What to Wear for Pictures

by Carrie White Photography Headshots, Portraits, Printing, Seniors

What to Wear for your next professional photography session.

Great Reason to Dress Up!

Let’s be real, when it comes to portraits, sometimes you might forget you can actually dress up! Take the extra time to put together a nice outfit that will make you FEEL good about yourself. It’s probably the first time in years you might be getting professional photos taken, so it’s a special occasion, right?!

It’s OK to wear a beautiful flowing dress or wear those shoes you’ve been wanting to take out of the box from last year.  Break out the slacks men and wear a button down shirt!

The point is, you will look at your photos and think back to how confident and awesome you FELT during the portrait session.

Groups and Families

Groups are best dressed with colors that coordinate, blend or compliment each other.  Solid colors allow the focus to be on your smiling faces.  Avoid verbiage and other distractions; logos and characters on clothing can date your photos.  Color Theory is very significant when considering what to wear for you portraits.  So, choose colors next to each other on the color wheel or colors that are across from each other; these color selections will show a natural balance in your final pictures and make you look awesome!

Wee Ones and Children

It’s all about capturing your child’s personality!  Whether she’s a girly-girl or a tomboy, dress to reflect their loves and capture their spirit.  We love bare feet and rolled up jeans on little boys.  Don’t forget to accessorize!  Hair bows or hats complete the look. 

More details about clothing choices

We want to create timeless portraits for your family, so it’s important to keep clothing choices clean-looking and simple. Many people may think a personal photo is enough, but if you’re looking for a professional business headshot, here are some key details to help you prepare. It’s always a good idea to have a few outfits on hand.  If you’re still not confident, we would be glad to help you pick out which outfit will photograph the best.

  • Maroon and Brown
  • Tan and Denim
