                                         Location Clothing Suggestions

                                           The following is only a guide and can be discussed in more detail during a consultation.

                                          Warm Weather
                                    • White and khaki colours are perfect.
                                    • Avoid busy, patterned or bold colours. 
                                    • Sleeveless dresses for a girl work well.
                                    • White/pastel polo shirt and light coloured shorts great for a boy.
                                    • For women, capris, shorts, trousers or skirt with white blouse will flatter your figure.
                                    • For men, light coloured polo shirt, shirt or t-shirts, light shorts or trousers work well.
                                    • Blue is also a great choice in warm weather.
                                    • For group portraits, outfits should be varied but in harmony with each other.

                                           Cool/Cold Weather
                                    • Winter coats, smart jumper or jacket always works well.
                                    • Scarves, hat and wollen gloves make great photos and keep you warm!
                                    • Adults - colours should be solid, light or dark
                                    • Bold, colourful colours look great with toddlers and projects their energy and enthusiasm
                                    • Children - colourful boots look great plus keeps their feet snug!
                                    • For group portraits, outfits should be varied but in harmony with each other
                                    • Trainers not preferred

                                            Hair
                                    • If you plan to have your hair styled before for the shoot, schedule an appointment 2 week before your photo session
                                    • Being photographed too soon after can prevent you from looking like yourself

                                            Make-Up
                                    • No make-up for children. I retouch all blemishes including bruises or scratches
                                    • Simplicity is key. Mascara is always good and if using eye shadow, choose a brown or plum. This adds a little depth.
                                    • Use just enough lipstick to enhance your natural skin tone. Again, natural colours are best.
                                    • Dads clean shaven.
