This artwork will be treasured for a lifetime and beyond – we hope your great grandkids will cherish it!
Since these are very special portraits that are designed to be heirloom pieces, we request you come in formal attire or at least clothing that is classic and less likely to go out of style. Choose timeless clothing with character, personality, and style.
Likely, you will have dozens or more pictures in a casual setting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something just a little different. If you dress too casually, it’s just going to clash with our goal, very similar to walking into a 5 star restaurant in shorts; it will just feel out of place.
For most clients, their natural makeup and hair styles work best, and it’s not necessary to see a makeup artist prior to your session.
Choose clothing carefully considering the tones!

• Clothing with bright white elements are a distraction in a black and white portrait.
• Avoid busy patterns, stripes, and clothing with words, logos or pictures.
• Polo/golf style shirts and casual cotton pants should be left at home.
• Don’t forget to apply common sense to your outfits.
• Everybody should NOT wear the same thing.
• You can’t fix clothing that doesn’t fit by rolling up the sleeves.
