6 quick tips.... What to wear for a family photo

​It's that time of year again, and you want to update your family portrait.
Just in time for Father's Day
 
You may be thinking of booking a professional photographer to capture your portrait, or you may take it yourself with a selfie stick – however you decide to capture your family and memories, check out our quick tip guide on what to wear, so you can look your very best for your artwork.

• Wear solid coloured clothing. Loud colours and patterns will draw attention to your clothing, and not the subject. Remember darker colours are more slimming too! Try and avoid logo and slogan t-shirts, these will date and go out of fashion.
• Which colours shall I wear? If there is more than one person being photographed together, pick three colours that complement each other from similar and complimenting colour palettes.
• Choose sleeved tops, or at least sleeves to the elbows. No sleeves or short sleeve tops draws attention to arms.
• Plain dark socks. Inside the studio I do suggest going barefoot, or at least matching dark socks with everyone being photographed.
• Hairstyles. Style your hair as you normally would. Why? Often clients will try a ‘new do’ on the day of the photo shoot, and when they see their pictures – they are not happy with their hair. If you do fancy a new style for your photo shoot, try it out before or have a professional stylist appointment before your session.
• Jewellery. Keep jewellery minimalist so it doesn’t distract from the subject in the photo. Simple jewellery will remain timeless for generations.
