Free West Style Guide
The DOs
- Wear Earthy tones in the color charts of autumn, deep summer and deep winter, as they translate well with our editing style.
- Utilize the client closet and ask Ash photographer for advice on your chosen outfits
- Match your loved ones within palettes, but not exactly the same outfits is ideal
- Dress for the weather
- If tanning, go with a more natural tan or if you get a spray get it within 3 days of shoot (be careful with spray tans, if it is inconsistent or has not settled, editing the multiple tones can be quite difficult)
- Fill your lashes or access the MUA
- Nails painted (just for ring or up close hand photos)
- Lint roll all dark or black clothing or bring a roller to your session
- If you have an in-home session where you plan to use a specific wall for a backdrop, it will speed up the editing process to clean the wall
Avoid
- Coming to any photoshoot sick or recently exposed to COVID 19
- Wearing bright, primary colors
- Coming unprepared for the weather or location
- Wear plaid when no one else is in plaid or with multiple types of plaid
- Come with outfit colors that do not match the location
- Wear styles that aren't fitted to your shoot type
- Wearing dark eye shadow under your eyes
- Avoid fly away hair by using hair spray or a anti frizz before your session (apply to the tops and sides of your hair)
