What should I/we wear?

If you are now sitting at home wondering what is the ideal outfit for your next portrait session, don’t worry you are not alone. With almost every consultation I do I hear that question. Of course, to get the most out of your session, your outfit is indeed very important.

The first step in answering that question is to ask yourself what do you want from your session. Think about whether you want formal, or casual portraits, or a little bit of both. Once you have defined the style of your photo shoot, it will be a little bit easier to match that format to your own personal fashion.

The Secret is Out:

That’s true, you can and should try your best to dress to your own taste in fashion. The main goal with your portrait session should be to capture your natural self. The truth is that we feel the most satisfied in clothes that we like. So, your best bet is to be yourself. Remember, the way you feel will be reflected in your photographs.

Some Suggestions

* Keeping it simple is better.

* Contrasting fabrics and colors are a great choice.

* Darker colors will slim you down.

* Bright colors are fun especially if you choose the ones that compliment your skin tone.

* Accessorize, accessorize and accessorize. I love accessories, they can really bring life to a simple part of jeans and a top.

* Dress on the same level. In another words, if one is casual it will be better if everyone else is too, etc.

I always recommend to my clients to bring additional set of clothes and/or accessories to the photo shoot if they are undecided, or if they want additional opinions, or if they are open to creativity. We can also change outfits, mix and match and add accessories on spot.

Break all the Rules

It is ultimately up to you to decide what images you want to create and what memories you want to preserve. It is your life & your style.
