Wardrobe

To keep the focus on you and your loved ones in the portraits, here are a few suggestions:

​

Simplicity is always best for timeless portraits. Avoid bold patterns or stripes.

 

Start with solid color pieces and then add neutral or complimentary colors. Off whites, grays and beiges look good with any setting. Add texture in form of accessories or the outfit itself. Examples are knitted woolens, khakis, denims or frills.​

​

Studio also offers a beautiful selection of threads and accessories for your session.

Hair & Makeup

Authentic you is what we are going for. Think of it as if you are going for a friend's wedding. So, go for professional hair and makeup if that's what makes you comfortable, or do it yourself just for a polished look or even some lip balm and moisturizer is perfect too! Whatever you feel is best for YOU!
