Wardrobe Tips

• Kids and tweens up to age 13 should look as natural as possible with no makeup minimal hair styling and simple clothing. Teens over 13 can wear light makeup to even out skin tone or cover blemishes but it should still look natural and not overly done

• For headshots necklines and color choices make a big impact. Bright colors are great for a commercial look while darker tones work well for a more serious or theatrical feel. V-necks scoop necks and crew necks help frame the face and give a nice length to the neckline. Try to avoid turtlenecks or high neck tops since they can shorten the neck in photos

• Layers add great texture and interest. Light jackets denim flannels sweatshirts and layered shirts are all good options. Make sure clothes fit well because anything too loose or bulky won’t look flattering in photos

• Stick to solid colors instead of patterns and avoid neon shades or bright reds. Choose colors that complement your child's skin tone and help bring out their eyes

• If certain outfits need specific undergarments be sure to bring them along. Accessories should be simple and minimal. If you want to include glasses in some shots it's best to use frames without lenses or non prescription glasses since certain lenses can distort the eyes on camera

• Lastly bring a variety of outfits so we can mix and match to create a great range of looks
