What to Wear for Photo Shoot--Clothing Ideas for Boys

Last week, I posted a few color palettes to help inspire wardrobe choices for photo shoots.  I had so much fun creating them.  I found the template for making these boards at The CoffeeShop Blog.  You should definitely give them a try.  I'm sure you'll be hooked into making tons of these!

Anyway, I then had a client ask me for ideas on what to dress her boys in for her upcoming photo shoot.   Using my color palettes I put together the wardrobe board below and she loved it.   She said she never thought of using plaids before and loved the idea.  She ended up dressing her boys in a blue plaid color scheme and the photos turned out great.

If you would like a copy of the board below click here.   I love mixing solid colors with the plaids.  This board gives you a couple of different color options.  Enjoy!

What to Wear-Freebie

We've noticed that many photographers are putting together Wardrobe Inspiration boards.  We thought this was a great idea and a terrific service to provide to clients who often ask "What should we wear?"

We put together our What to Wear guide using screen shots from Old Navy and Power Point (we saved it as a jpeg).  You can also use Photoshop to create your collage.  If you want your clothes to look more layered, utilize the magic wand tool to cut around the items.  We also noticed that some photographers add the price points and links for each piece featured on their boards.  

We liked using Old Navy's website to pull clothing items from because it is a store that is affordable and their website shows the clothing items as individual pieces (not on models).

In the end, it really isn't about the store but to  inspire color choices and styles and provide a starting point to help your clients pull together a great looking wardrobe their photo session.  If you want to find other great wardrobe ideas, you should check out Pinterest.  Search for "what to wear" or "wardrobe inspiration" and you'll find enough ideas to fill your closet. :)
