One of the most common questions I get from clients..."what the heck do I wear and I how do I coordinate outfits?!" So if you're here wondering the same thing, you're not alone. I've put together a quick list of tips for ya, and honestly I've always turned to pinterest for all of my photo outfit inspiration--so that's always a good place to scroll for ideas, here's my couples outfit board and family outfit board in case you like pinterest as much as me!

my outfit planning advice:

1. My BIGGEST piece of advice, like if you stop reading right now at least take this one tip: WEAR SOMETHING YOU FEEL AMAZING IN! You know, that outfit that you put on and you look in the mirror and immediately think "daaaammmnnn." That outfit that makes you want to put on music and freaking dance. That's how you should feel in your outfit. If you find yourself tugging at the outfit, pulling it down/up/etc--it ain't the one. If it's sticking to you like a stage 5 clinger...it ain't the one. Got it?
2. Coordinate! Meaning your outfits don't clash AND don't match. You feel me? Your outfits should just compliment each other and maybe follow a color scheme. Key ideas--if one person has a pattern, the other person doesn't, if you're wearing a gorgeous flowy dress--make sure their outfit isn't a t-shirt and shorts (button up and dress shorts, yes!). It's usually best to choose your outfit first and plan the other(s) around it. Don't think too hard about it, you got this.
3. Comfort...I'm not saying you should wear your fav sweats and sneakers, but movement is a big part of our session--walking, dancing, maybe siting on the ground? I still encourage you to wear that dress that makes you feel amazing, as long as you can move in it, that's all!
4. Let's talk about colors...neutral, earthy tones that's always my suggestion. Loud, bright, neon, graphics and logos--usually don't look awesome in photos honestly. Think greens, cream, beige, tan, dusty blue, mustard yellow, white, burnt/rust orange, gray...you got this.
5. Lay out your outfits on the bed/floor next to each other. This is how I plan for my own photos. I grab the outfits I'm considering (shoes too!) and lay them out, that way I can switch out what I want and see how it looks without making anyone change clothes! (While you are doing this, feel free to send me a picture if you want a second set of eyes to look it over--I love planning outfits together!) Also, this means = PLAN AHEAD. Like days...maybe weeks ahead of time. Not the night before, don't do that to yourself (speaking from experience lol).
