A little planning makes your portraits feel timeless. Here is everything you need to arrive ready.
Every client receives personal wardrobe guidance before the session. Consider this your head start.
Soft, warm neutrals photograph beautifully and never date: cream, camel, taupe, sage, olive, and rich browns. Pick two or three tones and build around them.
For families, blend within your palette rather than wearing identical outfits. Mix textures and tones so everyone belongs together without looking like a uniform.
Knits, linen, denim, wool, and flowing fabrics add depth and movement. Texture reads as quality and keeps the focus on faces.
Skip large logos, neon brights, and busy patterns. They compete with your face and pull the eye away from the moment.
Well fitted clothing always photographs best. For a more elegant, timeless feel, longer sleeves and dresses tend to age gracefully in wall art.
Jackets, cardigans, hats, and scarves add polish and give us more looks to work with in a single session.
A second look or two, layers, and anything that helps you feel confident. For children, a favorite comfort item can work wonders.
Heirlooms, instruments, letter jackets, a beloved pet, or a family quilt. Meaningful objects make artwork that is truly yours.
Arrive relaxed and a few minutes early. Everything is directed, so all you have to do is show up and be present.
Reach out and we will help you plan wardrobe, timing, and everything in between.
