What to Wear for Your Photoshoot – Simple Tips for Timeless Images

Written By Dominic Portelli

One of the most common questions clients ask is: What should we wear? Here are a few tips:

  • Keep it neutral & coordinated – Soft tones like beige, cream, white, or pastels photograph beautifully.

  • Avoid busy patterns & logos – They distract from faces and emotions.

  • Choose timeless over trendy – Think clean, minimal outfits for photos that won’t age.

  • For maternity shoots – Flowing dresses, fitted gowns, or draped fabrics accentuate the bump elegantly.

  • For family sessions – Pick a color palette of 2–3 tones and mix textures for interest.

The goal is to complement, not compete with, the emotion of the photo.
