Choosing what to wear is one of the most important steps in preparing for your portrait session. The right outfit can elevate your images, reflect your personality, and help you feel confident in front of the camera. Here’s how to make the best choices for your session at Misty Jones Photography:
Start with the Session Type
- Maternity: Flowing gowns, fitted dresses, and soft fabrics photograph beautifully. Our studio offers a curated wardrobe of maternity gowns and custom headpieces for a timeless look.
- Headshots & Modeling: Classic, simple styles work best. Avoid busy patterns; opt for solid colors that complement your skin tone. Bring a blazer or jacket for variety.
- Beauty & Boudoir: Choose pieces that make you feel empowered. Think elegant gowns, lace bodysuits, or your favorite out on the town outfit. Our studio wardrobe includes gowns and a selection of boudoir pieces.
Color & Coordination Tips
- Neutral tones and classic colors (blush, ivory, navy, black) are always flattering.
- For group portraits, coordinate colors without matching exactly. Start with moms outfit and pull 3-4 colors and create a color palette for everyone else.
- Avoid logos or distracting graphics.
