How long will my portrait session last?
Each session is approximately 1 hour. That includes your time to change into your dress and accessories, and the actual photoshoot.
Do you provide gentlemen with a wardrobe?
No. Men are encouraged to come dressed in a suit or tux. No attire or wardrobe will be provided. This is all about the dress. 😉
What should I wear to the photoshoot?
Ladies: Please come dressed comfortably in something that is easy to get out of, for example, a maxi dress.
Gentlemen: a nice suit or tux of your color choice; dress shoes recommended
What should I not wear to the photoshoot?
Please refrain from wearing body oil, perfumes or any other products that can stain our dresses. Clear deodorant is recommended. Wearing oil-free lotion is suggested.
How should I wear my hair?
You are welcomed to wear your hair as you wish. We recommend that you opt for an "up and away" hairstyle. Tie it in a gorgeous updo and show off your beautiful face and neckline.
What type of shoe should I wear with the dress?
Our dresses have a lot of volume-- that's what makes them so grand in the pictures! We recommend wearing a high heel. While we want you to keep safety and comfort at the forefront of your mind, we encourage you to refrain from flats, wedges and other shoes you would not wear with a formal gown. (see example shoes below)
What type of undergarments should I wear under the dress?
Our dresses have a high split and a deep neckline. We ask that you wear underwear that will not be visible in your portraits (see example garments below). Please be sure to bring your backless bra or breast tape of your preference.
