For a Slimmer Look . . .
- Outfits which divide the body vertically, have open neck lines, fit well through your midsection and in the shoulders.
- It is often a good idea to avoid horizontal strips and heavy fabrics.
- Low contrast horizontal stripes and heavy fabrics can work for those with small upper bodies.
Hair, Your Style . . .
- Avoid new hair styles, new hair cuts and hair styles which obscure your eyes.
- Guys, a close shave or freshly trimmed facial hair.
- Use a high protein conditioner and a light cream styler to smooth and control frizzy hair.
- We often use an " anti frizz polishing milk " in the studio.
Makeup Tips . . .
- Makeup; soft, natural, light.
- Our lighting & imaging systems are designed to eliminate low color saturation issues, often associated with portrait photography.
Photo Retouching . . .

Attire, Neck Lines . . .
