How Do I Prepare for Portrait Day?

First and foremost, get plenty of rest the night before your photo shoot. Well rested people photograph better and are more likely to enjoy the experience. Professional hair styles and make up are not a requirement, but definitely recommended. A mirror will be provided, however please make sure to pack a comb, brush, and or make up for last minutes touch ups before you step in front of the camera. No particular attire is required, but please be mindful of your organization’s dress code and dress accordingly. Retouching will be minimal so it is VERY important you are happy with your look upon arrival.
