A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE YOUR CLOTHES FOR THE SHOOT.

 

A warm welcome


I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR SHOOT



You've probably already asked yourself what you should wear to a photo shoot. You're not alone in this. For most people, the right outfit is actually the biggest worry before a shoot. But don't worry. I won't leave you alone with this. In this guide, you'll find tried-and-tested tips for choosing the right clothes. You are also welcome to send me a selection of outfits in advance and we can look over them together. It's important to me that you wear what you feel comfortable in. You can therefore ignore all the tips and come as you like.


Do you have any questions about our shoot? Or is there anything else I can help you with? Then please write to me or give me a call.



I'm looking forward to it!

THE COLORS

 

 

A family holding hands and walking together along a scenic beach with waves crashing on the sandy shore in Huntington Beach.

Light colors are better than dark ones. They should also not be too bright, because then it reflects on the faces and makes them colorful.

 

 

TOGETHER

 

 

People enjoy family time spending quality moments together eating watermelon on the beach in Newport Beach.

Coordinated, but not the same. Not good: all in blue/white. It's better if groups make a little use of the complementary colors.

 

 

LOGOS

 

 

A family wearing white outfits shares tender moments together on a beach at sunset near the water's edge.

As a parent, you can't avoid Paw Patrol & Co. For shooting, large prints are more of a nuisance.

 

 

THE CURVES

Every figure has something that can be emphasized. A blouse tucked loosely into jeans emphasizes the waist. A wide dress is given shape thanks to a belt.

 

 

PATTERN

 

 

Couple with their kid walks along beach sand and water during golden hour creating candid romantic moment at sunset in Huntington Beach.

Small checks can sometimes flicker. And a wild mix of patterns is too much. But if one person comes in plain colors and one with a pattern, that's wonderful.

 

 

FEEL GOOD

A photo shoot is a special occasion. But it's not a

“dress-up day”.
