Here are some things to think about when choosing outfits for your custom portraiture session.

Sessions work well with colors that you can easily find in nature, like greens, blues and browns and even jewel tones.  Give some thought to having a group where different tones of the same color.

Go for simple patterns or solids, or a muted 'organic' design (nothing that may be cut off or non-readable in a certain pose or crop).

Fitted clothing flatters and avoids making people look wider than they are.

Some good ideas are jeans and a nice shirt/top, a little black dress, a stylish jacket.  Bring a variety - some dressy, some casual

Accessories are fun and help to show your personality.

Some things to avoid...

• Avoid wearing white as it really soaks in the light!  It is easier to deal with this in studio however.
• Avoid sleeveless shirt but shirts with thinner straps can look good
• Avoid stripes (unless muted), wild patterns and shirts with writing
• Avoid strong bright colors

Our goal should be to achieve a timeless photo that you will cherish forever with no regrets.  Current fashions are fine but avoid making too much of a statement, or at least give your 'statement' plenty of thought!  Let me know what your plans are so we can plan accordingly with appropriate backdrops and locations.  I will provide a lot of assistance with posing but some things to keep in mind, in cease we get carried away are keep you body on an angle to the camera and don't put hands in your pockets, just thumbs at the most.  I may start out with all these things right but don't want to miss any moves when I'm behind the camera that end up with these little issues.  Thanks!  And let's chat about all this to make sure we are making the most out of your custom portraiture session!
