What to Wear

Outfits

• Plan your outfits. Think about colors that go well together, outfits that make sense with the location, and outfits that will give your session continuity or a nice variety.
• Avoid noticeable logos or overly busy patterns.
• Plan 1 or 2 outfits for your session and bring an extra 1 or 2 if you’re unsure. If your session is on location, outfit changes may not be possible. Plan layers and accessories to change up your look.

Accessories

• Consider details and accessories. Wear or bring hats, headbands, hair clips, jewelry, scarves, and gloves.
• Wear and bring layers such as jackets, sweaters, vests, and cardigans. Layers add interest and create variety.

Details

• Don’t forget the little details. Get a fresh hair cut for your session. If you color your hair, get it freshly colored but not right before your session to avoid visible color around your hairline and on your skin.
• Get a manicure, and pedicure if you’ll be wearing sandals. Or give yourself one so your nail polish is not chipped and your nails are nicely shaped.
• Shave a few hours before your session but not right before to avoid visible irritation.
• Look your best! Style your hair your favorite way, wear your makeup your favorite way, pick outfits you love and like how you look in. If you're buying new pieces for your outfit, try them on a few times before your session to get comfortable in them.

Props & Pets

• Bring any props you’d like to include in your session.
• Consider a blanket to sit on and what props could add to your session. Look for ideas and pick things that reflect you.
• If you are bringing a pet ask a friend to come along to walk them or sit with them when they are not being included in the photos.

First Outfit

• Come to your session in your first outfit and with your hair and makeup done.
