{what to wear Wednesday} Central Minnesota Photographer

The most common question I get asked right after a client calls to book a photo session with me is "what should we wear". I always tell people to dress a notch or two up from what you would normally wear. If you don't wear a tie normally, than don't wear one for the session. I don't like people to match. I like outfits to coordinate. What is the difference?? Instead of everyone wearing the same exact color, everyone should wear colors that are similar or work well together. I usually tell people to pick two to three colors and work from there. Or having neutrals and picking a color and tie it through the outfits.
I know I am jumping the gun as there is 2 feet of snow on the ground and it is below zero. But it will be gone before you know it (fingers crossed) and the spring fashions are soooo darn cute this season!
Here is an example of a family session. You can see that the main color is blue or light weight denium, with a little splash of color from the little girl's dress.


The next is for a little man. This outfit would work for a winter session as well as an early spring session. I love, love layers. They photograph so well, and also offers different options. You can even add his favorite baseball cap, or scarf depending on the weather.



The next is all about spring! I just love green and the accesories for this little girl's outfit. Even taking this outfit and making it more casual and fun, you could swap out the black dress for a sun dress, and mary janes for rain boots.



I hope this helps in selecting your fashion for your photo session. So it isn't too early...in fact it the perfect time to shop for your familys' clothing and schedule your spring session with JGP.
