What to Wear for Your Photoshoot: Expert Styling Tips for Timeless Photos | Sixtwentytwo Images
One of the first things you'll ask yourself after booking your photoshoot is, what should I wear?
When preparing for your photography session in Sioux Falls (or anywhere!), it’s essential to select outfits that not only reflect your personal style but also enhance the overall composition of your photos. To ensure timeless, polished images, here are key outfit tips tailored for your photoshoot.
Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! I created a guide to take the guesswork out of preparing for your session. From booking to receiving your gallery, your photoshoot should feel effortless. That’s why I curate every step of the process!
Midwesteners, I know we love a plaid— but it is a no-go for your photos.
Opt for a more subtle pattern or solid color to create a balanced, timeless look that enhances your photoshoot.
Where are we going, Palisades State Park, The Falls, Arrowhead Park, an indoor location (I love a good downtown Sioux Falls shoot in a coffee shop!), or a studio sesh?
Outfits should be tailored to the environment. For outdoor shoots, natural textures like soft knits or earth-toned colors complement the landscape. For an urban shoot in downtown Sioux Falls, think chic, modern looks with a touch of casual flair. In a studio session, you can experiment with bold colors or classic styles to create striking contrasts against controlled lighting.
Have you heard the saying, 'Cousins, not sisters'? I remind myself of this every time I attempt winged eyeliner—because let’s be honest, they’re always close, but never quite identical!
Now, you can repeat it like a mantra when you are putting your outfits together for your shoot! Just like winged eyeliner, it’s all about finding that balance! Think of it this way—your outfits should stay within the same color family for harmony, without being exact replicas.
For your photoshoot, choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident! You’ll want to wear something that lets you move freely and feels like you.
Moms, wear that flowy dress that makes you feel beautiful. Daughters, pick the dress that spins just right! When you’re comfortable, it’ll show in your photos, and your confidence will shine.
