Color Trends for Your Summer Session!

    Are you wondering what you should wear for your summer photo session? Well, no need to worry anymore! There are lots of color trends that look great during the summer! Here is a sneak peek of some nice patterns that would work well for photos! 

       Lets start off with an outfit that has a nice, simple, and eye grabbing pattern; like a lovely dress. The pattern or print can have multiple colors like a blue, yellow, red, pink, brown, or even maroon! All of these colors would look great! Note: not every person in the photo needs to wear a pattern/print. Having too many patterns and prints going on at the same time will clash and make the photo too "busy"!

     Nice solid colors that are within the pattern will look very nice. These solid colors will help balance out the different colors within the photo! Someone can wear a nice blue polo with some brown shorts, while you wear your favorite solid yellow shirt along with your favorite shorts or capris that will make your photo look magnificent!

        Although bright colors are nice, you can also mix in a little of the darker neutrals as well! A neutral grey shirt paired with some maroon shorts is also a nice color trend to help blend all the different colors within the photo! Don't be nervous or unsure about your choices of color! There is always a way to blend these different colors into a harmonious and beautiful photo! Just remember, not every person in the photo should wear a pattern! Having multiple different patterns within a small area takes the eye off of the photo as a whole and will make all the colors clash within the photo!

 Lady's, it's finally the season to bring out those bright colorful short dresses you love to wear! Even capris or shorts are a perfect match for that beautiful red and blue horizontal slimming top of yours! To top it off, slide on those glamorous, shining flats, or heels that you love so much!

Fall is here! It's time for another what to wear guide. As many pictures are taken outdoors this time of year, color choice is important. Your background will most likely be colorful fall leaves. Browns, reds, yellows....when choosing clothing, keep this in mind. Great colors for fall portraits include browns, yellows,  orange and olive green. Use brighter colors such as reds and purples as accent colors. Too much bright red or too much purple will clash with your colorful foliage background and may be distracting in the photos.

What to Wear - September issue | Clarksville, TN photographer

Wondering what to wear for fall pictures? Well here is some inspiration for September.

Fall is coming and it has already started cooling off. Many photo sessions will be taking place outside so here are some outdoor clothing tips. It's that time of year it can be a little chilly but still too warm for a coat. Start introducing layers especially with children. Layers will look cute and as your child starts moving around...a lot...as kids do you can take a layer off and they still look good for the rest of the pictures. This can also come in handy with little ones if they trip and fall and get dirty...just take a layer off and voila! Still looking nice for pictures! Always keep location in mind when choosing footwear. Many sessions in fall take place in the trees  and "off the beaten path" so to speak. Remember you will most likely be wandering around in grass, dirt, hiking paths and maybe even through some brush. It will depend on location and how adventurous your family and your photographer is. Comfortable but stylish shoes are a must. Boots work well and look cute on young girls paired with dresses. Make sure if you wear any heel that it is a short wide heel for walking around in nature. Browns not only go with just about everything but wont show any dust or dirt that may get on them while walking around, sitting , standing with toddlers that step on your feet, etc. 

*Remember also that the more comfortable your family is, the better thew pictures will come out.*

 Announcing Our New 

What To Wear Guide Series

I am so excited to announce our new what to wear series we will now be featuring here on the blog. Every month about mid-month, we will post a what to wear guide with wardrobe inspirations for the current season. I hope this helps and inspires you for your next portrait session! 

What To Wear?

What should I wear to my portrait session? I hear that a lot.
 A wardrobe can really add to or take away from the images created in your session. It is one of the biggest dilemmas, especially for every mom, as she is figuring out what everyone should wear in their pictures.

 Well it used to be easy. Everyone in black or white tops and matching blue jeans...well times are changing and so it is in photography wardrobe as well. Photographers used to say "plain bright colors, no white, no patterns, etc, etc". Portrait wardrobe is evolving. Patterns are welcome and bring interest to the images when done properly. Of course we don't want too many varying patterns that clash but a couple different patterns in the same color family or complimentary color family will work well. Color, pattern and style of clothing are all factors and can change the feel and mood of the images created. Sometimes a whole photo session theme and prop inspiration can revolve around a certain outfit or clothing style.

At Classic Creations we now offer the choice to have a pre-session consult free of charge. This is where we can talk about the session, ideas and clothing options to make sure everything will come together perfectly at your session to help create beautiful and treasured images for your family. This consult can be done in person or via phone if needed.


I look forward to planning you next portrait session with you!
