Family and Senior Portrait Clothing Guidelines
Clothing Guidelines…
Remember the viewer's eye will travel to the lightest and brightest element in the portrait. We want that to be your face.
Family Guide Lines
Dress the family as you would a single person.
All clothing from the waist down should be the same color.
All clothing from the waist up should be the same color or lighter than the waist down color.
Avoid Plaids, Stripes an Prints.

Senior Portraits or Teen Portraits.
Beach Portraits are fun and are best done in the early morning, early evening just before sunset
or on overcast days. Avoid Plaids, Strips and Prints. Gals: Short Sleeve tops are more flattering than sleeveless tops.
Personal props are always welcome.
