What to Wear for your Spring Session | Photoshoot Styling Tips | Vancouver, BC

Need ideas for your Spring photo shoot? Not sure what colors or styles work best? As part of our full-service photography you not only have access to our client closet, we also give you styling tips out of your own closet for the whole family. Whether you have a maternity, newborn or family session coming up we’ve got you covered!

When deciding what to wear some things to take in consideration are:

1) Location - why is this important? When it comes to wardrobe, matching neutral tones and colors to the background or outdoor location of your shoot is something you definitely want to take into consideration. If you want a light and airy feel to your images; avoid bright, patterned and contrasting bold colors that can be distracting. You want to dress to compliment your surroundings.

2) Cohesiveness - Does the whole family have to wear the same color? The answer - while we love monochrome, no, outfits do not need to be the same colors but they do have to coordinate! Outfits should compliment skin tone, other family members, and make sense for the season. For Spring color palettes we recommend: white, cream, beige or tan, sage green, light blue, grey and blush pink.

3) Comfort - I truly believe when you feel comfortable and relaxed that translates to natural and beautiful photos. We all have parts of our body that we are self-conscious about - for me it’s my arms! In this case, wearing a sleeveless dress might not make you feel your best self or most confident, so let’s find something you’ll feel amazing in instead!
