What To Wear

Avoid matching colours

While it's a classic choice to match colours, avoid perfectly matching outfits for your family or couple lifestyle photography session. Instead, opt for complementary colours or closely related tones.

By doing so, you'll maintain a cohesive look without appearing too uniform or dated, giving your photos a fresh and modern aesthetic.

Solid colours or patterns, but not for both

When selecting your attire, it's important to strike a balance between solid colours and patterns. Coordinate with your partner or family and decide who will wear the outfit with a pattern and who will stick to solid colours.

If one person opts for a patterned piece, the other should choose solid colours to avoid clashing patterns. Alternatively, if everyone prefers patterns, ensure they are minimal or subtle to maintain visual harmony in the photographs.

Match the location

Consider the location of your lifestyle photography session when choosing your outfits. Select clothing that complements the natural surroundings and enhances the overall atmosphere of the location. Earthy tones such as greens, blues, browns, and creams often work well in outdoor settings, blending harmoniously with nature.

Additionally, consider the season and weather conditions when planning your attire to ensure comfort and suitability for the environment. By matching your clothing to the location, you'll create a cohesive visual narrative that highlights the beauty of both your family or relationship and the natural surroundings.
