Holidays???? I know what you're thinking... I'm not ready! Believe me, I'm not either!
Like it or not the holidays show up much too quickly! And for those of you who are already thinking about your holiday card, kudos to you! One of the many things I love about the holidays is all the beautiful holiday cards that I receive with the wonderful pictures of all our family and friends. In many cases, you've actually coordinated these photos and to those of you who have had the forethought to pull this together, I am impressed!
One of the services offered by Beacon Style is assistance in styling your photo session. Whether it's for your holiday card, family portrait or newborn session (just to name a few) we can all struggle with what to wear in pictures. The thought of having to pick an outfit for a photo session can be overwhelming. It's hard enough some days to pick something to wear to work!
If you're already planning for what to wear in your next photo session, here are a few quick tips to help in your planning:
- Dress in something comfortable. This goes for the whole family. If your kids are wearing clothes they are not comfortable in, they will be pulling at them and complaining about them instead of smiling for the camera. This goes for adults too! You're best smile will come from wearing something that is both confident and comfortable!
- Don't feel like all the members of the photo have to have the same outfit on. You don't all have to wear white shirts and blue pants. Pick a color palette that works with your skin tone and your background. Plan your outfits to complement each other. Too much matching can work against you.
- Wear clothing that compliments your skin tone, flatters your body type and makes your feel confident. Find that outfit that makes you smile when you put it on. That's the one that you want to remember!
In the case you are looking for some assistance in styling not only yourself but perhaps your whole family for a photo session, Beacon Style is here to help. You might find that having a little help in picking colors, styles and fit as well as assistance in coordinating outfits can be a time saver. The level of involvement in this task can range from coming to your home to pick clothing from your closet to offering inspiration online or even personal shopping. Maybe you just need a little inspiration. Maybe you want someone to help you find the whole outfit. Each service is catered specifically to your needs.
I've had the pleasure of working with a client on her holiday card for the last two years. From brainstorming the idea to pulling it all together, I love to watch the process and collaborate on ideas. I loved her photo last year and can't wait to see how this year's photo comes out!
