What to bring
Wardrobe is one of the most important aspects of the photo shoot, so please take the time to bring the appropriate things with you. My stylist will help to coordinate what you bring but please read the info below for more details. Please make sure all clothes are pressed and folded carefully or brought in a garment bag.
Actors
For actor headshots, please bring at least 4-6 options to choose from. Keep in mind colors that work well with your skin tone, hair color and eye color. Deep saturated and mid-tone colors work the best, stay away from colors that are too light or white. Take a look at my actor gallery for more ideas. For pants, a great pair of jeans is fine.
Child/Teen Models
Think fun, cool, stylish clothing like Target, Gap, Old Navy and H&M. Everything should be colorful and small patterns, and prints are fine. We like to do layered looks so; please bring 10-12 pieces of clothing to choose from such as; jeans, skirts, pants, shorts, sweater vests, t-shirts, dresses, blazers for boys, funky graphic t-shirts and more. Also bring accessories like hats, scarves, etc. and different types of shoes. For boys, please bring clothing that represents their actual size and is not too baggy. Bright colored Converse High tops are also a great addition for boys or girls. Also keep in mind the weather, if we are going to be shooting outside and it is chilly, you may want to bring some thermals to wear underneath.
As far as hair goes, please come with your hair or child’s hair already in a simple style. If you have specific products, you like to use you can bring them as well.
We prefer that you come to the shoot with only your child, but no more than one other person (children included).
Adult Models
If your agency has specific recommendations, please bring that to our attention before your photo shoot. In general, try to bring a range of different looks from casual to upscale. Please bring at least 10-12 different pieces of clothing to choose from such as jeans, skirts, slacks, shorts, sweater vests, t-shirts, dresses, blazers, t-shirts and more. Also bring accessories like hats, scarves, etc. and different types of shoes.
