What to wear?

Planning clothing for your portrait session can seem daunting but no fear we are here to help.

Wear what you feel good in! You want to be comfortable in your clothing, avoid clothing that

is too big or too tight. If you are uncomfortable in your clothes it will show on your face.

• Start with one outfit that you really like and build from there.

• You don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Matching is out and coordinating is in!

Bottoms: This is the easiest place to start and the area that should not be the focus

in your portrait. This is the best place for neutral tones. Examples for pants/skirts/shorts:

Denim, Dark Denim, Gray, Khaki, Brown or Black.

Tops: Focus on one or two general tones to carry out for everyone (Family Session). Choose one or

two colors and feel free to mix up different shades and textures within those one to two colors.

Styles: Layer, Layer, Layer!!! Layers add dimension and depth. Layer with a cute belt, pendant necklace,

cardigans, belts, statement necklaces, scarves, hats & blazers.
