One of the most often asked questions when I book a session is “What should we wear?” It’s an overwhelming thing, to coordinate outfits for a number of people that will all end up looking cohesive, while staying comfortable.
I always tell clients to stay true to themselves and their personalities. Don’t wear something that a friend would see you in and wonder what you were thinking. Mix colors and styles and patterns for texture and you can’t go wrong.
My sister and I recently coordinated a shoot with 14 grandchildren and great-grandchildren in our family for my mom for Christmas. It was not easy! So to help everyone out I created a styleboard in the colors we had chosen: purple, teal and yellow. Keeping in mind that this styleboard is for kids under the age of 10, you can translate them into styles for adults as well. I loved how it turned out and hope you can get some inspiration from it!
Now the resulting picture was much more difficult than we had envisioned. We had perfect sunny weather for a week leading up to the shoot and then the night before our scheduled day a cold front blew in leaving us with 30 degree temps and very cold, very frustrated babies! I think it’s still adorable!
