Professional Portrait Session

I honestly don’t have a preference about what you wear –

I can work with almost any outfit, any color, any accessory, as long as you are dressed professionally, with neatly ironed clothing.

I do have a few “favorite things” that will make your professional portrait photography session easier and more polished, while still focusing on what makes you, you.

  • Layers are great! Jackets, scarves, vests, and sweaters are great additions to an outfit because they add texture and dimension. They’re subtle pieces that can add touches of your personality and style to your portraits
  • When choosing a shirt or dress, the most important thing to consider is the neckline. Don’t wear a big turtleneck or a too-tight collar, or a too loose collar. And ladies, skip the cleavage revealing top. For men, I don’t think a tie is always necessary for a professional portrait photography session, but it should be neatly tied and fit well.
  • I personally love jewelry and if you wear it normally, definitely wear it to your professional portrait photography session! Very large necklaces and earrings can be a bit distracting, so I do tend to recommend smaller pieces. However, if you are known for your statement necklaces, wear them!
  • As for glasses, I get asked this a lot. If you wear glasses, wear glasses in your images. It’s a part of who you are.
  • Avoid pure black and white.
  • Bold colors that work with your skin and hair tones are the best for your professional portrait photography session. I don’t generally recommend prints, because I think they can appear to busy and compete with your face for control of the image, but if you are a bold pattern person, don’t shy away.
