What to Wear to your Portrait Session
In general, avoid anything too trendy or with bold colors and large patterns. You do not want to draw attention away from the face. Solid earth tones and classic colors like black are ideal. There are exceptions for children. When the mood of the portrait is meant to be a little funky, bright clothing and accessories can add personality to the photograph. Just make sure it is a color your child looks good in and reflects your child’s personality.
When a group is involved, outfits do not have to match, but should coordinate.
Women should avoid open necklines and instead opt for clothing with v shaped necklines. Everyone should avoid sleeveless tops.
Feel free to bring an extra set of clothing to change into. Also bring hair brushes, makeup, combs, etc. for those little touch ups.
Avoid clothing with logos, lettering, or numbers on it as this can be distracting. Sports uniforms are the only exception.
Add fun accessories. A floppy hat, a long scarf, a bright red umbrella, a favorite toy, or your child’s favorite bright green sunglasses are little details that create portraits that are memorable and are unique to your child’s personality. Other possibilities include an instrument, a soccer ball, a skateboard, etc.
Most importantly, choose clothing that is comfortable! You don’t want to be distracted by itchy collars or uncomfortable fabrics. I want your photo session to be fun and relaxing.
