PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

For head and shoulder portraits:

Place your subject in profile against a light background.

Make sure your subject is looking straight on (not slightly toward you or the background)
and is nice and relaxed, mouth closed if possible.

Position yourself at eye level with your subject.

Be sure to include the entire head and shoulders.

For girls, hair worn up in a ponytail can add more interest to the portrait.

Don't worry about being too neat - any stray curls or hairs add some charm to the portrait!

For full figure portraits:

Try to keep subjects faces in profile.

Keep poses simple.

And that's it. Happy snapping!
Oh and please be sure that the pics are reasonably high res - blurry won't fly...
