Let’s Explore What To Wear To Our Photoshoot
From maternity shoots within the home to family photography out in nature, the age old question returns.
“What should I wear to my photoshoot?”
Let’s wander down this path together and explore the ensemble that will make you feel at home in front of the camera.
Think of items that ooze comfort
Casual. Comfort. Confidence.
This is what we’re chasing. We want you to step in front of my lens feeling as quintessentially you as possible. The items you choose to wear are a significant element in making this happen.
Before our photoshoot, slide open your wardrobe and explore what stands out.
Does it bring you joy?
Does it make you feel at home?
Does it exude warmth and calm?
If you’ve answered yes to all, that’s the item we can start with. The key to finding this perfect item is to consider what brings out your calm, comfort and confidence. Whether you’ve done it before or it’s your first time, baring your family to the open eye of a lens can be daunting. By carefully selecting items that bring calm, comfort and confidence, we’re transforming the photoshoot into a more relaxed adventure.
The beauty is in the detail
Fabrics, prints and styles. These are all considerations we need to make.
Materials like linen, denim and light cotton always photograph beautifully. They’re soft, calm and ooze comfort, especially valued in family photography.
Flowing styles and floral prints are also a wonderful option. If you’re considering opting for family photography outdoors, these styles will complement the natural environment exquisitely.
The only items to steer clear of are those with large writing. This is especially important when capturing those special moments with your children, as their clothing tends to be loud in pattern or in detail. We want you and your loved ones to be the sole focus, so opt for neutral prints where possible.
Sometimes less is more
When we venture into maternity and new born photography, I often find less is more.
Bathers. Underwear. Robes.
The relaxed nature of these garments, especially when complemented with soft pastels and neutral tones, give the photos a calming quality. This forms an aura of effortless ease, bringing a natural feel to the most intimate and joyful moments of life and family.
It may feel daunting to bare these intimate insights into your life, so we’ll work together to make the experience seamless for you and your loved ones.
