CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS - FAMILY PORTRAITS
-------------------------------------
Casual Family Portraits - WHITE BACKDROP:
- smart casual outfits that speaks each person's personality -
colours that coordinates with each other (eg: all autumn colour, all
summer colour, all pastels, or modern colour schemes.. such as fushia +
green + brown, or blue + brown, etc etc..)
- could be knits, one piece dress, jeans etc
- some suggested modern colours are:
light brown + pink + green
pink + green + yellow
yellow & light blue
red + blue
yellow + white + grey
blue + silvery grey
|* HINT: colour has to be bold and solid to create the best outcome.
Formal Family Portraits - BEIGE BACKDROP:
- for this part, you may prepare a set of clothes for all family members that coordinates well together
- This beige tone backdrop we have looks really well when the father wears a dark colour shirt / black suit w tie, and mother and children wears darker tone formal wardrobes / shirts (eg: black,navy, brown etc)
with a hint of colour as accessories (eg: tie, scarfs etc)
- it would also look good when whole family wears white / beige too
- matching shoe is required
Casual Family Portraits (other colourful backdrops / Outdoors)
- jeans + plain basic tees (eg: white polos, tees, plain casual shirts etc)
- khakis + plain white / black top
- red / black winter christmas colour tops if you would like to take a
family photo to send out during christmas times.

CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS - BABY GIRL
--------------------------------------
As colour is very key to a photoshoot... thus, I'd suggest to prepare very
different colour clothing sets / styles (around 3-5 sets).
- plain white / solid coloured onesies
- skirts and one piece sundress
- bold solid coloured tees / tanks with ribbons + jean skirts
- dungarees
- tutus
- denim
- hats
- tops / jacket with hood
- colourful baby leggings (leg warmers)
- diaper covers
- swimwear
- knitted vest / sweather / jacket
- boots / shoes
- raincoat / umbrella + boots
- tees with funny wordings on it
- cute coloured bibs / costume
- plain white diaper (with no cartoon prints)
- any clothes that have distinguishable style and mood (eg:
sporty, modern, simple, formal etc
- props: green apple, ice-cream, donuts, lollipop, stuffed toys, balloons
-----------------------
PREPARATION:
-----------------------
- please iron all clothes that maybe wrinkle
- ladies should put on light day makeup with slightly more solid
lipstick colour and a little bit thicker foundation + loose powder (this
is a MUST as the studio lights would make skin looks shiny!!)
- have some lip gloss to ensure the lips are not chapped
- if your master bedroom's bed is good for phototaking, it would be
nice to have a white / light coloured bed sheet ready and we would take
some family photos there too using daylight.
- if you have chairs, stools, backless chair or coffee tables that we could use
during the shoot, that would be great.
CLOTHES TO AVOID:
- clothes with big eye-catching logo, shinny prints, big stripes, cartoon characters as they would date the photos and draws too much attention, unless the
text is funny and creates a theme
- clothes with excessive ruffles / laces / dangling materials (they tend to go to unexpected places in the photo and are hard to retouch)
