Santa Visits | Wardrobe Tips | Spring, TX Photographer

WHAT DO I WEAR FOR MY SANTA SESSION?

There are so many different choices for what you should wear for your Santa portraits. I would suggest either cute Christmas pajamas, a formal holiday outfit, or go with casual jeans and a sweater. 

The best colors for either Santa set are: Brown, Tan, Cream, Red, Maroon, Greens, Grey, Navy, Golds and Light Blue

Here are some stores that offer some really cute kids clothes for Christmas:

WARDROBE TIPS:

• Please dress in white sparingly, for this color often reflects light strongly. 

• Solid colors work best. If you like patterns, make sure it’s a smaller pattern. Large patterns stand out and will distract from the overall portrait.

• Avoid clothing with words or logos. These can also be distracting.

• Try to find outfits that are classic. Something that won’t look dated in 5 years.

• We love barefoot kids. If you have shoes, make sure they match the outfits. Tennis shoes are distracting and don’t go with the overall feel of the portraits.

• Choose colors that are natural, which means avoiding neon colors such as hot pink or lime green.

Family Portraits | What to Wear | Silver Image Photography | Spring, TX

What do I wear for family portraits?

If we had time, we would love to be able to go with each person and help them choose the best clothes for their portraits. Unfortunately, we don't. Don't fear though! We have a few helpful tips that will help you in your wardrobe selection! Keep in mind, clothes are supposed to enhance the photos. Not be a distraction!

1. You want to coordinate but not match exactly! Choose complementary or analogous colors and mix it up! If everyone wears the same white shirt and blue jeans...it looks a little too matchy-matchy. 
2.  Solid colors are usually the best choice. If you choose to wear a pattern, make sure it's small...no crazy zebra strips. You don't want to be the only person someone notices when they look at the portrait.
3. Everyone should know the rule that darker colors make things look smaller. If you are worried about your weight, don't wear a white or neon shirt!
4. Change up the clothing styles. Have one person wear jeans, one person in a dress, one in khakis, etc.
5. Don't forget accessories! Jewelry, scarves, hats....
6. Make sure your shoes match! We don't want crazy colored tennis shoes that don't match anything. The only thing you will notice in the portrait are the neon shoes. So, either dress shoes, casual shoes, or color matching tennis shoes. 
7. We are creating a piece of art to hang on your wall. Think about where you will be hanging your family portrait. You want to choose clothes that will complement your style and decor. If you don't have anything red in your house, then don't choose red to wear in your family photo. 

We suggest laying everyone's clothes out together, either on the floor or the bed. If there's one item that really seems to stick out...try to find something else.
