Frequently Asked Questions
What type of clothing should we wear?
Creating a perfect portrait takes a little planning. Fine
portraiture captures facial expressions and mood. Clothing,
accessories, and props are secondary and shouldn’t be
distracting.
*
Avoid using busy patterns and bright colors.
* Light colors are best with light backgrounds and fair
complexions.
* Darker colors are best with deep backgrounds and dark hair or
complexions.
* Everyone should be dressed in coordinating colors, i.e. khaki
pants and white shirts; black tops and blue jeans.
* Everyone’s shoes and socks should match and dark colors are
best.
* Keep necklines simple.
