HELPFUL HINTS

What to wear:

We recommend business attire. Smart casual is OK if it is current and neat. Choose clothes...
... in which you feel good
... that are dark as opposed to light, and solid as opposed to patterned
... not too loud unless that is part of the image you wish to project (i.e. hats, bright ties, bright scarves etc.)
... that fit well, are not too tight and are certainly not loose or baggy.

For ladies, a light blouse under a dark jacket is very professional looking and for men, a white or light (i.e. powder blue) shirt under a dark (navy blue for example) sports or suit jacket.

It's your choice, your image. Hope this helps you in deciding what to wear.

Make Up:

Make up should be minimal. Men's haircut is best at one to two weeks old. Ladies, if the hairdresser is a regular pleasure, than by all means get your hair done. If not, don't worry. Your clients are more likely interested in a professional business portrait of you, not a glamour pose.

Retouching:

Standard retouching is included for each final pose at no additional cost. Typically, retouching, or as some like to say “air brushing”, includes removing blemishes, de-emphasizing (not removing) lines, shading double chins and/or “turkey” necks, whitening teeth, softening dark circles or “bags” around the eyes and adjusting the contrast where required. The objective is to embellish and bring out the beauty that is within.

Fee:

The above fees include a sitting, e-mailing all proofs to your business or home office for your selection plus one final retouched portrait, which is also e-mailed but at a higher resolution. Additional outfit changes including a second final retouched portrait is available at a nominal $ 25.00 cost should you wish more than the one final pose or outfit change. Team or group portraits are available at a modest price increase of $10.00 per person extra.

Proofs:

The final portrait is selected from a minimum of 10-12 poses/proofs that are e-mailed to you.
