            Any clothing suggestions?
              Clients often ask me this. My answer is, "Be comfortable and don't wear colors or prints that clash with each other". Blue jeans and white shirts and blouses are popular dress. Tan and white, shades of blue or green are all good. Wearing white shirts and blouses are best at sunset and not a morning session as sunlight is reflected and can cause sensitive eyes to squint.
