Frequently Asked Questions.
Q1: What should I wear for a maternity or family photoshoot?
The clothes you wear for your session have a huge impact on your gallery. Here are some tips that can help you choose your outfit: Flowing skirts and dresses; neutral and earthy tones are always winners. Solid colors and subtle patterns tend to photograph better. Also it can be a great idea to color coordinate. One way to go is to use one color in some of the garments or accessories (can be in different shades) and then keep the rest of the colors neutral. Another idea is using a lot of neutrals and only a small amount of more bold colors. I would suggest staying away from graphic prints and a lot of black ( A little bit of black is not a big deal and black pants or shorts work ok though).
