You have your photo session booked... You have the time and location picked out... The kids have been "talked to" about how to behave... Now the only thing left is to figure out what everyone is going to wear!! I would say this is, by far, the most stressful part for most of us!
Well, here are few tips that will hopefully ease the stress and make it a more enjoyable experience!
Don't be to "Matchy-Matchy"
Instead of trying to get the whole family to match, try to coordinate by using colors that go well together. I like to advise to start with one person and then fill everyone else in. There is a great website that can help with color families (ps. it's awesome for home decorating too)! Go to http://design-seeds.com/... you can put any color in and it will give you coordinating colors for it. I Love This Site :-)!!!
Use Pops of Bright Color
Photos look awesome with pops of bright colors in them. Trust me, this was a very difficult concept for me to grasp. I am a brown and black kinda girl, but when you see a photo with an awesome yellow or pink or blue (the list goes on and on) it just pops and makes it that much more AWESOME!
Accessorize. Accessorize. Accessorize.
I LOVE hats, scarves, coats, vests... you name it! Accessories are so great for pictures. First of all they can make the same outfit look totally different, but also they just make a photo look more complete. A few years ago, I went to a presentation on "what to wear" day to day and the lady mentioned wearing items in 3s. It is always best to add that third item to an outfit... pants, shirt and one more item completes the outfit. This can be a big necklace, a layered shirt, a scarf, a hat... you name it.
Wear what you LoVe!
Pictures are meant to capture who you are. I love when I take a photo of a family and their true personality comes out! To me, that is the best keepsake! So, wear what you love and what you feel good in!
