What to Wear
Do’s and don’t for your family or portrait session
When getting ready for your photo session here are a few tips to consider when planning your family’s wardrobe:
Avoid bright colors & fluorescents, these colors do not photograph well and often cast colors on your skin.
A few of my favorite colors for photos are: mustard yellow, burnt orange, teals, deep reds such as burgundy, earthy greens, blues and off- white just to name a few.
Avoid logos, writing, cartoon characters etc.
For family photos I do suggest matching but not necessarily over-matching. For example: navy blue & white with some pops of color- maybe a mustard yellow or pale pink etc..
Keep most of the family in solid colors with 1-2 prints/patterns mixed in.
You want to be comfortable during your shoot so wear something that looks great, flatters and is also comfortable. For women/girls I love to see dresses, layers or items that flow and create texture.
I will be happy to help you decide on outfit choices if you feel you need a bit of guidance.
