Headshot Clothing

SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR HEADSHOT SESSION

Kids: Basically, come in a pair of jeans and bring several different tops. The tops should be solid, bright colors (no white or black).

What to wear

Clothing that is cleaned, pressed, ironed, wrinkle-free, looks like you just bought it
Solid colors
Bright colors
Earth tones
Overalls for kids under 7
Barrettes and clips for hair (nothing sparkly or colorful - it should not be noticeable in hair)
Hair rubber bands, hairbrush, hairspray
Makeup (keep it natural!): Lipstick, mascara, eyeshadow. Stay away from bright pinks, purples, greens (if you are participating in Headshot Day, a hair/makeup stylist will be available to do basic hair/mkup)
Overall, go for the "all-American" GAP look -- you should look like you just stepped out of a MACY's catalog or a JIFFY peanut butter commercial, for example
Clothing from The Children's Place, Limited Too, Gap, Old Navy and Kohls work the best.
Tip: Buy an outfit for the photo shoot, but keep the tags on - return it when you're done!
Don't worry about shoes - you won't see them:)

What not to wear

No solid black
No solid white
No gray, beige, cream or dull colors
No busy patterns
No logos (unless they are subtle)
No turtlenecks
Nothing that will distract from your face (skinny stripes aren't so great either)
Nothing trendy
No dance tops or glittery tops
