The following tips will help with making your session a successful one:

1. •Avoid large or bold patterns - solid colors are best (prints and patterns draw the eye away from the face).
   

2. •Wear colors that compliment you.
   

3. •Be comfortable.
   

4. •Darker shades are slimming.
   

5. •Don’t try a new hairstyle just before your session.
   

6. •Don’t worry about skin conditions.
   

7. •Keep makeup fresh and natural.  You can use a little more than normal, but not enough to distract anyone away from the eyes.  Pay special attention to eyeliner (not too heavy).
   

8. •Avoid exposure to the sun at least three days before your session.
   

9. •Keep accessories simple.
   

10. •Bring props, for example musical instruments or pets.
    

11. •Smile, relax, and have fun!
