Clothing Tips

You clothing should reflect you. Decide on a basic theme or look…casual, semi-casual or formal.

Use common sense.
If you don’t want to show bellies, bums or arms, cover them up. Easy peasy….

Here are some ideas to consider:

  • Although the all black or all white, jeans or otherwise is very popular, don’t be afraid to jazz it up a little with cool fashions, accessories and colours. However, try to avoid looking like a referee (big stripes…vertical or horizontal
  • With children you can break the rules a little more, dress them up in more patterns and such.
  • Our Pinterest page HERE is a great resource for ideas on clothing tips

3 BIG NO-NO’s WHEN PLANNING FOR A PORTRAIT SESSION:

  1. Photo grey glasses. You know, the ones that get darker when you’re outside. To the point where you look like you’re in a matrix movie. DO wear glasses. Don’t say: “Let’s take them off for the session.” Because you won’t look right without your glasses. Find some matching glasses that aren’t photo greys, or, pop out the lenses or chat with your eye doc. They may lend you a temporary pair.
  2. New hair cuts or different hair styles. Freshly cut hair looks just that, freshly cut. Cut hair at least 3 days prior. This doesn’t apply to going to your hair stylist for a regular visit of something tried and true. New, or radically different hair styles are not a good idea either.
  3. Loud colours, patterns, short sleeves, big ol’ running shoes….If you ask yourself “I wonder if this will show in the photo?” Likely it will. Includes loud colours, patterns (oversized houndstooth is a good example). Short sleeves that reveal all your ams, or tight pants that emphasize hips and tight tops that do the same for bellies. This rule applies to make-up as well. Stick with tried and true and a look or styles that you know you look good and feel good in.

My daughter… a new phase coming in her life

May 26, 2013 By robprov Leave a Comment

I jokingly refer to this time in her life as Danielle 3.0…1.0 being her childhood phase, “pre-school”….2.0 being school up until grade 12…..and 3.0, next phase, university and all the fun, excitement, adventures and learning….Her grad photo, well, one fun version…and some non grad shots, including a quick biz card I created for a possible […]

Another back yard pop up wedding with pizza…

Krista and Mark had great weather, and a tent in case of rain. With about 35 guests in attendance and her parents backyard, they wanted casual, relaxed and easy going. Tina was the wedding officiant and yours truly the wedding photographer.

Super Tina

She helps me out on most sessions, making sure the light, or her, doesn’t go flying away in the wind….and making sure the subjects are looking good, nothing out of place with hair, collars and such….look at that stance! Epic VALS… VALS= voice activated light stand 🙂
