A comfortable photography session begins before the camera comes out. Use these ideas as a starting point, then adapt them to your people, location, and season.
Coordinate without matching
Choose two or three complementary colors and let each person wear a different combination. Warm neutrals, muted earth tones, soft blues, and gentle texture photograph beautifully without making everyone look identical.
Start with comfort
Clothing should allow children to move, couples to settle close, and everyone to feel like themselves. If an outfit needs constant adjustment, it can pull attention away from the connection you want the photographs to hold.
Think about the location and season
A Huntsville family photography session in a green summer setting may call for different colors than an autumn field or downtown backdrop. Jenni can help you review the location, light, and wardrobe together before the session.
Add texture carefully
Linen, denim, knits, and subtle layers add visual interest. Keep logos and very small high-contrast patterns to a minimum so faces and relationships remain the focus.
