Have trouble deciding what to wear? What you wear for your session is the most important consideration that impacts the overall look and feel of your images - next to your choice of photographer.
Depending on your personal style, you may want to create something unique. Whether you dress down or up, it is important that you - or if it is a family session, every family member, finds their style.
Does your daughter prefer pants instead of dresses? Does your son like to wear button down shirts over an untucked T-shirt? Appearing in the same image doesn’t mean you have to wear the same outfits.
While we’ve all seen the images of families together put together different personal styles. it is also important to showcase your individual styles and personalities through the clothing you select.
Try coordinating without overly matching. For example, if your daughter decides on a dress in gingham blue and white, your son may choose a solid blue shirt that picks up the blue from her clothes. You could then opt for a different shade of blue (or a complementary shade) for your husband.
Matching one another in terms of formality and style means dad shouldn’t show up in a tie and jacket while the kids wear jeans and T-shirts. Matching in style without wearing the exact clothes will make for perfect portraits.
