What to Wear

What to wear for your portrait session.

First and foremost wear clothing that represents your style and how you want the world to see you.  Keep in mind that the hottest trends of today may not be so trendy 15 or 20 years from now. Classic is always in style and will give a timeless value to your portrait.  For help on what colors to wear Click Here
