What to Wear?

This is probably the most asked question in the photography business.  What is worn in your portraits should reflect who you are, what your style is.  The key to a beautiful portrait is simplicity.  No large logos or words.  Subtle prints, solid colors, clean lines and not a lot of fuss is a must.  Most of all, the outfit should be COMFORTABLE.  Kids are not likely to have fun and be themselves when they are stuffed into restraining or "itchy" clothing. 

For the Autumn season, it's all about color and texture.  Golds, Browns, Creams, Burgundy and Green colors photograph beautiful with the warmer glow of the season.  Don't forget about texture!  Corduroy, Cable knit sweaters, and Denim give depth to your portraits.  You also can't go wrong with the classics of khaki, denim and white.  We've put together a few visual suggestions of clothing that combines both color and texture, and that will help translate the feeling of the season into your portraits.  **Click on the picture for a better view***
