Subtle stripes in suits and dress shirts are generally acceptable, but high contrast bold stripes spell disaster. Styles of clothing should be conservative. A glance at the graduating class photos in our hallway, demonstrates how quickly styles of dress can change. A conservative approach will increase the useful life of your portrait. When wearing knits, shear fabrics, and sweaters, the studio lights can sometimes cause white or dark colored undergarments to show through.
Flesh tones are preferrable.
Men, if your portrait is scheduled for the afternoon, you may want to consider taking a shaving kit to work with you. If you anticipate getting a hair cut, don't have it done the day of the portrait. Men, ideally, should have their hair trimmed three days prior to the portrait session, to allow a more naturally groomed look. 7 Get plenty of sleep. If you've been in surgery all night, call us and reschedule for another time.
