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 muted tones that are a bit subdued so that you are the subject not your clothes and you don’t stand out from the group. Bright colors project (especially reds, oranges, and yellows), which also makes you look larger.
- choose similar tones for your top and bottom (both dark or both light) so that one doesn’t look bigger than the other. White top, dark pants will make your top look bigger. White pants, dark top will make your butt look bigger.
- 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 photo on the beach) because white just sticks out like a sore thumb and that’s all you’ll notice in your portrait
- keep jewelry simple and minimalist because too much draws attention from your face
- Wear some makeup on eyes and cheeks, shiny faces are not flattering, also lipstick or gloss looks great too.
