KID’S PORTFOLIO STYLING


IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST:

Clothes MUST be on trend.

Clothes SHOULD be new.

WARDROBE

Put together 2-3 outfits for each of the styles you’re planning to shoot then we’ll narrow it down to the one that works best.

Keep the tags on all the outfits you buy so you can return what we don’t use.

  • Lifestyle/Casual: upscale school or everyday wear

  • Athleisure: weekend wear that’s a mix of athletic pieces and jeans, shorts, Vans, etc.

  • Dressy: party wear with muted organic colors and clean lines (avoid frills, tulle, sparkles, pastels and unicorns)

  • Athletic: Only if the kid is athletic; clothing (with props) should be sport specific

  • NO graphic T-shirts, full neon clothing (accents are OK) or large logos of any kind


ACCESSORIES

  • Watches

  • Friendship bracelets

  • Scarves

  • Gloves/mittens/ear muffs (seasonal only)

  • Socks

  • Shoes to go with the outfits. New shoes are best but, at minimum, they should be almost new, very clean, washed and/or polished. Types of shoes to bring include sandals, flip flops, Keds, Vans, Nike, adidas, etc.


HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • NO make-up on kids, except a super light dusting of translucent facial powder for shine per our guidance

  • NO concealer or spot foundation to cover a blemish or light scratches. We manage that in post-production.

    • If you have questions or concerns about marks on skin, please let us know.

  • Bring a brush for light eyebrow grooming

  • Bring hair products

  • Bring hair accessories

  • Plan on 2-3 different hairstyles, if possible

PROPS

Bring 2-3 options of their favorite things to do, that they love and have fun with: sporting equipment, leisure activities, etc.
