This is one of my favorites from my recent professional photo shoot!
If you are just starting a business, a business owner in need of an updated photo, or you are getting those fun family portraits taken- here are a few tips to make your professional photo fabulous!
Clothing- I recommend simple, solid, color clothing. Stay away from prints, stripes, characters or words. Clothing with wild prints have a tendency to distract from the most important subject in your photos, you. However, if you are like me and love prints, wear one that is of larger scale. Smaller prints don’t show as well in photos and can look a little fuzzy. If you like a certain piece, bring it to the shoot and the photographer can help you decide what will be best for you.
Color- Wear something that goes with your natural coloring. If you are unsure what is best for you- repeat a color that naturally exists for you such as your eye or hair color. These colors will always be flattering on you.
Accessories- Keep it simple and classic. If you wear a trendy piece of jewelry, your photo will become outdated much sooner than if you choose a classic necklace or pair of earrings.
Most importantly- BE YOURSELF!
A picture is worth a thousand words…make yours speak volumes about you!

I love this picture too!
That’s a fabulous photo of you Tina! Well done! Great piece of advice as well. Which reminds me: I need to have some professional pictures done as well
I love this post! When my portrait photography clients ask…what should I wear? I send them this link.
I was totally thinking that I wanted to ask you about your photograph. Did you have it done by a professional? Would you make a referral? I so need a professional photo.
