Please be on time or call if you are running late.
Don't get a drastic new hairstyle before your session - leave at least a week to get used to something new.
Avoid sunburn right before your session. Also try to avoid tan lines.
If you bring a pet, be sure you have a place to keep him/her during the rest of your session. Bring some treats or a favorite toy. (Note: Some locations do not allow pets)
It is helpful to bring your clothing grouped together (on hangers). You will be less likely to forget anything important.
Weather - If we need to reschedule the session, there is no additional cost. If the weather is questionable, just call me and we will make a decision together.
Tattoos & Scars/Blemishes - If you would like to have a small tattoo "removed" in your images, just let me know. Scars can be softened (aka lightened), removed or left as is. Blemishes are automatically retouched, so don't worry about any minor breakouts. Retouching is included on all images.
Braces can be removed for an additional fee.
Glasses - If you are concerned about glass glare, some optometrists may be willing to "loan" you an empty set of frames for your session. Sometimes it is possible to pop out the lenses. Glass glare can be removed for an additional fee.
Accessories: hats, jewelry, sunglasses, sports equipment, instruments, pet, car - anything that shows your unique personality
Clothing: your favorite looks, something for "mom", something fun/funky; something formal
Your favorite music
A Parent or Friend
Any Ideas you want to try
A willingness to have fun and create some Senior Art
Makeup Suggestions: Black Mascara on eyelashes; light pink on cheekbones/apples; glossy colored lips (lighter colors are not recommended); bring powder for face if it tends to be shiny; overall makeup should be slightly heavier than normal.
Clothing Tips
Baggy clothes can make you look larger than you are.
If you are concerned about your arms looking large, it is a good idea to stay away from sleeveless styles.
Short skirts: although it is a favorite of many Senior girls, keep in mind that poses will be limited.
Outdoor Sessions: A lot of places don't have areas to change, so it is a good idea to wear layers.
Undergarments: Be aware of what you are wearing under your clothes. Please bring appropriate undergarments for each outfit.
Shaving - Be sure that you are clean shaven, regardless of how you style your facial hair.
Bring a dark colored t-shirt to wear under dark shirts. Black or gray work best.
