Live. Laugh. Photograph. | Wardrobe 101 | What should I wear to my session?

A common question I get when scheduling and planning sessions is, “What should I wear to my session?” One day, I hope to have an entire Live. Laugh. Photograph. style guide available to you. For now, I will share a few basic tips!

  • Go bold or go home! I love bold colors and really hope you don’t show up to your photography session wearing matching white shirts. To be honest, that’s really not my style and if that’s what your vision is for your photos then we might not be the best match. Matching white shirts = BORING! I always tell people to coordinate colors by wearing outfits that are in the same color family.
  • Add layers to yourself. Layering is a great way to bring in other colors, patterns and fabrics. Look around your closet and pull out that old orange scarf!
  • Accessorize and add details! Wear tasteful jewelry, interesting shoes, hats, etc.
  • Stay away from Logos!
  • Little girls look super cute in pettiskirts, tutus, and giant bows.
  • Rock your little boy out in vintage tee and converse shoes.
  • Wear something you feel good in!

Here is a visual guide to coordinating clothes and some color family ideas! I hope it helps!

Love the images that actually show the client what to wear! Yes, the question of what to wear ALWAYS comes up and this is a great way to convey your point. (I found you from the IHF forum asking a question about second shooting weddings.)
