I'm going to start a few segment called 'Simply Styled'. One thing that many families regularly ask me, WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?!?! I'll keep my list really simple and each time give a few different tips:
-Let your clothing reflect your style. If you like cowboy hats, wear cowboy hats! If you never wear a suit and tie...you guessed it, don't wear a suit and tie. It's important that your portraits reflect your personality!
-Try to have similar color tones in your family's clothing selection. You don't have to all wear the same shirt! In my example above {I love gray and orange right now} everyone's color tones are complimentary and similar.
-Dress to match your walls. What I mean by this is if your front room {where you will be displaying your photos} has an olive green couch, deep mustard accent pillows, black accents have your clothing choices be similar. Wear rich earth tones that come from the same color family. You do not have to wear the exact colors of your home decor but your family portraits will not blend into the feel of your room if you wear bright colors.
Happy Friday!
Awesome post! I just recently learned that families should think about where they will hang their portraits so they can dress accordingly to match! (= Great job-you're the first I've seen to mention this little detail! (= If I get around to it I might mention this on my website too...If that's ok?!
