Dressing for your session.
Tips to make you look beautiful.
- Wear solid colored clothing black, earth tone's, burgundy, blues,greens so that we see all of your face. If you wear stripes,patterns or flowers, you will take away attention from yourself and all we see are the clothes.
- choose similar tones for your top and bottom (both dark or both light) so that one doesn’t look bigger than the other.
- choose 1-3 colors for your family portrait, ones with similar tones that go nicely together and have everyone work within that color palette. For example: black dark green, navy, and burgundy – all dark jewel tones. OR tan, a lighter olive green, and denims – all lighter, softer tones. So that we see the people first and your portrait looks stunning. Wedding group photos look so good because they’re all wearing the same colors and the people stand out!
- choose a top with sleeves at least to the elbow, because your arms take up more skin area than your face and will draw attention and it may also make your arms look larger
- choose long pants for men/ladies or a skirt below the knee for ladies so that your legs don’t take attention from your faces, and you will be able to sit and bend without showing too much leg
- choose dark socks and footwear (unless it’s a barefoot look)
- keep jewelry simple and minimalist
- Wear some makeup on eyes and cheeks, shiny faces are not flattering, also lipstick or gloss looks great too. Hope these tips help. Call Olson Photography if you have any more questions. We are here to help you look your best.
