Choosing the Right Outfit - Pt. 1

This has to be the hardest part of your job as a photo subject: choosing the right outfit(s) for your session. I have several suggestions that you might find helpful for making the most out of your session.

Tip 1: Don't go "matchy-matchy." All white, all red, all blue, all denim jackets - all the same color AND style just doesn't show individuality. While cohesiveness is important, identical outfits tend to get monotonous. My suggestion: coordinate & compliment. Here are a few ideas for a family session:

A nice, non-busy sweater vest for dad with a solid color underneath and jeans. Wear with black Converse or black/grey dress shoes and you're set.

A cool, comfortable, but stylish cardigan with graphic shirt underneath for mom. Pair with black pants and a black flower headband. Black boots and chandelier earrings (check out Forever 21's accessories) would make the outfit!

Black and grey wide-striped shirt for girls sizes 7-16. Coordinates with both mom and dad if paired with black pants or jeans. Add a cute necklace and headband.

A grey military shirt with tie will compliment any young man. Pair with jeans and some casual shoes and you're set.
