Colors to choose
Solid colors usually photograph the best and shades of red, blue, yellow, purple and green are pleasing. Please try not to permit your child to wear solid white!
Style to wear
Long sleeves usually photograph better then short sleeves. Sleeveless blouses or dresses should be avoided completely.
Hair Style and what to avoid
Try to avoid having your child's hair cut within one week of your scheduled picture day. Freshly cut hair, especially short hair, does not always lie just right. Avoid large bows or hair ribbons and if your child has long hair do not have it pulled back tightly.
By following these few guidelines you should be assured of a more pleasing and natural photograph of your child.
