How Should I prepare for my portrait? 

These are my personal tips on how to have a great Senior portrait. Pay attention and you will have nothing to worry about.  Shawn & Kelly Smoak will take all the worry out of your Senior portrait and replaces it with fun and excitement.

· Bring a variety of clothing styles to capture different facets of your personality.  Long sleeves are preferable with exceptions for sports uniforms, bathing suits, etc.
· Solid colors work best. Earth tones for more formal looks (tans, greens, blues) and whites and pastels for a softer look. Avoid busy patterns that distract from the face.
· Ladies, please no glitter make-up.  Only 2 or 3 flecks will catch light, and this requires retouching.
· Bring props that say something about you.
· A new hairstyle before your session is NOT recommended.
· If you wear eyeglasses, consider asking our optometrist for an empty pair of  "loaner frames."
· Avoid tan lines and sunburns. (These are almost impossible to retouch.)  We don't recommend tanning prior to your session.
· Bring a friend, or friends!
· Relax and have FUN!!  -  You'll walk away from the session wondering why you were so worried!
