BLACK AND WHITE

We recommend darker, more casual, earthy clothing like jeans and sweatshirts or other solid colored clothing. Don’t worry about bringing a black an white outfit, because all colors will appear, black, white or a gray tone in between. The darker tones look best.

The Family Portrait

Family groupings are done in your home or at a outdoor location. We want your family to look natural an relaxed for this reason we do not recommend in studio family groupings of more then 3 people. Good locations are those where you spend family time. Your home, cottage, the beach or on the family boat are some suggestions.

Clothing preparation for groups is of major concern. Solids are highly recommended. Prints and patterns distract and can clash with patterns worn by another family member. The best advice is to think of the entire families' apparel as one outfit. Meaning, don’t put a print or color on another family member that you would not add to your own outfit. Everyone’s clothing should blend and go together. If you need assistance in this are we’re more then happy to help out. And a little planning here will result in a far superior final product.

Also take into consideration the room where the portrait will hang. It’s best to wear colors that will complement the décor of the room. If the intended room is decorated in pastels or other light colors. Keep your clothing light as well. And use a light frame. If the portrait is planned to hang in a darker situation, such as den, library or above a heavily wooded dire-place mantle. Then select clothing in the darker shades such as burgundy, plum, deep greens and navy. Khaki works well with light and dark colors. Having the portrait taken in the room where it will hang is a wonderful idea, the colors of the room will be reflected in the portrait!

Over the years we have noticed that our brides all have such diverse personal tastes when it comes to the creation of their wedding albums.

Because of this we decided to not include the albums. We left it to be a la carte menu, this allowed us to reduce our package prices and offer more competitive prices for everyone while allowing the bride to choose her own type of album and create her own style of wedding portfolio. If  you would like us to design your album, we will work with you in selecting and enhancing your favorite images and unique accents in order to come up with a breath taking memory of your very special day.
