THE FOUR BIGGEST REASONS FOR RETAKES

1. Haircut- It is not a good idea to get a fresh haircut or change your hairstyle to day of your portrait. For men, it is best to get your haircut a week before your scheduled portrait so it has time to grow out. For women, it is best to wear your hair the way you normally do, making a drastic change the day of your portrait usually leads to a retake.
   
   
2. For Men Only- Please make sure you have a clean shave. While we can do a lot with digital touch up, removing a five o’clock shadow is almost impossible and will most likely require a retake.
   
   
3. Wrinkles- One of the biggest reasons for retakes are wrinkled clothing. Wrinkles are magnified in your portrait. It is best to plan out your outfit (s) and make sure it is wrinkle free the night before your portrait.
   
   
4. Women Only- This is by far the biggest reason for a retake on women. We know its summer, but wearing sleeveless or tank tops is not attractive in your portrait. It tends to make your arms look bigger than they actually are.
