yay you did it right :)

Feel free to contact me with photos for options, I love to see styles before hand and help you make decisions ♥

+ follow your brand +

A lot of models use a shoot like this as a chance to buy new clothes, wear something fancy or fun. You totally have that option but if you’re not a dress kind-of-gal, don't be afraid to rock those ripped jeans and converse that express your image.

The same goes for "props".... I'm not talking about pinterest-y cheese filled props/signs... i'm talking more about things to add a little story to your photos in the BEST way. For example: a pizza picnic, a campfire, your sweet pups, bikes/surfboards - these are all great options.

What Not To Bring: graphic t-shirts, logos, heavy or distracting prints, neons, no see through tops,

+ Make Sure It Makes Sense +

Think about location and conditions: Heels are not a good option for the beach - barefoot fits so much better. Boots with good grip are best for hiking hills and mountain sides. Temperature is important too: Bring layers, extra socks or a cozy sweater for cool temps or thin, breathable clothing to avoid sweat stains in hot weather.

Being comfortable is so so important, if you’re uncomfortable in front the camera (like most of new faces are) being comfortable in what you’re wearing is one less thing to worry about during the shoot.

Color.

Neutrals + Earthy tones are the way to go. They compliment the skin tones/aren't too distracting. Bright reds, pinks and oranges are usually what I tend to recommend to stay away from, they sometimes end up making skin tones a little too pink or orangey. But if there's this one shirt you're absolutely crazy about, just check with me first.
Movement.

Another emphasis on comfortability is so important because we'll definitely be running, jumping and spinning around during this shoot. Avoiding uncomfortable/slippery shoes is also pretty important because we will be walking around plenty! I keep you both pretty active when I shoot so get ready to run, jump and maybe dance a bit...
Accessories or clothing that catches the wind always is encouraged because it adds energy and just looks soooo good in photos.
Dimension.

Dimension, layering and fun textures can add a little extra “umpf” to your outfits. Some layering options could include an oversized cardigan, kimono, a neutral flannel or jean/leather jacket.
Accessories are also a good way to let personality shine. Try to avoid wearing watches as they can be distracting from your faces when shooting up close shots. But remember to have fun with these outfits!
Even if you’re not 100% sure about if it goes with your outfit, bring it anyways it could end up being a great option to compliment what you’re wearing.
Pattern.

Crazy, loud patterns can be tricky. The smaller/the more subtle the pattern is usually a little more easy to “match”. For the most part I would try to avoid wearing more than one pattern. In photos, they tend to try and fight each other for dominance and remember, the focus of these photos is you!
If a Hawaiian styled button down fits your guy, pair it with something on the modern/simple side.
