As a lifestyle photographer, a question I am asked frequently is what should I wear during my photo shoot?

We all know how stressful it can be when choosing the perfect outfit.

I’m here to give you a little bit of guidance on choosing what works best from a photographer’s point of view.

Let’s start off with your children.

-Decide what they are going to wear and combine it with your outfits. You do not need to match but rather coordinate your outfits so that they complement each another.

-When choosing what colours to wear; neutral, earthy and pastel tones always work best especially for outdoor shoots. This creates a timeless look and is not hard to create.

-Accessorize and layer your outfits to bring out your best asset.

-Dress to match your location. Okay, this may sound weird, but trust me when I say you will actually stand out more in your photos.

-Skip the logos. It really pulls the focus away from you.

-Like I said before, you don’t HAVE to match. Rather look for colours that will complement one another’s outfit.

I hope these simple tips will help you create the kind photos you deserve.

With love,
