Clothing
Q. What do you reccomend for my family to wear?
A. Simple clothing is best and keeps the focus on the subject. For more than one person in the image, solid colors
are generally better than patterns, and definately stay away from logos, and other busy patterns. Casual clothing is
best. If there is more than one person in the image, it is important the clothing co-ordinates with each other. Small
children and babies tend to get fussy with more than one outfit change, so it is best to keep it to just one look.

A. For Black & White images, darker colors are preferred and
help draw attention to the face and the subjects of the images.
