1. Sleep! Make sure you get at least 2 nights of good sleep before your photo session so that you will look
 fresh and won't have bags under your eyes. Beauty sleep is real....

2. Hair Care. Guys, let a new hair cut grow out for at least a week before your pictures, allowing time for any
white tan lines to disappear. Also, take the time to get a close shave. Girls, if you plan on coloring your hair
or getting a new style, also allow at least a week to get used to the style.

3. Clothes. Have your clothes and accessories ready the night before your shoot. Choose clothes that reflect your
style and the changing seasons(summer - fall) Make sure they are clean and free of wrinkles. 

4. Make-up. Girls bring your make-up, hair spray and curling iron to do touch ups. Make sure that your face
make-up is blended into your neck so that when you look in the mirror your neck is not too white. 
Also check to see if you have tan lines that will show  with the different outfits you are going to wear. Bring
chapstick or lip gloss to keep your lips moist.

5. Blemishes. We offer retouching. Don't worry... your final prints will look great! Girls, don’t use too much
make-up trying to hide blemishes. It will be easier for us to retouch your prints if you keep a more natural look

6. Smile. We will take your portrait with and without you smiling. If you wear braces and don't like them, ask
 us have them digitally removed. If you don't like your smile, get in front of a mirror and practice it. Once you
like a smile, close your eyes and smile, then open your eyes to see if it looks the way you want. Get used to
how it feels to smile the way you think you look best. 

7. Personality. Bring something that reflects your personality, talents or hobbies, such as musical
instruments, sports equipment, pets awards, etc. Having your picture taken with what you enjoy will
create unique portraits. We will go on location, or favorite spot.

8. Bring a friend. It can be really fun to have your pictures taken at the same time as your friend. We make
extra wallets for you and your friend.

9. Finishing touches. Guys, make sure your fingernails are nicely trimmed. Girls, pamper yourself with
a manicure and pedicure the day before.  Most of all  RELAX and HAVE FUN!!!
