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
