Preparing for your photography session is very important if you want a stress-free session. This wardrobe guide is designed to help clients of Helen Don Photography choose flattering, timeless outfits for family portrait sessions in Frederick Maryland and the surrounding DMV area. Inside, you’ll find expert styling tips, color guidance, and outfit examples that photograph beautifully and reflect your personality, so you can arrive feeling confident, comfortable, and fully prepared to create gorgeous images.

What you choose to wear will either make your photo shoot look and feel like it belongs in a magazine, or it can completely flop. It takes time and intention to build a curated wardrobe for portaits, but it is completely worth it when you LOVE the result! Feel free to shoot me an email helen@helendon.com with photos of what you are planning to wear to your photo session and I will help personally guide you! I am here for you!

I also subscribe to an amazing service for photographers that’s free to you, where you can enter in your family members sizes and style and it gives you coordinating options. I definitely recommend trying it out, here’s the link and the code is STYLE22. This is geared to clothing that looks great in photoshoots, so if you want a polished look, this is the way to achieve it.

Check out my Pinterest board for even more ideas for what will photograph best. Clothing in light earth tones works well in any location. I encourage you to email me photos of your outfit ideas and even photos of you wearing the outfits. Don’t wait until the last minute and remember that shoes are just as important as clothing (please don’t wear sneakers, go barefoot instead)!
