The most important factor in achieving a timeless portrait is choosing your wardrobe with care. This work of art will stay with your family for generations, so take the time to look your best.
Style and Options
We encourage you to wear formal or casual-chic attire that is well-fitted and makes you feel comfortable and confident. Layered outfits and knits photograph beautifully. Your shoes and jewelry will also be in the portrait so please ensure that they complement your outfit. Avoid wearing white or pastel colours, loud patterns, logos, golf shirts, and identical or matching outfits. Allow your personality and charm to shine through.
Jérôme asks that you prepare at least one other outfit option for us to consider using. Your session is a time for self-expression: bring props that say something about you. Musical instruments, a favourite toy, and sports gear are popular examples.
Finishing Touches
Make sure your hair and makeup are done and that your fingernails are neat. Getting a good night’s sleep and staying hydrated will also help you look your best. For those who wear glasses, the lenses should have a non-reflective coating.
“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls.”— Ted Grant
