Clothing Tips

NOTE: we create beautiful physical art prints and albums. We are not in the business of selling digital files. When you have physical art pieces you’re creating long lasting memories that will be enjoyed, seen and shared for generations.
You will however receive a social media file from each image you order.

You clothing should reflect you. Decide on a basic theme or look…casual, semi-casual or formal. If you like, grab a snapshot of your clothing ideas with your phone and email or text it to us. 705 566 0111 or westmount@bellnet.ca

Likewise, if you have a wall in your home that you are considering to hang a portrait on, grab a snap and send it to us.

Some easy ideas… If you don’t want to show bellies, bums or arms, cover them up.

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.

Email us with your ideas and thoughts….
we’d love to hear them westmount@bellnet.ca

Medieval portraits are cool, and shot in the style of Game Of Thrones…I think…

This dude, the little guy, was in the studio a few weeks ago with his older sister, who came in on fairy day. I shot some brother, sister poses, dressing him in a hobbit-style outfit. The mom wanted to bring her husband and son in, with their dog, creating a badass medieval look. Someone mentioned […]

Have another espresso…

December 3, 2013 By robprov Leave a Comment

I jokingly say “have another espresso” when shooting, chasing, doing my best to capture images of little people. This little dude, 18 months old, started out very, very shy…and then wham….the caffeine kicked in or something. He was all over…I think he stopped for one one thousands of a second…

Tamarindo, Costa Rica under the stars….some night photography

January 16, 2017 By robprov Leave a Comment

Tamarindo Beach looks stunning during the day when the sun and waves are out under full sun…under a full moon and a dark sky some of the stars, and planets/moon add a whole new dimension…
