If you dress your child in bright, strong colors either a light or dark background can be stunning. The fancier the child's clothes, the simpler the background should be. Use well-shined black or coordinating colored shoes with the outfit the child is wearing. Make it a cute, casual portrait by not wearing shoes. Hair should be trimmed neatly.
Simple hairstyles are best.
Keep barrettes or ribbons small. Avoid busy fabrics that will detract from your child's face. If so, feel free to bring in any special items pertaining to this event such as birthday decorations. A favorite blanket, toy, musical instrument or anything else to personalize your portrait is also welcome. If you'd like to use our props, we have a great selection suitable for any occasion.
