Make s ure all your outfits are complete, meaning you should dress from head to toe!

UNDERGARMENTS: It may seem obvious, but in the preparation process they are sometimes overlooked. Undergarments must be the right shape and shade for each outfit! Shear clothing can show panty lines, especially when the light hits them just right! (You know what we mean!)

MAKEUP: (Read this even if you don’ t wear it ) Most senior women do a nice job applying ma keup for every day wear. Your face should look as if it is prom night! Even if you don’t wear much/any make - up, we strongly recommend that you bring and apply: a mat foundation, translucent powder to reduce shine; a light lip color, a little eye shadow and a healthy coat of mascara.

SKIN: Shine is a problem that shows in pictures, th e reason for TRANSLUCENT POWDER which reduces the oils on your skin. Also remember, too much sun darkens skin unnaturally, dries hair, shows bags under the eyes, and makes skin appear shiny. Tan lines and sunburn cannot be fixed. They will show in the finished portraits.

HANDS: Make sure your hands and nails look good. Old, chipped nail polish should be removed if you are unable to get a manicure. Apply a clear coat of polish and use hand lotion just before you are photographed. Even if they’re not your “best” feature, you cannot escape the fact that they are noticeably attached to the end of your arms and will show in portraits from time to time. Remember, if you pai nt your nails, do your toes too. You may do some barefoot poses and you’ll want your hands and feet to match.

HAIR: If you plan to have a haircut, schedule it about three weeks prior to your session. This will give you time for it to lose that “just cu t” look, and if it’s not a cut you like, you’ll have enough time to reschedule without losing your reservation fee. If you color your hair, don’t forget that roots do show. You may want to retouch those as well.

GLASSES: Glasses can cause glare, distor tions and magnifications that cannot be fixed. You may ask your optician to remove your lenses for the session, or to lend you a pair of the same frames without the lenses in them just for the session.

ATTITUDE: R E L A X ! ! You’re going to love th is! It’s a one - time deal! So leave your worries at home & be prepared to enjoy the experience. Don’t hesitate to call with any questions you have. We need you to be a positive part of the creation process! We can’t do it without you !!!
