A
word about hair and makeup. Hair and makeup together have a crucial
impact on your final look, and can be the difference between taking home
a breathtaking photograph or one that is just OK.
Female
clients are highly encouraged to come to the session
with professional level makeup applied. Some people can do their own
makeup and make it look fantastic. Others cannot.
Generally
I don't recommend makeup whatsoever for children under about nine
years of age, unless the shoot is for a pageant or competition.
When
doing makeup for Portrait sessions be sure to apply a bit heavier than normal. This is because the
camera does not pick up makeup in the same way that the human eye does,
and because makeup can many times become somewhat muted in the post
processing of your images.
Remember
that hair is just as important as makeup. Perhaps even more so.
As with makeup, if you can do your own hair and make it look superb that
is fantastic. If not you will want to have your hair professionally
styled before arriving at your session.
If you are unsure where to go for your hair and makeup I suggest Ulta as they can do both hair and makeup for a very reasonable price and we have had good luck with their services for our clients.
Alternatively if you can do your own hair and you only need makeup you can contact Merle Norman in Dothan.
I offer this information as a personal recommendation only as I am not affiliated with Ulta or Merle Norman and I earn no commission or referral should you decide to use their services.
