Wardrobe
It is one of the hardest decisions when getting ready for photos!
What I recommend
- Wear neutral colors – white, cream, grey, tan, dusty blue, and caramel are some examples! You can still wear red, just keep in mind the vibrancy of the shade!
- Wear outfits that compliment each other and your location.
- Wear different textures.
- Wear layers – or at least bring layers. If you are wearing a loose fit dress, try a belt with it. I love flowy dresses, but we don't want to lose your figure!
- Pinterest is always my go to, so I can visually show you outfit ideas!
- Men wear collared button ups or Polos with shorts or pants, preferably clothing without words on it.
Beach Family Shoot Ideas!
As you can see, the boys are matching BUT if you look closely at the shades in their shirt you will see that their sisters dress matches along with mom's dress! The shade around the boy's pattern matches dad's shirt! These are also more neutral tones of blue, green and orange!
Maternity Family Session
Flowy white dress with lace for texture, husband with a Burgandy button up, and their daughter is in a Burgandy dress as well BUT she has a lace texture like mom!
Wooded Family Shoot Ideas
This outfit color scheme and texture is perfect for fall! The texture between their son's overalls and the mom's dress is a perfect example!
Gray, Charcoal, Tan, Cream and Burnt Orange!
Senior Photo Ideas!
Senior photos I still recommend staying with the original suggestions.
When it comes to adding in their personality, the bolder the better! If they have a sport, hobby, interest, or anything that is THEM! I recommend bringing that to the shoot.
Examples: Soccer ball, Car, Harry potter books or wands, paint brushes, books, guitar or anything related to a college they may be attending!
What I don't recommend!
- Avoid fluorescent/neon colors – they can reflect onto your skin. If you have a lot of red in your face naturally, I would avoid wearing bright red or bright pink. Color wheel comes into play here,
Green is on the opposite spectrum of red!
- Avoid distracting patterns that are super bold (unless it is a branding shoot)
- Avoid big watches, rubber bracelets and bracelets with words on it.
- Avoid too much makeup and orange spray-self tanners – If you are getting your hair and or make up done, suggest a more natural look, bridal soft glam or even natural soft glow.
- For spray tans try to choose an olive tone, and preferably get it done a week ahead of time for it to fade. When it comes to editing, I will know that you have recently been spray tanning. Your skin will edit differently than the others in the photos!
