  3. The style of your portrait should reflect your family's personality.

Formal Portrait Style

This style may be displayed in a more formal room of your home. Dress for this style of portrait will be dresses, skirts or dress slacks for the women, suits and ties for the men. Usually the formal portrait is photographed with a dark background.

Casual Portrait Style
