Things to consider before you start shopping:
- Where you’re planning to use the photos? Seriously, if you want a new family portrait for your living room then you should consider the decor when planning your shoot. Colours clash and certain style work better together,
- Locations – A simple tip to remember is busy locations mean plain outfits and plan locations mean busy outfits.
- Seasons – We’ve all had those days when we experience all four seasons in one day. Make sure you factor in the weather and consider layers you could use if the weather shifts.
- Cohesive shouldn’t have to mean matching You want to try and minimise contrast within the outfits themselves. So no greens and oranges together and no junky kits with silky.
- The best clothes for you You should be comfortable and you should be you. While its nice to get dressed up and look your best, but make sure its still you. You want to recognise the beauty family later on. Deeper colours work well on the adults while lighter or brighter for the kids.
