Focus on choosing colours, tones and textures that will compliment each other and your home. Consider coordinating your outfits to your home décor, as you will be displaying your photos on your walls. For example, if your house is decorated in white muted tones, avoid wearing bright and bold outfits. Patterns can be a great way to add interest and texture but try to keep busy patterns to a minimum. If someone in your family loves to wear florals for instance, have everyone else wear plain colours that compliment the pattern. A great tip that works well is to gather your outfits together and lay them on the bed, this is a way to see if they coordinate together. You can switch it up if something isn’t working.

What to avoid:

Logos or text on clothing is distracting. Avoid large or bright logos. Checks, Plaids or thin stripes can distort depending on angles and should be avoided.  Neon colours can reflect onto your face, causing skin tone to look off, they will also draw all the attention.

Extra details to consider:

If you are wearing nail polish, make sure it is a colour that fits in with your colour scheme.  Check your child/children's hands - remove any pen or nail polish the night before. Trying to remove pen marks from hands just before a session can leave red marks. Style hair naturally, be mindful of long fringes that might fall across the face and consider clipping it out of their face. For the males if they need haircuts try and get them the week before to give it a little time to settle. Having chapstick handy for dry lips is also a bonus.
