Style Guide: Christmas
It's tiiiiime!
Ready to select your outfit for your mini session? I get it, this is no small task. It can be really difficult to try to select the best outfit choice for your session, especially when you have a whole family to plan for, with varying preferences, body types, littles & adults, styles - etc.
This is where I come in.
The process of selecting your outfit can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be if you follow some simple rules, and don’t overthink it.
Christmas Mini Sessions are the perfect way to capture the magic of the season with your family. Of course, the colour and feel of the clothes you wear are a big part of the end result - not only visually, but also in the way you feel when your photo is taken. That's why a little bit of planning before your session is important. The last thing you'll want to do is slap together a last minute outfit that ends up not being what you feel comfortable or confident in - so the first recommendation is to give yourself time to prepare! Then… take a peek at my Do’s & Dont’s guide below, and go after what you love.
Wardrobe “Do's + Don’ts”
DO:
Give yourself time to prepare
Keep it simple, avoid busy prints
Coordinate your colours - without matching
Stay true to you!
Dress formal if you’d like to. But… no pressure. Personally, I’d rather see you in Christmas PJ’s than a dress/suit any day of the week.
DON'T:
Forego planning - come prepared from head to toe. Shoes are often forgotten about; make sure they match the vibe, and are clean.
Wear logos, graphic tees, or busy patterns (please don’t have everyone in various plaids…)
Try a brand new style - you may regret it
Forget to ditch smart watches, items in your pocket, and any hair ties on the wrist
KEEP IN MIND:
Classic styles never go out of style for a reason
Accessories are fun and can add to your wardrobe selection - hats, jewelry, headbands, etc
Consider getting your hair + makeup done
