What to wear Start with Color The easiest place to start wardrobe planning is with your color palette. Think coordinated, not “matched”. Begin by choosing a mix of complementary neutral colors, punctuated with pops of a brighter accent color on individual clothing item and accessories. or go for a range of shades within your chosen palette individually for each member of your family. Your goal is to create a pulled together, coordinated look that’s natural without being overly “matched” or “uniformed”

Create interest with layers & Accessories Using layers and accessories is a great way to add visual interest and create different “looks” for each family member during the session. Simply adding or removing items like sweaters, vests or jackets can give a quick “wardrobe change” between the shoots. Carefully chosen accessories like scarfs, statement jewlery of favourite hat touches of personal style and personality and they are great techniques to make individual family members the star of a particular group of poses.

Timeless, not trendy While the latest fashion trends can be great for your day-to-day look, taking a more classic approach to your wardrobe choices is always best for portraits.

What-to-wear TIPS *Haircuts and styling are best scheduled two to three weeks before your shoot to allow hair to grow out for a more comfortable, true to you look. *Try to avoid bold, graphic logos or sports team graphics on apparel. they can be distracting in an image *Be sure your shoes fit the look of your wardrobe. *For hands you can stick with neatly shaped, clear nails. Soft, neutral colors work well for fingertips
