PREPPING FOR PORTRAITS

 

 

Children and Families

The sittings are approximately an hour, it may run shorter or longer though depending

on the ages of the children, the amount of clothing changes for both children

and adults.

For young children we suggest scheduling the session after naps and meals. Please

bring snacks. Hats and costumes are a wonderful addition and can be a big bonus!

the best snacks

  • jelly beans

  • goldfish

  • cheese cubes

  • dried fruit like raisins

    Snacks that will not work well

  • chocolate

  • lollipops, they take too long to eat and can stain mouths and clothes.

  • ice cream

  • any food that takes too long to eat. Although the mention of them can make good incentives for after session rewards.

 

Adult Headshots, Personal and Corporate

The sitting can run anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the amount of clothing changes. For women, simple solid colors

and understated jewelry work best to draw attention to the face. Love red - its strong, confident and "pops!" Make up should be natural and

don't forget the powder to hide the shine! I highly suggest hair and make up. glamsquad.com comes to your home for either or both services!

For men, a few different shirt/tie changes beneath the jackets/blazers for a variety of looks. All clothing should be clean

and wrinkle free.

 

Maternity Sessions

Silky flowing robes and scarves, oversized white button down blouses, as well as very fitted tops, dresses and pants to show the "belly". The day

of the photo shoot do not wear pants over the belly as they make an indentation. Book the sitting towards the end of the seventh month so the

belly is nice and large without swelling which will makes it easier to move around.
