What to wear in a photo session?

Yesterday I went shopping and I returned back home with a new scarf, a bag and baby clothes (for a friend of mine that just became auntie for the first time.Yupi yeah!). Looking at them, it came straight away to my mind how cool would be to have this patterns and colours in an Autumn photo session, so I´ve put together a few items to inspire you a bit.

What to wear? It is one of the most common questions I hear, and in fact, what we wear make a big difference in the final result of a photo session. There is no secret formula and unexpected combinations can sometimes work well, however, it is important to plan a bit and find an harmonious combination. When there are kids, often we tend to choose evident colors as pink or blue, but there are many other options that can be considered.

You can find a few tips here or get inspiration here, but the most important is to feel comfortable and confident. If you don´t know how to conjugate colours, a good exercise is to pay attention when you step in a shop, the collections are organized and thought by designers, and often are displayed in a specific way to create harmony and new trends. Looking at it with some awareness, you can understand what works best, which colors are complementary and what doesn´t work at all.
Our tone of skin, hair and eyes´ colour also dictates which colours flatter us more. There are many studies about Season Colour Analysis and it is always fun to make a quiz and find which colours suit us best.
Jeans, white tops, a few nice accessories are always safe choices, but when moderate, patterns can bring some singleness. Go wild, but be yourself! :)
