Preparing for a photo session can be both exciting and overwhelming, but don’t worry, I’m here to help! I want you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident during our time together. With that in mind, here are some tips to help you choose the perfect outfits for your session:
- Embrace Your Favorites: Start by going through your wardrobe and picking out pieces that make you feel amazing. Whether it’s a cozy sweater, flattering jeans, or a hat that always gets compliments, choose items that reflect your personal style and make you feel like your best self.
- Subtlety is Key: When it comes to patterns, opt for subtle designs that won’t distract from your faces. Bold patterns and stripes can create visual distortion in photos, so it’s best to choose solid colors or understated patterns that complement each other.
- Mix & Match: If one person will be wearing a patterned outfit, consider having the other person wear a solid color in a complementary or neutral tone. This will help maintain focus on your love and connection, rather than clashing patterns.
- Add Character with Textures: Experiment with different textures like knits, distressed denim, linen, cashmere, or vintage fabrics. These textures can add depth and visual interest to your photographs, creating a unique and captivating look.
- Dress for Movement: Candid moments captured in motion can bring a sense of life and joy to your photos. Choose clothing that allows you to move comfortably and freely. Flowy dresses, billowing sleeves, or loose-fitting sweaters can create beautiful gestures and add a touch of romance to your images.
- Props and Accessories: Props can enhance your photos and make them more personal. Consider bringing items that reflect your interests or activities you enjoy together. Accessories like jewelry, hats, or belts can also add a touch of style and variety to your outfits.
- Embrace Neutrals: Neutrals are timeless and photograph beautifully. While black, white, grey, and tan are classic choices, don’t forget about the subtle shades of pink, orange, blue, green, yellow, and purple that can also be considered neutrals. Think about muted tones like olive green or dusty pink for a softer, sophisticated look.
Remember, the most important thing is for you to feel comfortable and confident in what you wear. Whether you opt for neutrals or bold colors, the key is to choose outfits that make you feel like your best, truest self. Trust in your style choices, and together, we’ll create beautiful and authentic photographs that you’ll cherish forever.
