A - Choosing the right clothing is your  best preparation for creating a Beautiful Portrait! This may take you some time, but it is a very important investment in producing high quality Portraits.  If you need help, please call! 

In fine Portraiture, you want your viewer's eyes to look at your face. Your face should be brighter than your clothing and your clothing should not draw attention to itself.

1 - Choose solid darker colors. No white t-shirts. (Solid darker clothing makes us look slim.)

2 - Avoid stripes, patterns and plaids. Even a single stripe across a sweater will affect your portrait.

3 - No product logos like: Nike, etc.

4 - Wear shirts and blouses with long sleeves.

5 - Men and boys should wear dark socks and darker shoes. Leather looks best.

6 - Trim hair one to two weeks prior to your Timeless Portrait Session.

7 - Families should Coordinate Colors Carefully so that your solid colors blend in together. Blended colors suggests unity and family closeness. Contrasting colors are to be avoided.

	Q - How do I prepare for my child's Timeless Portrait Session?
A - Some children are morning people while others thrive at night. Schedule your child's Portrait Session during the time of day (or evening) when your child is at their best. Make sure your child is not hungry. Bring some juice and a small snack for them to enjoy during the session. Avoid snacks that might stain their clothing . . .  like chocolate. If your child is feeling even slightly under the weather, it is better to reschedule. See  You can have a Perfect Portrait

Q - When is my High School yearbook Portrait due?

A -Yearbook deadlines are usually in mid September, but deadlines vary from school to school. For the most precise information, I suggest that you call your yearbook department for the exact due date. In order to get your portraits to you in time to submit them to your yearbook staff, you must allow at least 10 working days from the time you place your order.

Q - How do I know which size is best for my home?

A - Imagine taking your family to the movie theatre to enjoy the latest and greatest film. You buy them a large popcorn, a little candy and a few large drinks. You walk into the theatre and find your family sitting in a nice cozy spot where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the movie.

Now imagine the dimming lights, a hush falling over the audience, but the movie is projected onto a measly 8" x 10" screen.

Wouldn't you feel ripped off?

Your Timeless Portraits should be large enough to be seen from anywhere in the room where you display your photographs. If you are sitting in your recliner chair at the farthest distance from your Portraits, you should be able to see the details of everyone's face clearly!

If you have to squint, it's too small !!

A - I travel to all 50 States.
