Welcome back to another round of “Let’s Make Life Easier for Your Photographer”! This series isn’t here to pick on you (seriously, we adore our clients). Instead, I'm offering a playful glimpse into the little quirks that sometimes make photographers scratch their heads. Remember, we’re on the same team—we both want your photos to be amazing! So, let’s dive into something that can make or break those dreamy pictures: what you wear to your session.

Wardrobe Red Flags: Don’t Let Your Clothes Ruin Your Pics

Here’s the thing about wardrobe choices: they’re not just about looking good—they’re about feeling good and making sure your outfit fits the vibe of your session. Picture this: you’re standing in a gorgeous field at sunset, and your outfit is doing all the screaming for you—a highlighter yellow tank top and pants with enough pattern to make a kaleidoscope jealous. It’s… a choice. But it might not be the one that lets you shine.

When in doubt, think timeless. Neutrals, simple patterns, and flattering fits are your best friends here. They never go out of style and let you be the focus, not your clothes. Want a pop of color? Great! Just keep it classy—a bold scarf, a chic jacket, or some subtle statement jewelry can go a long way. On the flip side, avoid anything overly trendy or busy; while that giant paisley jumpsuit might scream fashion icon today, in five years, it’s going to whisper “what was I thinking?”

And if you’re lost in the wardrobe wilderness, don’t worry! Photographers have your back. Reach out for tips. You can even dig through this blog for outfit inspiration, and remember: your photographer has likely seen everything. We can gently nudge you toward choices that highlight you rather than overshadow you, ensuring you look and feel incredible in every shot.
