For some people selecting wardrobe for a photo session can be thrilling. For others? Anxiety inducing. No matter how comfortable you are outfitting your family, it cannot be denied: wardrobe is incredibly important when it comes to taking photographs. You never want to look back on your photos and think to yourself, “why did we wear THAT!?” To avoid these sentiments, below are some tips for selecting wardrobe that you will love now and for years to come.
Plan and try on your outfits at least one week before your session. There’s nothing more stressful than putting your wardrobe together the night before and realizing an article of clothing isn’t flattering or doesn’t fit. Avoid the anxiety by planning ahead so that if something isn’t quite right, you’ll have more than enough time to find an outfit alternative.
Build your wardrobe around a single outfit, such as mom’s or your child’s. As odd as it sounds, it will make selecting wardrobe for the rest of the family much easier. It can help guide you in selecting your color story and the general feel you want to convey in your images.
Pack an extra outfit. This is especially important if your session includes babies or children. Every parent knows - kids can sometimes find themselves in unexpected, messy predicaments. An extra outfit can help ease stress if your little one does end up with a stain on their clothes.
Pack at Photo Session bag. Your photo session bag should contain a number of items that could be helpful during your shoot, including makeup and a hairbrush for touch-ups in between shots and snacks for children, if applicable.

This feeling is what inspired me to launch Cecelia Paige Photography, and it's why I'm here to help you preserve this beautiful season of your life. I can't wait to work with you!
