What to Wear

Anything you like that you feel comfortable in. The session is all about capturing the essence of your family and your child.  Funny hats, gumboots, even ballet tutus and other accessories are fantastic.  However, we recommend you stay away from any clothing with name brands, pictures, or words on them, which can be terribly distracting and give the photographs a dated look. Brand names are in fashion one week and out the next. If you prefer a classic feel, simple plain clothing can also provide a timeless look.  This option is also best for parents, if family photos are to be taken.  You are welcome (and encouraged!) to bring several different wardrobe changes to give your session a bit of variety.

A few no-no’s. Shorts or 3/4 cargo pants on guys just don’t photograph well. A simple pair of jeans works great. Singlets are out for everybody over the age of 4. V neck blouses for ladies are more complimentary  than scooped necks. Long sleeves for ladies are also a plus.

For family photographs, we  recommend dressing everyone in clothes that complement each other.  For example, you might dress everyone in creams, greens, and browns, or some other omplimenting colour scheme.  You don’t need to dress everyone in the same colour or outfit,  which can look unnatural.

Feel free to bring along anything you might want to photograph WITH your child.  If they have a favourite toy or blanket, they love tea parties or skateboarding, model airplanes, or even if they like dressing up as a fairy princess or a superhero…these are the things that you will look back on and remember with fondness when they are grown. One of my own personal favourite photos is of my son, (who was married recently), in a spiderman outfit.

The finer points of what to wear will be discussed at the pre portrait session. Give us a call now on 07 3847 2235 to arrange for your family portrait.
