Colors
When choosing your outfits for your special day, it’s best to wear solid, muted colors. Patterns and bright colors in a photo bring your eyes away from the person’s face and to their outfit instead. The most flattering clothes are dark with long sleeves. When arms are exposed to the camera there will be more flesh and more distractions. If a lighter background is preferred then try lighter colors that blend in with the background.
Be creative when picking your attire. Bring casual, formal, prom dresses and suits, sport jackets and uniforms.

Yearbook Photo
Don’t forget to remember clothes specifically for your yearbook photo. That means guys, you might have to wear that annoying tie you hope to wear only once every other decade. And girls, you might have to wear an outfit with no spaghetti straps and a slightly higher neckline than you prefer because of school yearbook photo specifications. But after the specifications are met, you can change into your favorite outfits. Just don’t forget an outfit or two that will impress mom and dad as well.

Props
Feel free to bring personal items to enhance your photos: sports equipment, instruments, favorite hobbies, etc... Like cars? Give your car a wash and wax and take your photos with your 4-wheel friend.

Outdoor Portraits
Know where you want to be photographed and dress for the occasion. Blue jeans and khakis look good almost anywhere. Choose shirt colors to match the scenery and your pants as well. For a little more variety, if you’re involved in outdoor sports or hobbies you can even wear your uniform or outfit.

Outdoor Weather
Be prepared when your session is outside. If it’s raining hard and you cannot reschedule don’t forget an umbrella. And don’t forget the other elements as well. On windy days it’s best to bring a brush or comb and on sunny days sunscreen can’t hurt.
