Hey there, lovely moms and high school seniors! Planning your daughter's senior photo session can be both exciting and daunting, especially when it comes to choosing the perfect outfits. But fear not! As your personal photographer and stylist at Pittsburgh Senior Photos, I'm here to share my top tips for coordinating outfits like a pro:
1. Start with Your Daughter's Style: Before diving into outfit selection, take some time to consider your daughter's personal style. Does she prefer casual and comfy or chic and elegant? Encourage her to choose outfits that reflect her personality and make her feel confident and beautiful.
2. Consider the Location: Think about the location of the photo session when choosing outfits. If we're shooting in a natural setting like a park or garden, opt for earthy tones and flowy fabrics that complement the surroundings. For urban shoots, bold colors and modern silhouettes can make a statement against city backdrops.
3. Mix and Match Textures and Patterns: Don't be afraid to mix and match textures and patterns to add visual interest to your daughter's outfits. Pair a chunky knit sweater with a flowy skirt or layer different patterns like stripes and florals for a fun and eclectic look.
4. Stick to a Color Palette: To ensure cohesiveness in your daughter's photos, choose a color palette of two to three complementary colors and build her outfits around them. This will create a harmonious and visually pleasing result without being too matchy-matchy.
5. Avoid Logos and Busy Prints: While it's fun to express personal interests through clothing, logos and busy prints can be distracting in photos. Opt for timeless and classic pieces that won't compete with your daughter's natural beauty and the scenic backdrop.
6. Add Layers and Accessories: Layering is key to creating depth and dimension in photos. Encourage your daughter to experiment with different layers like cardigans, jackets, scarves, and hats to add visual interest to her outfits. Don't forget to accessorize with statement jewelry, belts, and shoes for the perfect finishing touch.
7. Dress for the Season: Consider the season and weather conditions when selecting outfits for the photo session. Choose breathable fabrics and lightweight layers for summer shoots, while cozy sweaters and boots are perfect for fall and winter sessions.
8. Plan Ahead and Try Outfits On: Avoid last-minute wardrobe stress by planning your daughter's outfits well in advance of the photo session. Encourage her to try on each outfit to ensure proper fit and comfort, and make any necessary adjustments ahead of time.
9. Be Flexible and Have Fun: Lastly, remember that the goal of the photo session is to capture your daughter's personality and style in a fun and relaxed environment. Be flexible and open to spontaneous outfit changes or location suggestions, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy the experience together!
