One of the biggest questions clients have before their session is: What should I wear? The right outfit can make a huge difference in how you feel and how your photos turn out. Here are some simple tips to help you choose the perfect look for your photoshoot.
1. Stick to Solid Colours & Classic Styles
Bold patterns, logos, and overly trendy pieces can be distracting in photos. Instead, opt for solid colours and timeless outfits that will look great for years to come. Neutrals, jewel tones, and soft pastels tend to work best and complement different skin tones beautifully.
📍 Tip: If you’re visiting our Murarrie-based home studio, consider wearing colours that complement a clean, modern aesthetic to keep your photos looking polished and professional.
2. Choose Flattering Fits
Wear outfits that fit well and make you feel confident. Avoid anything too tight or too loose, as both can affect how you appear on camera. Structured clothing creates a polished look, while flowy fabrics add a soft, elegant touch.
📍 Tip: If you’re unsure, bring an extra outfit and we can help you decide on the best look when you arrive at the studio!
3. Bring Multiple Outfit Options
Having at least 2–3 outfit changes gives variety to your photos. Consider mixing casual, formal, and statement pieces to capture different styles. For branding sessions, bring outfits that align with your profession and personal brand.

4. Pay Attention to Layers & Textures
Adding a blazer, jacket, or scarf can create dimension and versatility in your images. Soft textures like wool, cotton, or lace photograph beautifully and add visual interest.
📍 Tip: Layers allow for easy outfit changes without needing a full wardrobe swap—perfect for adding variety to your session.
5. Coordinate (But Don’t Match) for Group Shots
If your session includes multiple people, choose outfits that complement each other instead of wearing identical colours. Sticking to a cohesive colour palette—such as earth tones, pastels, or monochromatic shades—creates a polished, put-together look.

6. Accessorise Wisely
Simple accessories, such as delicate jewellery or a statement piece, can enhance your look. If you wear glasses, make sure they have anti-glare lenses to avoid reflections in your photos.
📍 Tip: Bring a few accessory options to switch up your look without needing a full outfit change.
7. Avoid Last-Minute Changes
Try on your outfits ahead of time and make sure they fit comfortably. Wrinkles, stains, or unexpected wardrobe malfunctions can be avoided by planning ahead.
📍 Tip: Steam or iron your clothes the night before and pack them neatly to keep them looking fresh for your session.
Final Tip: Be Yourself!
Choose outfits that reflect your personality and style so that you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. The more comfortable you feel, the more authentic and natural your images will be.
