Summer is here and this is the time for senior portraits!  Come in during the summer for your senior  pics so we will have plenty of time to plan your session and lots of daylight.  Having your portraits taken during the summer also enables you to take advantage of any discounts available.  These discounts are only available before school starts back.  Check with the studio or your school's spokesmodels to find out about these discounts!

Clothing tips:

• Think about having one of your outfit selections repeat your eye color.  Navy and gray are popular colors, but tend to photograph a bit dull.  Look for stronger, richer colors.
• Have at least 1 or 2 outfits with long or medium sleeves unless you want to feature your armpits and elbows.
• Darker clothing, especially pants make you look slimmer.  Avoid horizontal strips!!!  Shoes with heel will lift and slim.
• Shorts show a lot of leg and plaid can add bulk.  Short sleeves emphasize the upper arm.

• Bring an outfit that is classic that won't be outdated soon.  Bring an outfit that makes a statement about you and your style. Bring something that has fall colors in it for outdoor shots.

Make-up tips:

• Use both SPF free moisturizer and foundation to prevent reflection and to enhance skin's natural glow.  Use a translucent powder to set.
• Well groomed eyebrows are a must.  Enhance eyelashes with a BLACK waterproof mascara.  dark brown eyeliner is a natural alternative to heavy black eyeliner and compliments all light shimmery eye shadows.
• Don't be afraid to have a little color on the apples of the cheekbones(petal pink).  It will really brighten up the appearance of the face.
• Use glossy shiny color on the lips!  Lips are best in reds, berries and browns.  No frosty pink.  Buy glosses in any berry color.
