What to Wear

One of the most common questions we get at Spoiled Rotten Photography is “What should my child wear for their portrait session?”  See below for some helpful suggestions based on the current set we are showcasing.  We’ve also included recommendations for our popular Mini sessions.

Clothing Suggestions for our Fall 2024 Rhythm & Blues Set

Pick an outfit to complement your child’s personality! All shades of blue or more neutral tones of khaki and white look amazing with the Rhythm & Blues Set. If you want to make a statement, add some pops of gold! For Fall, think – layers with jackets and boots; along with accessories such as: hats, bowties, suspenders, hair bows, and special jewelry.

Add a bow tie or some suspenders to make any outfit stand out. Oh…and don’t forget unique jewelry pieces too.  These added touches will help show off your child’s individual flair!

Our photographers love to work with the personal items you send with your child… a lovie, blankies, fresh flowers, an heirloom toy, etc. When you register your child for mini-sessions, make sure you leave a note about the item you plan to send with your child so we make sure it gets included in a few portraits.

Check out the Rhythm & Blues curated clothing guide and the Rhythm & Blues Gallery for some outfit inspiration.  

 

Choose Solids or Small Prints

Choose SOLIDS or SMALL PRINTS.  The look of campus candids will vary greatly depending on your school’s facilities.  The best bet is to send your child in clothes you love!  

Avoid bold patterns, stripes, large logos, or writing

Avoid bold patterns, stripes, large logos, or writing.   We want the portrait to be all about the amazing subject!  Crazy clothes with large patterns brings your attention to the clothes, not their beautiful faces!  

Add layers & accessories

Add layers & accessories (hats, jackets, scarfs, jewelry).  This is a great way to add variety to your images and gives your portrait depth and dimension.
