ADVICES FOR HOW TO DRESS FOR YOUR SESSION

For women :

  • Dark colors are slimming, but avoid a full black silhouette
  • Clothing with no pattern or designs and with neutral colors (beige, grey, pastels) is the best unless it involves a very formal dress that is the part of the composition
  • Clothes should be perfectly clean and ironed.
  • For casual clothing, shirts should be a solid color and have sleeves at least 3/4 length
  • Don't get a hair cut or a hair coloring just before your appointment
  • Neutral make up is the best, don't use tanning lotion before your photo session. Your cream foundation should match your natural skin tone. Avoid too much blush powder
  • Dress from head to toe. Choose shoes which will match your wardrobe
  • Have nicely manicured fingernails and toe nails

For men :
