a.) If you can, try to stick with a solid color and avoid wearing patterns, stripes, large logos or prints. There are times when I have even gone against this rule and selected a plaid shirt for my son and a flowered dress for my daughter, however - when you can, try to stick to the solids. It is usually less distracting and when wearing solids you have the opportunity to change backgrounds without any distortion. And if you would like, when in doubt, just ask your Photographer for their recommendations. Of course, this is about you and your uniqueness, so definitely do what you feel is best! These photos are your own memories, moments, & milestones to remember!

b.) Consider the possibility of having your hair, make-up, and nails done when getting ready for your photo shoot. Simple and natural is recommended, however, depending on the type of portrait you are looking for - this will vary. Hair should be kept out of your eyes, no hair ties or scrunchies on the wrist, and please make sure your nail polish is not chipped. If you need some guidance on professional hair and make-up stylists in the area, please feel free to reach out for suggestions.

c.) If you wear glasses, it is up to you on whether you prefer to wear glasses or not for the session. If you do choose to wear glasses, usually non-reflective and non-transition glasses are preferred, however what makes you feel comfortable is best. 

d.) Accessories Tip: Simple, is preferred for a more natural look. This could change depending on the location and event you are capturing. If you are booking a session for your child(ren) then consider bringing some accessories like sunglasses, hats, or a favorite blanket to use during the shoot. These items can bring character and personality to your photos.
