What Should I Wear?

Probably the question I get asked most frequently is one I ask myself everyday..."what should I wear?"  So below are some tips and suggestions for upcoming photo sessions.

 

Be you!

• You/your fiance(e)/your family are the focus of every frame, so wear something that reflects who you are.
• If you bleed purple like me (Go Cats!), or have a color that consumes the majority of your closet, wear it!  That usually means you love how you look in it, and that confidence will shine through the lens.
• Are you obsessed with a type or brand of shoes?  Whether they are Sperry's, Jessica Simpson stilettos or cowboy boots, they are fun details that make the pictures unique to you.
• Do you have a favorite pair of go-to jeans or a never-worn sassy sundress?  Bring them both!  Outfit changes are always welcome – so maybe have one outfit that’s casual and fun, and one that’s a touch more dressy and sharp.

Comfort is key.

• If your skinny jeans require Crisco to squeeze in to, leave them at home.  Wear something your comfortable sitting, standing, and jumping in.
• Think about the time of year and location – a sweater and scarf will only make you sweat in the summer sun.
• If you have some stellar heels you want to wear, throw a pair of flip-flops in a bag for down-time between shots.
  

Color is critical.

• Think deep, rich colors (and remember, dark colors are always slimming).
• In addition to wearing clothes that are complementary to your body type, the colors should compliment each other too in couple or group photos.  If you all want to wear blue or black, try wearing varying hues or shades.

Rock your outfits.

• Wear your clothes, don't let your clothes wear you.
