Frequently asked questions
What feelings should my clothing choices evoke during the photoshoot?
Aim for clothing that makes you feel a sense of connection, confidence, authenticity, and timelessness. Your attire should enhance these feelings, allowing your true self to shine through in your photos.
What are common mistakes people make when choosing outfits for a photoshoot?
Common mistakes include being too matchy-matchy, wearing clothing with busy patterns and large logos, ignoring the photoshoot setting, wearing ill-fitted clothing, clashing colors, and not considering appropriate footwear. To avoid these, plan your outfits carefully, considering the location and overall aesthetic.
How should I dress for a beach photoshoot?
Opt for flowy maxi dresses, linen shirts, or cotton fabrics. Consider going barefoot or wearing sandals. Soft tones like cream, sand, light blue, or sage work beautifully. Avoid dark colors, overly formal attire, and high heels or dirty shoes.
How can I ensure my clothing choices reflect my personality and style in photos?
Wear what feels like you, but a little more polished. If you're usually casual, wear a well-fitted button-up and clean jeans instead of a suit. If you're fashion-forward, don’t hold back on statement pieces—just make sure they don’t overwhelm the photo. The goal is to enhance, not overshadow, your personality.
How can I avoid clashing colors in group photos?
Coordinate colors by choosing a complementary palette. Soft, muted tones or shades of the same color family often work well together. Avoid overly bright or contrasting colors that can distract from the subjects.
Should I bring multiple outfits to my photoshoot?
Bringing multiple outfits is a great idea! It allows for variety in your photos and ensures you have options to suit different settings or moods. Consult with your photographer beforehand about the number of outfits and their styles.
