What to Wear to your personalized photo session!

One of THE most important things when heading for a shoot is what you’re wearing and in an ideal world it should be planned well before the shoot date and especially if you’re wanting family photographs it’s very important that the clothing you’re wearing goes well together.

LOGOS & PATTERNS – OK so *some* logos can be fine, some can actually add to a photograph (think a little boy wearing a Superman T-Shirt!) But most just distract away from the photograph, pretty similar with patterns, try keep them subtle.

TIME OF YEAR – Take into consideration when your shoot is taking place, if it’s Autumn there will be lots of browns, oranges etc in your background so look at colours that either compliment or contrast against those.

DO ADD COLOR – PLEASE DO! Hints of fushia pinks or bright turquoise can really help to make those photos pop, perhaps add them in accessories such as a necklace or shoes!

CLOTHING – You should be comfortable in what you’re wearing, but you should also wear something that perhaps isn’t your everyday clothing, I LOVE to photograph women in long dresses, maxi skirts etc (though there is nothing wrong with wearing jeans! – they are timeless!)

ACCESSORIES – Accessories are fabulous, not only do they help add color to photographs they can be taken away and added and give your photos a different look, from cardigans / hats and scarves, to jewellery, umbrellas, teddy bears, blankets etc etc etc – bring them along!
