Okay I know a lot of you ask me suggestions on WHAT TO WEAR for your photo shoot. I know I know it can be an all day thing trying to pick out outfits for your whole family that everyone likes! ;-) Anyways, some of you tend to go neutral, which can be great but only for certain locations. For example, you decide to have everyone wear white shirts and blue jeans, but your session is on a sandy white beach, with that much white and light colors coming from the sand you tend to get a dull, boring look because the colors are all the same! How can we fix this? Instead of just plain white shirts you could have white shirts with colored cardigans for the girls and mom, each one a different but coordinating color would be perfect!! How about for the boys and dad? You could put colored sweater vest that coordinate with the girls cardigans over the boys white button down long sleeved shirts! If dad doesn't like sweater vest (which I know some men don't) then he could wear a casual jacket or mens cardigan if he prefers! =)
Now don't mistake me when I say colors, that it only means solid bright colors! No a splash of pattern is okay (not too much though) and pastel and dark colors are great as well, even some grey!
Also, don't go overboard with jewelry or accessories. Small earrings and simple necklaces are great! Stay away from too much silver or gold jewelry to refrain from generating any flares or reflections from the jewelry!
The best outfits I can tell you to wear is something comfortable and to choose the colors you want in your shoot and then coordinate them in to each outfit with different pieces of clothing. Make sense?
If not, here are some examples to leave you with!
If you don't have kids and are just doing a couples session, of course you don't have to even wear the same colors, but colors that go well together are the best for photos! like some of these!
This is an awesome shot by the way! =)
