How to get ready for a portrait session

What to wear, what to bring and how to relax — so the pictures look like you.

A good portrait is mostly a comfortable person. A little preparation makes that easy.

Wear what you already feel good in

Plain, well-fitting clothes in solid colours usually photograph best. Bring a second option; it costs nothing and gives us a choice. Avoid large logos and very busy patterns.

Sleep, water and time

Rest and a glass of water do more than any product. Arrive ten minutes early so you are not rushing.

Tell us what it is for

A CV headshot, a family wall or a website need different frames. If you have pictures you like, bring them as references.

During the session

You do not need to know how to pose. We direct you, and we show you a few frames as we go so you can relax.
