Wardrobe Tips

When you are preparing for your session and wondering what to wear keep these tips in mind:

-Simplicity is KEY! Solid colors are best. Avoid large or bold patterns and bright colors (they draw attention away from the face).

-Long sleeve dresses and shirts are recommended.

-Darker clothing tends to minimize body size and light tones tend to emphasize body size.

-Do not mix light and dark colors. Save stronger colors and patterns for accent items like scarves and neckties.

-White or light pastel clothing looks best in portraits taken against white or light backgrounds. Dark clothing looks best photographed against darker backgrounds and creates a more formal mood.

-Earth tones are best for outdoor portraits.

-Traditional style clothing will keep your portraits looking fresh for years.
