What to Wear (or not!)

Let's start with the: What NOT to Wear!

This is only a suggestion for what does not typically photograph the best. These are YOUR pictures though, so clearly you can choose whatever is best for your family!

•Ball Caps

•Sunglasses- Do not wear on your eyes OR on your head

•Scrunchies/Hair ties on wrists

•Phones- (or large wallets/keys) in ANY pockets

•Shirts with words or large logos

•All black- You will blend in with the surrounding and have no definition

•All white- Save this for the beach or the studio! It all blurs together or gives you no definition

•Clothes too tight OR too big- you need to be able to move around in positions; Too big will only make you look larger as it gives no definition of shape

•Clothing with metallic material- reflective material does not typically complement many...

•Excessively bold colors- This will overwhelm your photos and detract from your actual family, expressions and background

•ALL matching materials/prints- Save this matchy matchy plan for your pj's! Some matching such as two children may work or dad and son shirts but only in minimal quanitity

•Too Busy Prints- If multiple people have on prints, it will start to detract and clash with one another

Use the Color palate template to help guide your family fashion:
First select a color row or column that matches your vision, is aesthetically pleasing to you, or blends well with items already in your family wardrobe.
Next, mix and match your family within those colors.
Think about adding LAYERS, TEXTURES, and one or two understated PRINTS (lines, flowers, etc. )
Lay/hang all outfits together and snap a quick photo with phone- this will help guide you on if any of the outfits standout too much!
Select accessories and shoes next. Consider the weather and the location for each- some may be best in boots, some may be fine in sandals.
Make sure to have all family members try on each outfit prior to the session to assure they have not had a growth spurt or it is too uncomfortable making for an unhappy experience.
