wear solid colored clothing

choose muted tones that are a bit subdued

choose similar tones for your top and bottom (both dark or both light)

choose 1-3 colors for your group portrait, ones with similar tones that go nicely together, and have everyone work within that color palette. For example dark green, navy, and burgundy – all dark jewel tones.  OR tan, a lighter olive green, and denim – all lighter, softer tones.

choose clothes as plan as possible, not branded big logo at the front, no picture on the shirt, not to distraction    

choose dark socks and footwear (unless it’s a barefoot photo on the beach)

keep jewelry simple and minimalist

do your hair the way you’d normally do it while wearing these clothes (I’ll explain later)

if getting a haircut or new hair done, make your appointment at least 2 weeks before your portrait session

simple nice makeup for a women if possible.
