OUTFIT STYLE GUIDE

Putting together timeless and classic outfits for the family can be somewhat overwhelming considering all of the options. What colours do we include? Should we be wearing patterns? Can we look formal? In general, there are a lot of valid questions to have regarding outfits and more importantly, correlating outfits for your session. This is why I have put together an Outfit Style Guide that will answer any questions you may have, and be beneficial to you and the family when preparing for your session.


Please read below to view helpful tips to help you choose classic, correlating, and beautiful attire for your photos!



What to Wear:


COMPLIMENTING OUTFITS

Following a colour scheme is very important, but avoid matching each other completely.


MILD / NUETRAL

Neutral colours are the a great option for your photos. This includes white, cream, black. If you choose to wear a colour, I suggest choosing something closer to the pastel/lighter side of things, and making it complimentary.


SOLID COLOURS OR SUBTLE PATTERNS

Try to stick with solid coloured clothing (shirts, pants, dresses, etc.) This will give a timeless look for your photos. If you do include a pattern, choose one, and make it a complimentary addition to the outfits rather than the main foundation. Example: Have one or two of your children wearing a buffalo print, but do not have everyone wear the same pattern. Think of it as tying the look together!


TEXTURES & LAYERS

Wearing different textures and layers such as ruffles, knits, cardigans, flowy skirts & dresses, vests, etc. will really compliment your photos!


What to Avoid:


FLORESCENT coloured clothing


bold stripes


distracting patterns


chunky watches & rubber bracelets.
