Clothing suggestions: 

Here are a few tips on what to wear to your session:
  • Soft tones and shades of the same color work very well together. 
  • Use textured clothing to add depth to your photographs.  A knit scarf, a pair of boots, a ruffled/lace top-all add elements of interest to your photographs. 
  • Use accessories wisely.  They should not distract from the subject of the photo- you- but instead, add a pop of color or break the monotony.  
  • It helps to have a color theme in mind.  Each person can have accents or parts of these colors, rather than everyone matching entirely.  
                            Here are some examples of various color themes for family portraits:

Ladies, texture in your fabrics is a good thing.  Flowy is good, especially for us new moms, but try to make sure it still fits well in the shoulders and chest.  Accentuate your best qualities. Even if you are coming for a newborn session, you are gorgeous and strong and just grew a baby!!  There's nothing more beautiful than that. Accessories such as a scarf or necklace are great, but don't overdo it with too many.  Pick one great accessory (or two and we can switch it out throughout the session.)  Also, heels (even small boot heels) are always a good idea!  They elongate your legs and make your calves look great, even in pants.

Men, be sure to class it up a bit.  Unless you're really after a sports picture, please don't wear your sports hoodies or golf shirts.  Soft, classy dad photographs best!  Also, your shoes matter!  A good pair of leather shoes go a long way in your photographs.  Form fitting pants are also a good idea.   
General Tip:
Make sure you keep it simple when it comes to patterns.  We don't want Mom, Dad and baby all competing for the loudest design! If someone has a patterned fabric, such as the women's dress above, you would want to pair that with a men's solid sweater, like the lighter blue one in the bottom right corner of the men's section above.  The colors coordinate but aren't the exact hue.  

I am a full-service photography boutique, so if you ever need assistance picking out clothing for your session, I'm available to help.
