prep for your session

          

hair, everyone

  • Cut/Style hair the way you would wear it for an important audition or agent interview.
  • Use hairspray / gel to keep hairs in place and to stop it from frizzing.

makeup, women

  • Neutral tones, with a soft and pretty finish are best.
  • No heavy mascara or eyeliner.
  • No bright colored eye shadows.
  • Natural colored lip gloss to add some polish.
  • Have your eyebrows shaped to suit your face.  Go to a professional salon to have this done unless you have a very steady hand, a very sharp eye or a friend who is good at shaping eyebrows.
  • Simple manicured nails are best.  Clear or nude polish, or French manicure.

makeup, men

  • A little under-eye concealer for dark circles, and translucent powder to prevent shiny skin is usually all that is needed for male skin.
  • Avoid glossy lips.
  • Eyebrow shaping should be done conservatively unless your brows are extremely thick / bushy or if you have a unibrow, but don't over do it.
  • Simple manicure w/clean cuticles.  A mild buff is okay.  Clear polish usually looks bad.

wardrobe, everyone

  • Please bring choices to your session.
  • Solid colors that compliment your hair, skin tone and eyes are best.
  • Don't just show up with all black.  It is not the most flattering color for photographs, and if you have dark hair, wearing a black top will make your photo look like a floating head.
  • Subtle textures can sometimes be a good choice -- especially for men.
  • Avoid busy patterns, (designer) logos and colors that overpower you.
  • A simple necklace and small earrings (i.e. diamond studs) would be fine for women, but please try to avoid watches and rings.
  • In some cases a simple necklace is okay for men, but please try to avoid watches and rings.
  • Keep your outfits simple.  Your wardrobe should not distract from your face.
