Make Up A Natural Look

Lips

Lips look great with a subtle sheen but shouldn’t appear wet. In your portrait, stick with a matte lipstick or low-sheen gloss.

Your lipstick should add contrast to the lips and a pop of colour to the photograph.

Skin

The day of your shoot, don't be tempted to over apply makeup. We recommend that you wear the same amount of make-up as usual or even slightly less. Bring your makeup to the shoot with you in case you need to do touch ups.

Our enhanced editing will remove hard to conceal blemishes so don't worry about last minute scratches or bruises or a nasty pimple. Our enhancements will "polish" your skin.

Clothing and accessories

Co-ordinating Groups

If doing a family portrait, you’ll want to coordinate everyone’s clothing to avoid a visual train wreck of clashing patterns and colours.

Matching outfits are a nice idea, as is a more subtle, coordinating colour theme. Choose individual pieces that go well together in a specific colour palette.

Jewelery and Accessories

Simple is best. The accessories and jewelry should flatter the subject, not demand attention. Unless it is essential in the portrait, it's something you wear all the time, or has special meaning, leave it out. If it is important to you or plays an integral part of your life, talk with your photographer about how to include it in some of your portraits.
