What you wear to your session DOES impact how your photos will turn out!
Colors
Every season is so different, but one thing is the same for any time of the year.. wear colors that stand out, not blend in! Now I don't mean you and the other people your taking pictures with should all wear bright red, the best way to make your pictures stand out is to add a POP of color! You can do that with jewelry or in other small ways, your whole outfit doesn't necessarily need to stand out!
Seasons
It is import to always dress for the weather! If you are too cold or too hot, it does show in your photos! Also try to avoid wearing a winter jacket if possible, unless it goes with your outfit and you're leaving it unzipped! Wearing a jacket that isn't apart of your outfit will stick out in your photos, and usually not in a good way! In the winter, wear layers! In the summer, wear light fabrics!
Spring:
Between the end of winter and the start of summer, it may appear to be a little "blah" outside, but personally I think it makes for a beautiful background in photos! Wearing a bright pop of color like red, or a dark and bold color like black will stand out perfect against the colorless background!
Summer:
Two big colors I would avoid wearing in the summer is green and yellow because of all of the trees and other plants that are in full bloom during that time of the year! wearing white or black pops great against a vibrant green/yellow background! Summer is also the perfect time to put on your favorite dress and come cute sandals! Wear lighter fabrics so you aren't too hot in the summer sun!
Fall:
Picking the right outfit for fall photos can be tricky! People often choose to wear "fall colors" like reds, oranges, and yellows, in hopes of accenting the fall trees. I would recommend against doing that, unless you know what the background of the location, wearing those three colors can make you blend into the trees and other fall scenery! I would recommend wearing black, white, or other neutral colors so you stand out against the trees and not blend in!
Winter:
Wearing colors that really pop against the snow, such as red, always looks great in the winter months! Be sure to avoid wearing too much white or blue because of the color and blue tones of snow! It is also a great idea to wear layers so you are warm enough with out having to wear a big winter coat! Winter is the perfect season to embrace "sweater weather", put on your favorite pair of jeans, some cute booties, and accessorize!
DO:
- Wear what makes YOU feel confident!
- Coordinate with the other people in the photos
DON'T:
- Wear something you don't feel comfortable in
- Match with the person(s) in the photos
