.................................................................................................................................................................... Make-UpProperly applied make-up will greatly enhance your appearance, particularly in the many photographs which will be taken in the course of the day. On the other hand, too much makeup, the wrong makeup, or improperly applied makeup can have the opposite effect. Heavy eyeliner or heavy false eyelashes will cast unwanted shadows over your eyes and cheeks. No make-up may result in a washed out appearance. Ideally, your make-up should enhance your beautiful features without its presence being apparent. .................................................................................................................................................................... Portraits
When selecting clothing for portrait sessions, consider solid colors over patterns because patterns detract from facial features and expressions. For family groups, consider coordinating clothing. All family members in jeans, and white shirts; or jeans and earth tone shirts of different shades. For prenatal shoots, a button down shirt works well for the belly to hang out, or pieces of shiny fabric to drape over you. Please let the photographer know for prenatal shoots if you prefer a more conservative or less conservative photo shoot. Portraits should be booked at least 1 week in advance. September to December are very busy months because of the holidays approaching, so more notice may be needed during those months. .................................................................................................................................................................... Weddings
When planning for the family and formals pictures on your wedding day, be sure to leave at least 2-3 hours. It's always best to have a little bit of extra time to be able to take a breather before the reception, than having to hurry to fit everything in. Also take into consideration the number of locations requested, and the driving time in between them. Extra driving time cuts into the shooting time, and should be arranged into the day's schedule. The best wedding pictures are taken when the bride and groom and relaxed, having fun, and are excited about the picture taking process. Everyone wants great pictures, but some people do not correspond what is required of them on the day of the wedding with the final outcome of the pictures. During the shoot, listen intently to the photographer, share your ideas, be romantic, and have fun with the people closest to you. Be sure your wedding party knows that the pictures are very important to you, and you would love for them to have fun with you and to be as cooperative as possible. The special kids in your life can be a great part of your wedding day and are very cute walking down the aisle. If you have kids in your wedding party and want formal pictures with them, consider having them come to the formals only for a short while and have someone there who can take them when their portion is finished. .................................................................................................................................................................... | ||
