Designing a Portrait session
Before your session, I will talk to you to custom design your session. In advance of this discussion, think about your interests and how you would want to be photographed. I enjoy getting creative with senior portrait sessions so please suggest locations or other ideas you may have so your portrait session will show your personality and interests. I try to ensure that every senior portrait session is different - just like every senior I photograph.
Clothing suggestions Keep it Simple:
YOU should be the main item of interest in your portrait, not your clothes. Therefore, keep a few things in mind when selecting your clothing. Have your clothes and accessories ready the night before your session. Select clothing that reflects your personality and style. Make certain your clothes are clean and free of wrinkles. Be aware of the number of clothing changes you are allowed in the session you have selected. For each outfit, put your accessories (including shoes) in a large ziplock bag and attach it to the hanger.
MAKE UP FOR GIRLS (AND GUYS)
It is recommended that everyone wear makeup to cover and minimize blemishes as well as powder to keep the shine off your face. Remember, a little goes a long way so don’t overdo it. Pay special attention to your eyes and lips. Darker pink lipsticks photograph better than a light pink lipstick. Do not wear lip gloss since it can make the lips look TOO SHINEY. Lips should look moist, not shiny. The lips should not look dry and cracked. AVOID GLITTER MAKEUP. Glitter appears as small white dots on your skin in a photograph. You will NOT like the way the glitter makeup appears in a photograph so do not use it!
HAIR CARE
Guys, let a new hair cut grow out for at least one week before your portrait session alowing time for any white tan lines to disappear. When you arrive for your session, please arrive with your hair styled and makeup competed. Bring your make-up for touchups during the session and between clothing changes.
GLASSES?
If you wear glasses all the time, you may want to wear them for your portraits. However, glare from the lights can ruin a portrait. Frequently, the glare is so prominent that you cannot see the individual’s eyes! To eliminate distracting glare and reflections, call your optician and arrange to either borrow a pair of empty frames like yours (with NO glass in them) or have the lenses removed from your own frames. Most opticians will do this for free if you give them a few days notice. If you choose to wear your glasses with the lenses in them and you see glare on the lenses in your final portraits, there is an additional charge to remove the glare in post processing.
HAIR
Please touch up your hair style after each clothing change. Bring a mirror, comb/brush and hairspray to your session for last minute touchups.
SUNTANS
It is important that you avoid spending too much time in the sun or the tanning both before your session. The use of self tanners will sometimes make you look orange due to the lighting used to create your portrait. In post processing, even if you have a very pale complexion, we will make you look more tanned but it’s almost impossible to fix a sunburned or peeling face. Tan lines from swimsuits or tank tops can be corrected in post processing but you will be charged an additional retouching fee. Suntans make your skin appear blotchy in a photograph. Peeling and dry skin shows in photographs and cannot be fixed in post processing.
ACNE
All portraits will be retouched before they are sent to the lab for printing. The proofs will not be retouched because retouching a single portrait can take 15-60 minutes. Please use a cover-up makeup on your blemishes to make them less noticeable.
FACIAL HAIR
Guys should remember to shave just before their session. Facial hair cannot be removed in post production. BRACES
If you are currently wearing braces, they are as much a part of you as your hairstyle or the clothes you wear. Don’t be self conscious about smiling. We can digitally remove your braces the your final portraits. However the price (per pose) for the removal of the upper braces is $45 and for the removal of both the upper and lower braces, the price is $85 per pose.
NAILS Girls:
PLEASE make certain your nail polish is in good repair. Get a manicure before your session or remove all traces of nail polish. Bright or dark colors of nail polish do NOT photograph well. Remember- we want your face to be the first thing that people look at when they see your photograph- NOT YOUR BRIGHT ORANGE NAIL POLISH. Your hands will be photographed during the portrait session so please make certain they are “camera ready.” If you are wearing sandals or flip flops the same goes for your toe nails- they will be seen!
Guys:
Please make certain your hands and nails are clean and free of any paint, oil, etc. Your hands will also be seen in the photograph. Nail polish and dirt from hands cannot be removed in post production.
Family portraits have an important role in building family history. They are a gift you give yourself, your children and generations to come. They tell the world how much you value your loved ones, and they grow more precious as time goes by. Great family portraits are a tradition with Cynthia McIntyre Photography. She has the knowledge and experience to create a portrait that will reflect the special qualities of your family. Take this opportunity to capture this time in your family's history..Take this opportunity to capture this time in your family's history.
