GETTING READY
A COMMON QUESTION THAT GETS ASKED WHEN PLANNING A SESSION IS 'WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?' I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO DISCUSS YOUR CLOTHING CHOICES & GIVE YOU GUIDANCE
choosing your COLOUR PALETTE
TRY TO PICK A COLOUR PALETTE OF 2-4 COLOURS. THIS IS A GREAT STARTING POINT. THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO THINK IN TERMS OF TONES: BLUES, PINKS, EARTHY, PASTELS, NEUTRALS.
EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEIR OWN STYLE WITHIN THE CHOSEN COLOUR PALETTE AND EVERYONES OUTFIT WILL CO-ORDINATE BEAUTIFULLY.
aim TO COMPLIMENT
TRY NOT TO HAVE MUM & DAUGHTER WEARING THE SAME PATTERNED DRESS, OR DAD & SON WEARING THE SAME BLUE SHIRT AND MATCHING JEANS.
INSTEAD, TRY TO COMPLIMENT EACH-OTHERS OUTFITS BY CHOOSING COLOURS THAT WORK WELL TOGETHER (REMEMBER WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE COLOUR PALETTE?).
IF EVERYONE IS WEARING THE SAME THING THERE WON'T BE MUCH POP TO YOUR IMAGES & I WANT EVERYONE TO STAND OUT INDIVIDUALLY!
MUTED COLOURS & TEXTURE
MUTED COLOURS LOOK BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER IN PHOTOS BUT WHEN CHOOSING PATTERNS, USE SMALLER ONES THAT WON'T PULL ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE SUBJECTS & ONLY PUT ONE PERSON IN PATTERN IF POSSIBLE. TOO MANY PATTERNS CAN LOOK TOO MUCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE WANT THE FOCUS ON YOU!
IN TERMS OF TEXTURE, THINK OF DIFFERENT ONES TO GIVE YOUR PHOTOS SOME INTEREST AND DEPTH SUCH AS LACE, CORDUROY, DENIM OR KNITS. THESE WILL REALLY GIVE YOUR IMAGES DEFINITION AND LOOK GREAT TOGETHER
KEEP IT NATURAL
WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS SUCH AS MAKE-UP, TRY TO KEEP IT NATURAL! TRY TO AVOID ANY HEAVY OR BRIGHT MAKE UP. THIS WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THE BEAUTY OF YOUR FACE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS. REMEMBER THE SAYING 'LESS IS MORE'
* EXAMPLE OF A COLOUR PALETTE
ACCESSORIES
ACCESSORIES WORK WELL FOR ALL AGES AND REALLY BRING OUT YOUR PERSONALITIES! BRING ANY YOU THINK WORK WELL WITH YOUR OUTFITS.
ACCESSORIES ARE NOT REQUIRED SO PLEASE DON'T FEEL PRESSURED INTO WEARING SOMETHING THAT HAS TO MATCH YOUR OUTFIT. IF ACCESSORIES AREN'T FOR YOU THEN DON'T WORRY! YOUR SESSION WILL BE AMAZING REGARDLESS.
