What to wear |
|
I have put together some ideas of what to bring to get the most out of one of my makeover sessions. However, there is no hard and fast rule. In fact I do not want you to take what I say as gospel but more as lip service. It is important to keep your personality. At this point I should point out that if you are under 16 please make sure your outfits however exciting are relative to your age.
I normally like about six outfits although four will do. Most of my sessions will normally start in a room scene which I call training ground. A few shots to warm you up. This calls for a smart outfit. A posh black “slinky” will do, although if you want to go more “glam”, a posh ball gown is also good.

| The next setting is based on a plain white backdrop. Lets go casual.. “girl next door” approach. Jeans and white top is a good outfit, although again this can be varied a lot, but keep it casual. Light heels are good for body structure as most of this part of the session is floor based. |

Still on the white backdrop, a change of lighting and an introduction of a posh prop or two, cue another posh frock. Something light and flowey and feminine. If you would like a little spice to your session, a top that has lace can give a boudoir look on some of the floor based shots (not for the under 16’s).
|
The next part of the session allows for a couple of outfits that you really want to use. Just put two in your case that are different and I will respond with settings to suit. |

Finally lets go to black… call the setting disco or night club. “Black Spangley” or what you would wear to the evening reception at a wedding.
Any arm or tum issues … your outfits should take this into account. |
 |
| Heels… High heels give you shape and lift, they normally flatter the figure. I recommend that you use them. At least one light pair and one dark pair. Other colours if you want |
Underwear… Whatever your age, If you don’t want to see the underwear keep it right. You don’t want to see a black bra through a white top. Non see through black…. non see thorough white … one strapless if needed. Plastic straps are best avoided!

Props … Hats.. belts.. all add your personality to a session.
Jewellery… Your girls! Don’t forget the jewellery!
In studio you will also find a selection of outfits and props to add to your experience. |

Mother and Daughter Sessions. All of the above guidelines apply but do remember to make sure that at least three outfits go together. Be warned, I photograph you both as individuals as well as together.
Under 16’s should bring outfits to suit their age
BRING MORE THAN YOU NEED…. And enjoy putting it together …… |
