Helping You Shine in Every Shot

Welcome to my Client Style Guide! I’m thrilled to collaborate with you to capture memorable moments. This guide offers insights and tips to help you select outfits that reflect your personality and complement our photography style.

Understanding Your Session

Session Type: Whether it’s a family portrait, engagement shoot, or professional headshot, tailoring your attire to the session type enhances the storytelling aspect of your photos.

Location: The setting plays a crucial role in determining suitable outfits. For instance, a beach session might call for light, airy clothing, while an urban backdrop could be complemented by more structured attire.

General Styling Tips

Comfort is Key: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Your ease will naturally reflect in the photos.

Coordinate, Don’t Match: For group sessions, opt for complementary colours and styles rather than identical outfits. This approach adds depth and visual interest to the images.

Consider the Location: Align your clothing choices with the session setting. For example, soft pastels and neutrals work beautifully in natural environments, while bold colours might stand out in urban settings.

Color Palette Suggestions

Neutral Tones: Whites, creams, greys, and soft pastels offer a timeless and elegant look.

Earthy Hues: Tans, browns, muted greens, and rust tones blend beautifully with natural settings.

Accent Colours: Incorporate subtle pops of colour through accessories to add personality without overwhelming the composition.

Patterns and Textures

Subtle Patterns: Soft florals, thin stripes, or delicate prints can add interest without distracting.

Textures: Incorporate textures like knits, lace, or linen to add depth to your photos.

Avoid Large Logos: Steer clear of clothing with prominent branding or text, as they can divert attention from the main subjects—you and your loved ones.

Accessorizing

Keep It Simple: Minimalistic jewelry, classic watches, or subtle scarves can enhance your look without stealing the spotlight.

Layers: Adding layers like cardigans, jackets, or shawls can provide versatility and movement to your photos.

Footwear: Choose shoes that are both comfortable and appropriate for the location. Remember, they might appear in some shots.

Final Preparations

Rest Well: Ensure you’re well-rested before the session to look and feel your best.

Hydrate and Nourish: Drink plenty of water and have a light meal to maintain energy levels.

Bring Essentials: Pack a small bag with touch-up makeup, a comb or brush, and any personal items you might need.
