What to Wear for a Photo Session

Most clients who schedule a portrait session, whether a business or casual family portrait, want to know… What do we wear to optimize our look??  It’s really quite simple, according to television news anchor and medical journalist, Heidi Godman:

“I’ve had to pose for publicity photos for the last 25 years. I generally
choose something that’s dark and authoritative with a pop of color, and I
always make sure that I like the outfit and feel comfortable and confident
in it, because it definitely helps your personality shine through.”

For women, the pop can come from a scarf, jewelry, blouse, jacket or other accessory.  The clothing doesn’t have to be dark – just as long as you feel your best in your wardrobe selection!  For men, the shirt or tie combined with a great jacket/suit.  Groups: complementary colors are a draw.

A recent business shoot went perfectly, after the female client took Heidi’s advice!!  She arrived with three great outfits, accessories.  The hour-long shoot resulted in well over 100 wonderful images and a happy client!
