What to wear for my Fall photo shoot?
After booking your Fall portrait session, the first thing likely on your mind is “What should we all wear?” Followed by a minor panic, inventory run down of what’s in your closet, what fits, and what coordinates. And then likely a trip to the mall. I thought I’d post a few of my favorite looks from last year. This will help give you some ideas and color palettes to work with.
Select a color family and coordinate pieces. Pick a few colors that tie everyone’s outfits together. Simple non-busy patterns, layering and accessories can complete your look.
Consider where you’ll display your portraits and what the colors are in your room. If you have lots of deep rich, warm colors in your living room, stick with deep rich warm colors.
Consider the location of your session and what the season is like. The fall can give us many many different looks from brilliant fall leaves to neutral muted colors as the season fades.
Consider the weather, and be flexible! I recommend layering your outfits, just incase it happens to be warm that day. You can remove pieces and get a new look. You could opt for scarves, vests, and sweaters. They can add character and personality to your photos.
Don’t forget about footwear. They often show in family photos, so make sure you are ok with what you are wearing. Most importantly, make sure your socks match your shoes.
Wear what looks good on you!! By all means wear something you feel good in. If you dress yourself last, and only to fit into what everyone else is wearing, you won’t like your photos. I’m speaking mainly to the moms who are doing the coordinating. Do not put yourself last in this. In fact start with your outfit first. I promise you’ll like the end product so much more.
