When choosing a photographer it is vital that you choose someone who you are comfortable with. In this instance you should understand that not all personalities fit each other. One of the easiest ways to distinguish a photographer who will suit you is to interview photographers from various Minneapolis portrait photography studios. See how you feel and if they make you feel confident that they will make you look and feel your best, as well as if you feel comfortable with them. "Once you have that confidence your portrait session will be more successful" says Minneapolis photographer Bob Dale.

Another thing that is important is to plan ahead. Your photographer should offer to have a meeting with you in order to discuss and plan your portrait. During that meeting you and your photographer will get to know each other a little bit better and they will get your ideas about what you want for your portrait. Some things that you should talk about include color schemes, hair and makeup options and the overall look and feel you want in your portraits. A thorough consultation will also help you to start planning how you can incorporate your portraits with the other furnishings of your home.

It is useful to visualize as this is able to produce very good results and allows benchmarking for the success of your portrait session and the outcome of the photographs. This does require some serious thought as you will need to think about what kind of person or family you are a part of. You should condense your visualization into a couple of brief sentences, and should include items such as your clothes, pose, personality and expression.

The adage "clothes makes the person" is true when considering a portrait, what you wear will add to the personality and mood of the photograph. In a portrait the eyes and face will expose personality so the goal in selecting the correct wardrobe for the photograph is to influence mood and be flattering.

Nevertheless, you should also remember that the clothes help to set the portrait's mood or feeling, which is why you should also avoid wearing the 'latest,' 'greatest,' "in" styles if you do not want your portrait to become dated.

For a portrait to have a bright, cheerful look, light tones in clothing are not necessary although they will reduce any shadows present.

Just because you choose to wear dark clothing does not mean you are in a mood. It is indeed a color that makes you appear slimmer and enhances skin tone.

White or very light clothes can make the skin tone appear to look washed out.
