| Photography by Fran Klotz wants to insure that
you will have a great Senior Portrait Session with results you love. |
Some "things" to keep in mind.
|
 | A deposit in the amount of the session fee is required at the
senior portrait session. Please arrange to bring it with you. |
|
| If you plan to use any coupons or special promotional offers,
please bring them to the portrait session. |
|
| Please arrive at your session on time. We recommend arriving a few
minutes early so that you are more relaxed when the session begins.
It will also give you some time to look at portraits in the studio
for ideas that can be tailored for your session. |
|
| Feel free to bring extra outfits along if you aren't sure how they
will photograph. We will gladly assist you. Also, bring some
clothing that is more formal and some that is more casual or
reflects your personal style. |
|
| Do you have some specific ideas for your senior portraits? Bring
along samples to show us what you have in mind. Bring any props you
think would be fun or express your individuality. Think of locations
you might want to go to during your session. |
|
|
| "What should I wear?" is
a question we frequently hear. The following is a list of recommendations
based on our experience. |
| To look as slender as you are in real life, avoid horizontal lines
and avoid wearing white (except for high-key white on white ideas).
Instead, wear long sleeves and dark colors. |
|
| Avoid too "summery" of a look for all your poses. Avoid
sleeveless clothing. |
|
| Bring at least one outfit that is formal (like a sweater, dress,
shirt and tie, suit, etc.) to create a classic and timeless portrait…
(The kind that keep parents happy.) |
|
| Choose colors that compliment your skin tone as well as your
personality. |
|
| Remember to dress from head to toe. Don't forget accessories like
socks, belts, shoes or jewelry. |
|
| For outdoor sessions, casual clothing works well. Choose colors
that you see in nature like greens, blues, browns, rose, burgundy or
violet. Avoid black or white. |
|
|
| Other tips you might find useful. |
| Don't fret about blemishes. With the miracle of retouching we can
usually make them disappear. |
|
| Avoid getting a sunburn before your session. Sunburns cannot be
retouched. |
|
| Details are important. Be sure that wrinkles are pressed out of
clothing and that your finger nails are clean and trimmed. |
|
| Consider bringing along translucent powder to eliminate facial
shine. |
|
| Avoid a brand new hairstyle or haircut. You won't look like you.
Also, be sure to have your hair ready when you arrive at the studio so
you will only need a quick touch-up before the session. |
|
| If you wear glasses, consider taking the lenses out of your frames
for your session. Lenses cause distortion to your facial features and
frequently glare from lighting. |
|
| Even for a "natural" look, please consider wearing some
makeup to even out skin tones and draw attention to important features
like eyes and lips. |
