If you want a timeless portrait that will still be stylish 25 years from now, here are a few things you can wear to achieve that goal!

​

Think about the colors you see in nature such as TANS, BLUES, GREENS, MAROONS, GREYS and work in those palettes. BLACK & WHITE is great too.  Our grounds range from natural to industrial so both lighter and darker colors are great.  Solid colors will almost always be your best choice and we generally avoid plaids or shirts with large patters; BUT, if you wear plaid all the time, if its your thing, bring it with you.  Just bring some non-plaid too.  Its important to select clothes that compliment your figure and style. 

​

Also great...LAYERS! 🧥  Jean jackets, sweaters, leather, scarfs even your plaid-these add dynamic interest and style. 

​

👗 Even if your arms are in-shape and toned, its generally best to steer clear of shirts/dresses with spaghetti straps, sleeveless tops or tube tops unless you absolutely love your arms.  If you really have your heart set on wearing a tank-like top (layered with a cute vest, a scarf, or a cool chunky necklace, for example), make absolutely sure you feel great in in and bring a cute little sweater or jacket for layering to vary the look.  Also, do your best to make sure your tops cover your tan lines!

​

👖 Jeans, pants, shorts or skirts that fit well are also very important.  Make sure pants and skirts/shorts are not too tight or too short - practice sitting on the floor in them to make sure you're comfortable and they aren't too revealing!   And don't forget about fun and coordinating accessories like belts, necklaces, earrings, scarves, and jackets. 👞 

​​​​

For your folks 👥... Be sure to bring something your parent(s) or Grandma loves to see you in (it will make them so happy and come on, its a small give on your part). 

​

For your school 🏫... Make sure you bring some things that adhere to your school's rules about clothing - we've seen some rules such as no hats, no spaghetti straps, no off-the-shoulder, or low-cut or sleeveless tops, and even no ripped jeans too.  🚫 You can certainly wear these items at your session, but we need to make sure we have images that will meet your yearbook requirements, too.

​

Arrive wearing your favorite, most comfortable, most flattering pair of jeans, and bring a variety of tops as as outlined above to go with them.  We have a portable changing booth so no problem changing while we are out and about.  Please remember to wear or bring booty shorts for the short stuff and don't forget to pack undergarments specific to the clothes your wearing (for instance, do you need a strapless or racerback bra?)
