Dressing Slimmer for your Portraits

Who isn't intersted in looking slimmer, especially for portraits? It's a concern many of us have- and in fact I think it's often a reason we mothers especially, don't jump in for portraits with our kids more often.
My friend and fellow photographer, Barb posted an extremely helpful post on her blog with some fabulous tips and hints for dressing slim for portraits. I think you'll find them helpful as well. You can read it HERE
In addition- if you have certain features you are self conscious of- don't hesitate to mention it to me. A skilled photographer will have ways to use light, shadow and posing to bring out your finest qualities while minimizing others. What can't we do? Um, putting hair on a bald head, changing your striped orange and blue shirt to a solid navy sweater, inserting teeth where there are none, ( you think I'm making those up, don't you?) - Photoshop is an amazing tool, but some edits require lots of time and skill and therefore often editing charges will incur. And just because something 'CAN" be done, doens't necessarily mean it SHOULD be done. :) Remember, you still want to you look like yourself so when the kids look back in your family portrait, they recognize all the family members. :)
