What to wear for Heirloom Portraits | Raleigh Heirloom Portraiture
For those of you who are interested in heirloom portraits of your children, here are a couple of wardrobe tips I would like to offer you:
Wear light, solid clothing. Patterns are great, but not for these. Bright colors are wonderful, but not for these. In my opinion, white, pink, and light blue look the absolute best for the ways that I edit these photos.
Only pay attention to the area from the arm pits & higher. You will not see other parts of the outfit. So even if the outfit doesn’t fit perfectly, that’s ok! Don’t worry about putting pants on or shoes. You won’t see it!
Think about adding a bow for little girls. You can do a clip in bow or a headband bow. It just adds a little extra.
Collars for boys photograph wonderfully. In younger boys, I would suggest something with a Peter Pan collar, and with older boys, I’d do more of a dress shirt.
Smocked necklines for girls are really popular. It adds a little dimension and something special to their outfit.
As you can tell, I shoot multiple angles and facial expressions of children. Digital images are also delivered in color and black and white. What is your favorite one?
