what to wear to your session!?
First thing to decide is what style of portraits you would like when considering your wardrobe. Stylized? Is there a Theme? Traditional?
Also consider whether you would like formal, or casual. Will you have time for outfit changes?
Second thing to get out of the way- YOU DO NOT NEED TO MATCH OUTFITS IDENTICALLY WITH EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY! and yes it is necessary to put that statement in all caps. ;)
Here are some easy tips to
plan your session wardrobe:
TIP #1. Simple as it sounds "get pretty". Give your hair and make up a little etxra TLC.
TIP #2. When in doubt, stick to solids. Solids are versatile, wont distract from the subject.
TIP#3. Instead of the family wearing all white- (which actually is one of the hardest colors to photograph.) Consider adding a little variety. For example you may wear shades of the same color (purple, lavender, royal purple..), or all wear warm colors (red, orange, yellow) Etc.
TIP #4. Don't know where to begin? Pick one person's outfit and build around it.
Here is a little visual guide- styles can be found at stores like Old Navy & Gap.
