WHAT YOU WEAR IS KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL PHOTOSHOOT.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CLOTHING & PREPARING FOR YOUR SHOOTS HELPS TO BRING OUT THE BEST VERSION OF YOU & YOUR FAMILY
COLOURS, CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES HELP TO CREATE THE MOOD & SET THE TONE FOR YOUR SHOOT, AS WELL AS COMPLEMENT THE HOME WHERE THE FINAL IMAGES WILL BE DISPLAYED.
YOUR STYLE SHOULD BE AS UNIQUE AS YOUR FAMILY, SO HERE IS SOME CLOTHING ADVICE FOR A CREATIVE & NATURAL PHOTO SESSION.
TIP 1: try to get a good night’s sleep the night before the
session.
Having everyone well rested & fed will help to alleviate stress for you!
TIP 2: only the people who are being photographed should be present at the session. Sometimes the excitement & the distraction of other family members can hinder the shoot.
casual & comfortable
plain is best
Clothing should complement, not dominate the portrait. Please avoid any logos, bold patterns or pictures. Block colours are always good, as are tone-on-tone colours (ie different shades of the same colours). Dark to medium tones are usually good (Avoid using BLACK as it can be draining and also shows up EVERY bit of fluff in photos!)
I personally LOVE pastel earthy colours and suggest using:
MUSTARD – instead of yellow
BROWN – instead of red
BLUSH PINK – instead of pink
RUST – instead of orange
please don't wear matching uniforms
accessorise!
bring props & add some fun
ensure your wall hangings will work in your home
Of course, everything here is just a guide to help you get the most from your session. The main thing is that you feel gorgeous and comfortable and it will show in whatever you are wearing!
My big tip? – get mum to choose her favourite top or outfit and pick colours and tones from that top for the rest of the family... and then everyone will feel great!
