Why Wardrobe Is So Important For Your Photo Session
Choosing outfits for your family photo session can feel a bit overwhelming. But it's also an exciting opportunity to create a look that reflects your family's personality! Your wardrobe choices can really complement the locations and make your photos pop!
THE IMPACT OF COLOUR IN YOUR PHOTOS
Colours play such a big role in setting the mood of your photos. Soft, neutral tones can create a calm, timeless feel - perfect for those serene family shots. Or maybe you want to embrace the vibrant colours of summer with brighter hues that match the natural beauty of the location. Whatever you choose, think about how the colours will look against our beautiful backdrops.
COORDINATING WITHOUT MATCHING
Try coordinating your family's look with complementary colours and styles. Think about the cosy fall tones you might see at Guelph Lake Conservation Area, or the soft spring pastels that echo the blossoms at Park Hill Studio. Your outfits can reflect the season and the setting beautifully.
COMFORT IS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY FOR LITTLE ONES!
You want everyone to feel relaxed and at ease during the photo session. Guelph's weather can be unpredictable, so layers are always a good idea. A light sweater or jacket can be easily added or removed, and it gives you more variety in your photos too.
EXPRESSING YOUR FAMILY'S PERSONALITY
Your outfits are a chance to show off your family's unique style. Are you outdoorsy types who love hiking? Maybe casual, comfortable clothes would suit you best. Or perhaps you enjoy a more polished look? A dressier outfit might be perfect for a session. Whatever you choose, make sure it feels true to who you are as a family.
CONSIDERING THE LOCATION
We offer beautiful locations for photos, and your outfits can really complement these settings. A flowy dress might look lovely against the natural backdrop of Guelph University Arboretum, while something more casual could work well for a playful session at Guelph Lake Conservation Area. Think about where you'll be taking your photos and how your outfits will look in that environment.
TIMELESS vs. TRENDY
While it's fun to embrace current styles, remember that these photos will be treasured for years to come. Classic, timeless outfits often work best for family photos. Think about the timeless charm of Park Hill Studio - your outfits can have that same enduring appeal.
THE POWER OF TEXTURE
Don't underestimate the impact of texture in your outfits! Incorporating different fabrics can add depth and interest to your photos. A cozy knit sweater can bring warmth to fall photos, while a linen dress can add a light, airy feel to summer shots. Corduroy can add a fun, vintage touch, especially for children's outfits. Mixing textures - like pairing a soft cotton shirt with a textured wool cardigan - can create visual interest without overwhelming the image. These subtle details can really elevate your family photos, adding richness and dimension to the overall look.
DRESSING FOR THE SEASON
Our area is beautiful in every season, and your outfits can reflect that. Cosy sweaters and boots for fall photos, light, breezy outfits for summer shots, or bright colors to contrast with winter snow - each season offers unique opportunities for beautiful photos.
