Tips for a Great Photo Shoot
 

CreativeCoordinates captures your beauty by using natural light when available and professional grade SLR digital cameras.

Make sure you get a good night's sleep prior to the shoot. This will help prevent the un-wanted bags under the eyes as well as help give you the patience and stamina that is needed during a shoot. After all, we all look and feel better after a good nights sleep.

How to look your best

Wardrobe:
Plan carefully to represent the desired casting for your shot. It should be appropriate for your age range.

Clothes:
Clothes should compliment, not compete. Simple is best. Avoid patterns, stripes, dots, checks, paisley, floral prints, Hawaiian shirts, logos. Avoid oversized clothes and big shoulder pads. Select fabrics that move well and drape gracefully rather than stiff fabrics like linens. Make sure your clothes are in good condition because the camera sees everything. Your clothes should fit well and make you feel good.

Colors:
Colors are important. Learn the skill of converting color in your mind's eye into black and white and shades of grey. Pastels like pale yellow will photograph white. Dark colors like navy will photograph black. Medium shades of color will photograph grey. Only wear black for theatrical shots as it has a more dramatic look. Contrast clothing to your hair color.

Accessories:
Keep it to a minimum. Avoid hats, hair ornaments, and sparkly or costume jewelry unless it is for a character shot. Women's could select classic and conservative jewellery for a business look.

Professionalism:
Be sure to get plenty of rest the night before. Allow enough time to get to your photo shoot so you are not rushed or late! It is important for you to be calm, positive, and comfortable.
 

Tips for a Great Baby Photo Shoot

CreativeCoordinates captures the beauty of your baby by using natural light, experienced photographers and professional grade SLR digital cameras.

Babies look beautiful when being held in their parents' arms or cuddled in one of their own baby blankets. Bring your favourite baby blanket or afghan from home for use in the photo shoot. A beautiful blanket can add texture, color and memories to your newborn's photo.

We love to include the mom or dad's hands in our photos. Wear clear or neutral polish on the day of your shoot.

We want your baby to be the focus of the photos. Bring a solid black, brown or grey shirt for you to wear in photos. We may photograph your baby in your arms. These colors look great in both color and black and white prints.

Friends and family are welcome to stay to view this special rite of passage.
