• Tips and advice for what to wear at a lifestyle
• If youre asking, What should we wear to the
  photoshoot? youre not alone! Its one of the
  most common questions I get. There are a lot of
  factors that come into play when choosing your
  wardrobe, like the shoot location, time of day,
  and the style of images youre after. Heres a
  handy list of tricks and tips on what to wear to
  your family photoshoot

• What to Wear
• Neutral Colours Remember this motto neutrals
  are everything. Not only are earthy, neutrals
  the best colours to wear behind the camera,
  theyre also on-trend and versatile! White,
  beige, soft pastels, rust, greens they work
  seamlessly together (which makes dressing
  everyone in the family a piece of cake!) and they
  never date.
• Denim Everyone has denim in their wardrobe, and
  it goes with pretty much anything and works in
  most shoot locations. It photographs really well
  and looks stunning in both colour and black
  white.
• Simple Clothing Pieces Simple is best! A
  photoshoot is probably not the time to pull out
  that criss-crossing-strappy jumpsuit or oversized
  pair of balloon pants it can distract the photo
  and claim the centre of attention. I like to
  stick to the basic pieces jeans, tees,
  button-down shirts, dresses so that the focus
  of the photo is the heart and soul of your
  family, not what youre wearing.
• Shoes Footwear is dependent on where your shoot
  is and what style youre going for. If its on
  the beach or more of a casual vibe, you may want
  to go minimal or barefoot. Alternatively, you
  might be planning a winter-style or formal shoot.
  Like with clothing, go for something that feels
  comfortable, easy to move in, and doesnt take
  away the focus of the shot.

• What Not to Wear
• Clashing patterns colours I love a pop of
  colour and funky pattern, but they can be a
  little hit-and-miss when it comes to a
  photoshoot, especially when theyre a few too
  many of them in one photograph! Avoid putting
  family members in colour and pattern combos that
  clash together. Its also worth remembering that
  patterned clothing is not a friend to black
  white photos, so if thats the vibe youre going
  for, stick to plain neutrals.
• Clothes that make you feel uncomfortable This is
  probably the most important point to follow if
  you dont feel comfortable in it, dont wear it!
  Its amazing how what we wear can alter our
  entire presence. Wear something that makes you
  feel great, and it will make the world of
  difference. This goes for kiddies too dress
  them in something that they feel comfortable to
  move around naturally in.
• Clothes with words images Your little one may
  love their Minion t-shirt, but I guarantee youll
  have a hard time loving it when its front and
  centre of the family photo! Clothing that
  contains words, brand names, images, or anything
  that takes away the focus is a no-go, and best to
  avoid for your photoshoot.

• Its all about you
• Your shoot is all about you and your family, so
  make it what you want! Whilst what you wear is
  important it isnt the main part of your shoot.
  Comfort and simplicity are the keys to dressing
  well. The love will shine through all on its own.
