Random Wednesday: What to Wear For Your Portrait Session

I often get the question "what do you think we should wear for our session?". Good question, since your session is an investment...you want to look your best! You also want your images to reflect your family's personality and to fit into your home, right?

I often tell clients to try to dress with some pops of color. I personally think children look best in bright colors OR pops of color (hair bows, scarves, socks, shoes...you want to bring out some color in the pics...make it fun!). So, I usually tell clients to start with the girl (if there is one!), and dress her in bright colors and/or patterns. I then tell them to choose colors within what she is wearing and coordinate the rest of the family. By coordinate, I do not necessarily mean match, just don't clash.

Take some tips from this family. :) Colorful, cute and fun!

One more thought: if your child has a favorite "lovey", "friend", stuffed animal or toy...bring it along! These extras make for more personalized images...make your images memorable!
