What to Wear
Choosing the right outfit for your child can make a big difference in how their portrait turns out.
As your photographer, I'm here to help guide you through selecting the perfect attire that will ensure your child's photo looks timeless
and beautiful.
Keep it Simple & Solid
Solid Colors
For Fine Art School Portraits, solid colors are the way to go. These help keep the focus on your child’s face and expressions without any distractions. Solid colors create a classic look that won’t date the photo as trends change.
Avoid loud, neon colors, which can reflect oddly on skin tones and detract from the natural beauty of your child’s features. I can’t say this enough. NO NEON or your kid’s face will be neon.
Accessories, Hair & Grooming
Hats and large bows might look cute, but they can overshadow your child's face in a portrait. It's best to avoid these, as they can also create shadows or obscure facial features. Similarly, keep hair accessories simple and functional rather than decorative. Make sure your child’s hair is kept as you would want to see in the final images.
Choose Comfort & Classic
Since all shots are shoulder-up, the focus should really be on the upper part of your child’s outfit. Choose a top that is comfortable for your child, as a relaxed kid is more likely to show genuine expressions. Opt for classic collars or simple necklines that frame their face well.
