Integrating the Latest Fashion Trends into Your Glamour Shots Portrait

Go bold, or go home! This summer, fashion is all about bold and bright colors, including bright neons, vivid lip colors, statement necklaces, and more. These fashion trends are chic, bold and extremely wearable and keep your look updated for your upcoming photoshoot. Below are a few trends for summer 2012 that will be sure to make a statement in your portraits.

Color Blocking
This trend has been popping up on the red carpet since early spring on celebrities such as Katy Perry, Michelle Williams, and Victoria Justice. These Hollywood divas have made a splash in Hollywood with color block dresses at red carpet events. To make this look successful, limit your outfit to two or three bold, very different colors.

Neon Color Trends
Neon colors are no longer reserved for security vests! Neon greens, oranges, and pinks are "in" this summer and are chic in both large and small doses. For a more modest style, use a neon green or pink nail polish or carry a chic neon orange handbag. For a more daring look, go with a neon maxi dress, but go easy on the bold accessories.

Colored Pants and Jeans
Bright and pastel skinny jeans are all the rage this summer. Bring a burst of sunshine to your wardrobe with some fun, playful and super trendy colored jeans paired with a white, black, or neutral colored top. Royal blue, pastel pink, and Kelly green are all popular colors this summer to add to your wardrobe without going "over-the-top."

Even if you are not a huge fan of bold and bright colors, there are some modest ways to embrace the trend without looking like a traffic cone. If you are stressing out trying to choose an outfit, Glamour Shots ratings might help ease your mind. Glamour Shots' knowledgeable and experienced staff will help you feel right at home and will help guide you the entire photoshoot.

Father's Day Portraits

With Father's Day approaching shortly, you may be stuck trying to figure out what to get him to make his day special. Rather than resorting to a tacky neck tie or a corny "Best Dad on Earth" mug, switch it up this year with a memorable and personal gift of a portrait. Make this Father's Day one to remember with a portrait of his children (even if you're all "grown-up") for a gift he can treasure forever. Is your Dad also a grandfather? Portraits of grandchildren make a great Father's Day present as well.

Glamour Shots offers high-quality, professional portraits at affordable prices. With professional hair, makeup, and retouching services, it's no wonder families are flocking to Glamour Shots to make it in time for Father's Day. You will never have to worry about a Glamour Shots locations scam, as our staff at every location are trained professionals with a variety of experience. Our professionals will make you feel right at home and will bring you beautiful, high-quality photos to present to Dad this Father's Day.

Glamour Shots portraits make a great gift for any occasion but parents are the ones who truly appreciate the sentimental value of photos, making a portrait of you and your siblings (if applicable) a wonderful option. Personalize your gift this Father's Day rather than the usual neck tie and mug. Give him something to show how much you love him and he can cherish for the rest of his life this Father's Day. After all, a photo is worth a thousand words.
