WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR SESSION?
While some of you know exactly how to whip up an amazing outfit, accessories, shoes etc... most of us have no clue. Now add a pressure of a photo session and needing to look "extra" great, since you want to absolutely love how you look on them, (I don't know about you) but my anxiety goes through the roof. So, naturally, I decided to write some Dos and Don'ts for you. If you are anything like me, read on...
DOS
- Bring options. It is better to have more to choose from. Don't forget to bring matching shoes.
- Wear or bring semi-comfortable shoes, in case we walk from location to location. Those stilettos may not loot so cute after a few blisters.
- Choose timeless outfits. Pretty much 99% of us regret 100% of our 90's outfits today:)
- Use wardrobe that is YOU, that you are comfortable in.
- Wear nicely fitting clothes. Clothes that fit you, your shape, your personality.
- Bring extra clips, hair ties, your makeup for touch-up if needed, and a hair brush.
- Ladies, show off those pumps. High heels make legs look slimmer and give them nice shape.
- Guys, do pay attention to your shoes. They speak volumes. Make sure you wear your nicest, cleanest pair.
- Remember to accentuate what you LOVE about yourself.
- Balance the colors out. Wear colors that compliment each other.
- Find your favorite color scheme, if not sure, neutrals always work. Coordinate shoes, belt, and other accessories from there.
- Wear clothes that are comfortable and easy to sit, kneel etc. in.
- Get your hair, nails, makeup-u done, feel like million $.
- Keep location in mind. Wearing a suit may not fit a farm type location.
- Don't forget layers and accessories. Think, sunglasses, jewelry, belts, hats, caps... Show off YOUR personality! Just make sure they go well with your outfit.
- Have fun!

DON'TS
- Show of your personality, BUT keep it classy and timeless. MC Hammer pants once may have been cool, today, not so much:).
- Don't wear outfits that do not complement your body. Baggy or too tight as an example.
- Avoid inappropriate clothing, if you have to ask - probably is not appropriate.
- Make sure you minimize wardrobe malfunction possibilities (bra straps being most common).
- Don't wear prints, stripes, squares, or any other patters that are too busy.
- Stay away from logos or inappropriate messages on shirts.
- Avoid heavy makeup.
- Remember to take of hair bands of writs and phones/key from pockets.
- Don't be too match. Do not show up wearing all grey for example.
- Avoid clothes that is too revealing, too short or see through.
- Don't wear old or dirty shoes. Also, guys, stay away from open toe shoes.
- Wear tennis shows only if you are going for a super laid back look. Otherwise dress to impress.
- and... don't wear anything that is not YOU, that you do not feel comfortable in. It will show on camera. Wear something that is apologetically YOU!
Hope these Dos and Don'ts were super helpful to you. While most of them are common sense and you probably were already aware of them, I hope a few made you have that "AHA" moment. Looking forward to hearing from you.
