Eng pic attire

Here's what our photographer suggested:

Avoid large bold patterns and bright colors that may tend to
draw attention away from the face. You want your faces to be
the focal point, so long sleeved solids or very subtle prints
are usually most flattering.

Consider the background you want for your portrait. Medium to
dark clothes are best for a dark background. Medium to light
clothes are ideal for a light background. If we are shooting
outside, we have more flexibility - but obviously if we are
shooting in the park, you probably don't want to be wearing
too much green, btw, the park should be quite nice in late
April (have you been to the botanical gardens on 105th? - we
had our wedding shots done there).

Shoes and stockings/socks are most often overlooked. They
should compliment, not contrast. Remember to fully coordinate
your attire from head to toe.

Busy patterns and bold colors tend to make a person look
larger than they are. Dark clothing tends to minimize body
size. Save patterns for small accent items like scarves and
neckties.

Necklines are important. A 'V' or scoop neck is best if your
neck is short and you face is full. A turtleneck or high- necked garment is more flattering if your neck is longer and
your face is slender.


You may want to apply your makeup slightly heavier than
normal and some color to the cheeks and lips. This will
enhance a your appearance and help minimize any imperfections.

My photographer also suggested no jeans. FH and I wore black pants and black turtlenecks.
Those are great tips that were posted.

blue jeans and white button down shirts is popular..

we did black tops (i wore a sweater and she did a v-neck cut) with jeans
