Keep It Classic
For a timeless look, opt for neutral tones (cream, beige, grey, navy, or soft pastels) and simple, well-fitted clothing. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, or overly trendy styles that may date your photos over time.
Coordinate, Don’t Match
For group portraits with family or loved ones, aim for coordinating colours rather than identical outfits. Choose a colour palette and have each person wear variations of those shades for a harmonious look.
Consider Your Style & Personality
Your outfit should reflect your personality while complementing the elegant studio setting. Whether you prefer a polished, formal look or something more relaxed and natural, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Texture & Layers Add Depth
Knits, linen, and subtle textures photograph beautifully, adding depth and richness to your portraits. Consider layering with a cardigan, jacket, or scarf for variety in your session.
Avoid Distracting Elements
Stay away from neon colours, bold patterns, or graphics that can draw attention away from you. Solid colours or subtle prints work best to keep the focus on expressions and emotions.
Timeless Accessories & Grooming
Minimal jewellery, clean and polished shoes, and natural makeup enhance your look without overpowering it. If you’re due for a haircut or grooming, plan it a few days before your session to ensure a fresh yet natural look.
Special Considerations for Different Sessions
Children & Babies: Soft, comfortable clothing in muted tones works best. Bare feet are often a lovely touch and avoid the photo appearing outdated in years to come.
Christmas: Classic Christmas shades like deep red, emerald green, navy, gold, or winter whites always look beautiful. Soft neutrals with a pop of festive colour work well too.
