What to Wear for Your Portrait Session???

I know that “What to wear??” is always one of the first questions in your head when you book your family portrait session.  Choosing the right colors and clothing styles can help make your family portrait the valuable piece of art it was meant to be.

The very first thing you need to consider as you are planning out your wardrobe is comfort.  Make sure that you and your family are all wearing something that makes you feel good and that you feel good wearing.  The confidence this provides will come across in your photographs.

I suggest wearing clothes from the same color family  - keep in mind they don’t have to be exactly the same shade.  Years down the road, you may no longer love the “matchy-matchy” look!  Dressing your family in colors that blend together helps to keep the focus on your family and not their clothing.  You also want to make sure that there is some contrast between the top and the bottoms.

I’ve been doing a bit of research, and it looks like deep purple and dark teal seem to be popular colors coming out this fall.  When paired with bluejeans or khakis, you can create a fun combo of colors.

Below is an idea I put together for clothing suggestions.  All items can be purchased at Gap and Old Navy.
