Here are a few tips when getting ready for your session;
Nails - Be sure to have clean and filed nails, a clear, light pink, red or color that compliments your outfit works nicely. You fingers may show in some photos, as well as a few close up images, you will want to be sure that they are presentable.
Make-up - Use a fresh tube of mascara so you don't have clumps. Your eyelashes are going to show in closeups and mascara clumps will stand out. As for eyeshadow and liner, it is best to stick with neutral colors, such as grays and browns. Avoid light pastels, highly frosted shadows and any form of glitter. (glitter will show up as tiny white spots around your eyes or on your face depending on where it is located)
Hair - Don't use a lot of hairspray, gel or other product in your hair as it should move with you when you tilt your head and blow nicely in the breeze. Remember to bring a hairbrush or comb to your session. You can also bring hairspray or product with you to do any minor touch up's that may be needed.
Wardrobe - Short skirts or dresses really limit your posing options, please keep this in mind when choosing your clothes. The goal is for your face to be prominent, not the clothing. For this reason, it is discouraged to wear too busy of a pattern or extremely bright colors, as it tends to draw the eye to the clothes instead of you.
Please note: Having a basic outfit and using bright or patterned accessories works really well.
You want to create a time less look. Never wear a lighter color pant with a darker color top, as this will tend to make your lower half look bigger than your upeer half. Wrinkles will show in your portraits. If your eye can see the wrinkles, the camera will as well. Be sure to iron clothing if necessary and bring items that tend to wrinkle easily on a hanger. It is also recommended to check clothing for stains and be sure all clothing is clean.
