Individual and Family Portraits
All homes should display a fine family portrait in a prominent location. The family portrait should not be a simple recording of faces, but rather a reminder of the emotions we feel for each other. Even after the children leave the house, the laughter and memories will still be remembered.

Pointers on dressing for portraits
• Simplicity is key.
• Solid colors are best. Avoid bold or large patterns and bright colors. They take attention away from the face.
• Long sleeves shirts and dresses are recommended. They also focus the attention on the face. Short sleeves are okay for infants and small children.
• In case the photographer decides to portray you in a full length pose, coordinate your attire from head to toe. Be careful when choosing appropriate shoes and stockings.
• Light clothing tends to maximize body size while darker tones tend to minimize size.
• Necklines are always important. A vee-scoop neckline is good if you have a full face and a short neck. A turtleneck or a high neck garment is flattering if you have a longer neck and slender face.
• Everyone should dress in the same style clothing. Do not mix formal and casual attire.
• Do not mix light and dark clothing. Try to keep the tonal range of clothes within the same group.
• It is best to bring several additional choices of clothing to assure a successful portrait.
