warmth and meaning to the portrait. You may bring along a musical instrument, pet (we love animals!), favourite toy, book, hat or other item that is relevant to your character.
