Dress to Impress: What to Wear for Your Fearless Shots Black and White Portrait Session

Are you ready to strike a pose and create some timeless black and white portraits? Great! But before you say "cheese," let's talk about what to wear for your portrait session. After all, you don't want to be remembered as the one who wore that neon green t-shirt to their family photo session.

THE KIDS :

First things first, let's talk about the kids. They may be small, but they're mighty and deserve to look their best too. For little ones, we suggest sticking to classic and timeless pieces like white or black collared shirts, or even a cute little dress. Avoid busy patterns or logos that can be distracting. And don't forget to coordinate with the rest of the family, but not match.

COUPLES AND FAMILIES:

For couples and families, the key is to coordinate but not match. Choose a color palette of black, white and gray, and then mix and match patterns, textures and styles to create visual interest. A white button-down paired with black pants, or a black dress with a white cardigan can look classic and elegant. Avoid bright colors, busy patterns or logos as they can be distracting in black and white portraits.

And here's a little tip: black and white portraits are all about the contrasts, so don't be afraid to play with different shades of black and white. A black dress and a white dress can look stunning next to each other.

ACCESSORIES:

Finally, let's talk about accessories. A pop of color or a statement piece can add interest and personality to your portraits. A red scarf, a pearl necklace or a fedora can take your photos from "nice" to "wow"!

BE FEARLESS:

So overall, when it comes to dressing for your Fearless Shots black and white portrait session, the key is to keep it classic, timeless, and coordinate without matching. And remember, it's not about being perfect, it's about being fearless and having fun!
