As an Orange County professional photographer, what would you recommend my family wear for our family portrait?

When deciding what to wear for family portraits keep in mind where you plan on displaying your portrait. Is it going to be in a formal room or a more casual room? That will determine what type of clothing to wear. Also keep in mind the colors in that room. You don’t want to wear colors that will clash with the colors of that room.

If you’re having a portrait made at the beach or a park, the best colors to wear are neutrals such as browns, beige, white and black. Solids are always better than prints. You do not want to take anything away from the subjects –YOU! I always suggest that anyone over the age of 25 wear sleeves. Unless of course you are doing a commercial for a fitness magazine!!!

I would like to get new head shots for my company. As an Orange County professional photographer, what would you recommend I wear when you take my head shots?

It really depends on how you want to portray yourself to your clients. Are you a more casual type of person or does your profession require more formal business attire? It just depends on your personality and how you want your clients to view you. Solids are best and sleeves on your shirts are always a must unless you are a fitness advisor!

I am interested in having professional photographs taken of my new baby. As a professional photographer, what would you suggest to ensure the photographs of my newborn are perfect?

Most people hope that when they get to the studio, their babies will wake up in time for the sitting. I suggest that if your baby is asleep when you arrive, leave them sleeping. Photographing a newborn sleeping is much easier when trying to do close ups of the baby’s hands and feet. As a photographer, it is great to start there and then move on to the other types of photos once your baby wakes up. And be sure to allow enough time in your sitting for feeding and changing diapers and count on little mishaps.

As a professional pregnancy photographer, what type of clothing would you suggest I wear to best show off my pregnancy?

If you husband wears dress shirts to work it is always great to bring one to wear. It shows off your baby tummy really nicely without being too much. You might like to wear a cute flowing skirt and crop top. If you husband is going to join in the portrait sitting he should wear solid colors and preferably black or white or something neutral. If you know if your baby is a boy or girl, let us know so that we can include some appropriate colored flowers or stuffed animals in your sitting.
