I get asked all the time what is best wear and honestly, putting a little bit of thought into the styling really does go a long way! So think about the colours that will naturally appear at the location we have chosen for your shoot and try to tie them in to your wardrobe choices. This will help to create timeless, natural and beautifully coordinated images, where the focus in on the people in the photos and what they are wearing will then naturally fit perfectly.

You may find it useful to think of a colour palette and work towards that, for example, for a summertime countryside scene with long brown and green grass, I would choose the following colours as they naturally occur in the setting, and then choose the outfits to match;







My recommended colours for most outdoor sessions, would be;
Neutrals- Ivory, cream, soft white, oatmeal and light tans
Pastels- Dusty rose, sage green, powder blue
Earthy tones- Terracotta, rust, olive
Denim- Light or medium wash jeans

Colours to avoid if you can;
Neon
Black
Bright red
Bold patterns or logos


You may find it easier to dress Mum first, then you can co-ordinate the rest of the families outfits to match. A little hint of the same colour in everyones outfit works really well!

I also find that adding layers, textures, hats and knits really do add an extra beautiful dimension to the photographs, so do have fun with the styling!
