#1 Tip when Styling Families for a Photography Session

As a photographer, my most common questions I hear from my clients is, “What should we wear?” I love this question as when you dress your family for everyday life is DRASTICALLY different the dressing them for a photography session. That being said I want my family’s true personalities to come out in the photos and that can’t come through if mom is wearing a ball gown in which she never wears! So #1 rule, like what you are wearing that does express who you are as a family. But more specifically, my #1 tip when families ask, “What should we wear” is

Choose colors that are slightly off from it’s true color so Red becomes Rust, for Yellow choose Mustard, and so on…

That’s it! Now my family will choose clothes they are comfortable in and in colors that make a pleasing portrait.
