Summer Colors: soft/light pastels
*TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR SESSION AMAZING!* ~ Click here for GENERAL INFORMATION
- Be sure to check out THIS Pinterest board for ideas for your outfit! – WHAT TO WEAR SUMMER PHOTO SHOOT
- Always keep in mind your session surrounding. Since most of my sessions take place outdoor, natural areas, choose outfit that fits this atmosphere. Example: A tight formal dress and stilettos won’t fit into the environment very well.
- Ladies, I recommend dresses as they photograph much more feminine than jeans or pants. I recommend light/airy fabrics.
- The colors that photograph best with my style of photography are earth tones and neutrals as well as light/soft pastels.
- Stay away from bright, bold, or dark colors as they do not photograph well and reflect up into the skin by creating color cast. Example: Black, coral, neons, etc. Also, stay away from bright whites. Soft whites and ivories photograph much better.
- Guys: My style of photography is very relaxed, soft, and airy. Keep this in mind when choosing your outfits. Example: Relaxed khakis will fit into your surroundings much more than your work khakis. A nice solid t-shirt, sweater, or (relaxed) collared shirt will photograph much better than structured, stiff work shirt.
- Avoid anything with text, logos, or stripes.
- Don’t wear any watches. They are distracting in photos and create a reflection/glare.
Please, let me know if you have any questions as you are choosing your outfits, and definitely feel free to send over photos of ideas/outfits if you’d like some feedback!
Don’t match rather coordinate colors. Choose complementary colors. Example: Brown complements well with orange or blue navy etc. Click here: COLOR COORDINATION
