Styling for Portraits

I get asked all the time by clients about what to wear and my response is very simple, “wear what you like!” For the clients that need more guidance, I talk them through a simple “what to wear guide” a few weeks before the session but my list is short:

- I discourage stripes or matching cloths just because they don’t always look the best in the picture. Instead, try and stick with solid colors in the same palette.

- What came first the outfit or location?  Sometimes where clients choose to take the photo helps give them advice on what to wear or vice versa. So take that into account when your making your decision.

- Don’t underestimate wearing a good shoes or you can just go barefoot (my fav. There will be full body shots and this could be a make it or break the shot.

- For kid shoots I always encourage parents to have them bring their favorite action hero shirt or bring their ballerina attire as a clothing option.

All that being said, I think in the end style depends on the personal preference and hopefully that will come through the day of the shoot.
