Frequently Asked Questions
Do you travel to take photos? Yes.

Should I bring accessories and/or to the photo session?
Accessories and/or props can definitely enhance a photo session. They can be a statement about you. Please feel free to bring props like hats, boots, jewelry, scarves, musical instruments, cars or trucks, sunglasses, sports equipment, dance costumes, hunting equipment, cell phones, art supplies, blankets, stuffed animals, flowers, and ....... the list is endless and personal. Accessorize your outfits to reflect your style.

What clothes should I bring to the photo session? First and foremost, wear clothing that you like. You are the final judge as to what you like to wear and that's fine.

Should I get my hair styled for the picture session? If you are going to cut your hair, then do so at least one week prior to your appointment.

Any tips about makeup? Wear makeup as you would normally. A touch of foundation will smooth skin tones. Mascara will make your eyes stand out.

Do I need to worry about blemishes? I can remove blemishes on purchased products.

Should I get a good tan before the session? Try to avoid too much exposure to the sun. Tan lines and sunburns are often impossible to retouch.

Do you have TIPS for What to Wear?
Below are some tips that you might consider as you select what to wear and please remember that it is okay to bring several clothing changes. These are just guidelines and are not meant to be hard and fast rules that can't be broken.
1. Casual clothing tends to compliment portraits in outdoor settings. Jeans and casual tops work well for high school kids when taking pictures outside. Choose different colored outfits that represent what you are like. Bring outfits that reflect your different sides: trendy, classic, sports, formal. Variety makes for an interesting set of pictures.
2. Long sleeve shirts and blouses work well on adults to hide bare arms. Short sleeves work well on kids and teenagers.
3. Long pants tend to look best. In general, it's best not to wear shorts. Bare legs do not always photograph well.
4. Couples or families should consider complimentary colors with the same brightness range. The group should wear similar colors so that the colors don't clash.
5. Medium to dark shades tend to make a person look slimmer.
6. Solid colors and simple patterns tend to look best, but bold colors and patterns can add interest to a picture.
7. Try to make sure that your shoes match your outfit.
8. Press your clothes to avoid a wrinkled look. Bring them to the session on hangers.
9. Avoid really busy and distracting patterns if possible like bold stripes and plaids.
10. Avoid logos on shirts unless it is a favorite shirt. An exception to this might be a shirt with a school, work or team logo.
11. Avoid a lot of jewelry and consider not wearing wearing a watch. It is often best to keep jewelry simple.
12. Stripes running horizontally tend to make you appear wider.
13. Bulky and baggy clothing can make you look heavier.
14. Guys should normally be free of facial stubble so it is best to shave before the photo session.
15. Flesh colored undergarments tend not to show. Sometimes it's best to try on an outfit at home and check it out in the mirror to make sure there are no potential problems. Be aware that the straps of undergarments sometimes show around the edges of tops.
16. Avoid wearing white or brightly colored socks.

Metal Prints
Aluminyzed metal prints infuse your images right into the surface of a specially treated sheet of high-gloss aluminum for a look that you'll need to see firsthand to truly appreciate. The result of the process are rich vibrant colors, added depth, and an incredible level of detail that can't be matched by conventional paper prints. Metal prints come ready to hang with a floating mount that suspends your image away from the surface of the wall. Metal prints are not the same as prints on metallic paper.

Gallery Wraps
Fine art canvas gallery wraps are a stylish low-cost alternative to traditional framing. Images are printed using archival inks on museum-quality, fine art canvas and then treated with a coating to protect the surface from scratches and light. Canvases can be stretched to cover the deep sides of the sturdy wood frame. The gallery wrap print arrives at your home ready to display.
