Preparing your family to be photographed
Please allow 1 hour total for your portrait session and selection of your directory pose.
Please be on time, and check in with the Host/Hostess. They will direct you to your photography location.
Clothing: Stay away from busy patterns, such as stripes, polka dots. Solid colors such as red, blue, orange, brown, purple, or other colors produce better contrasting photos. Choose a color theme that unifies the look of your family. Long sleeves are better for adults and focus attention on the face. Short sleeves are better for kids and infants. Wrinkled clothing does not photograph well.
Hair: Avoid haircuts within 48 hours of your portrait session. It is best to have any hair changes done 2 weeks prior. Try to avoid hairstyles with large or small uplifting curls which may let our background show through the hair
Make-up: Apply make-up as you normally would for an evening out. Pay special attention to your eyes. (This is the focal point in a portrait). An extra coat of mascara can help bring out your eyes. Bring lipstick and powder for touch ups. ChapStick works well for guys. (It keeps lips from looking dry and cracked). The Portrait Cafe offers retouching to help with any complexion issues (scars, blemishes, facial lines, etc.) and can also whiten teeth.
Glasses & Accessories: If you wear glasses normally, please feel free to wear them in your portrait. Our photographers are trained to minimize any glare, and this way we photograph the“real you”. Avoid large distracting accessories. Smaller jewelry items compliment your face.
Nails: If you wear nail polish, it is best to wear neutral colors so that they will match with what you are wearing.
Posing For Your Images: If you have any special requests, please let us know. We encourage you to have fun during your portrait session. Let the photographer work with the children to bring out their natural smiles
