Ask Amanda

This month's question comes from Katie and she asks, "It’s been a long time since I was in a professional photo studio. Any suggestions on what I should wear ?”

"The two biggest areas we help our customers with is that of clothing and hair. Here are some things to consider when selecting your clothes. First of all, white or pastel colors are perfect for lighter backgrounds while middle tones or deeper solid colors are ideal for formal portraits. However, if your session is going to be on location or outdoors, then casual outfits in earth tones work best. It's best to avoid large prints or patterns as that distract from your beautiful face and it's always better to choose long-sleeved shirts or sweaters rather than short-sleeved. When dealing hair, plan to wear your hair in a style you’re comfortable with and avoid new cuts or styles for at least 3 days prior to your session. Our friends at Lori's Day Spa would be more than happy to help you with a new look or style to help get you ready for your portrait session."

If you have found this information helpful, this, plus many other resources are available on our website in the "Studio Tips" Section
