How to select outfits for family photos - autumn and winter
Clothes are.. .well, clothes. They are a daily necessity, they reflect our personality.
And clothes are crucial for the photos to turn out great - imagine the two children above wearing say stripy leggins and pink Peppa Pig sweatshirt and blue and red Spider Man t-shirt. Won't be exactly the same, right?
Choose colours that you like looking at, because they will remain on the photos for a long time. Pick up to 4 main colours which coordinate. Everybody should not wear same colours, but the colours should look good together. Consider location where your photo-session will take place - your outfits should match the location without making you blend in with the environment. For instance, wearing all yellow outfit in yellow autumn forest may not be the best idea :-)
Colours should not be bright - it is distracting in the photos, we want the focus to be you and your beautiful smiles!
Suggested colours for autumn - shades of brown and burgundy, shades of blue. Suggested patterns - tartan, small floral or embroidery. If the day is not too cold - consider layering instead of wearing jackets. For footwear - boots or smart casual shoes. Wellies can be an option for outdoor photo-shoot too. Avoid - shoes which are not comfortable for walking, bright colourful sport shoes. And colourful or sport style jackets and coats - their bright colours often create unflattering reflections on faces in photos. If the day is not too cold - consider layering instead of coats and jackets.
Try to pick clothes which are smart and look classic, again because the photos will make a memory for a long time.
Avoid too many patterns, big patterns, characters and printed logos on t-shirts. They are distracting especially in group photos.
Make-up does not need to be more or darker/brighter colors than usual.
Accessories like scarf or hat or necklace add nice detail to photos, so if you have a favourite piece that suits the idea and location where we do photos - take it.
