Today I teamed up with GAP and Banana Republic to show you how to put together a perfect photo shoot outfit. As we get closer to the fall season I will show you several different options to inspire you for your very own photo shoot! Today I am showing you how to dress for a casual outdoor fall photo shoot. Keep in mind these are just *ideas* - in no way am I saying you have to go out and buy this exact outfit in order to impress. :)
Let's start with mom and dad.
Once the parents have children, mom and dad seem to no longer be the focal point in pictures (or in life for that matter- ha!). Therefore their color & clothing should be the foundation for the pictures but not necessarily the focal point. I usually suggest neutral colors such as brown, black, white, beige, grey, etc. You certainly do not have to stick to this by any means. Just a suggestion. :) You may be thinking this sounds boring but it's all in what you choose and any woman will tell you it's all in the accessories! :) Fall is the perfect time to break out the hats and scarves! I put dad in this casual button down grey shirt that he could easily roll up the sleeves for an even MORE casual look. Dad is wearing jeans today but he could easily switch to slacks if mom insists on a little bit more formal look. ;) I put mom in a simple cardigan but the ruffles give it a bit more of a flirty/feminine feel to it. Mom is also in jeans today since this is a casual photo shoot but she could easily change into slacks or a skirt for a dressier look. See how they are both styling but not overdoing it? They are both able to show some personality too through the clothes that they wear. Don't forget the accesories! For mom: a necklace, earings or bracelet, a skinny belt and your favorite pair of shoes. For dad: a great watch perhaps, your favorite necklace and a great sturdy pair a loafers. My favorite part: dressing the kiddos. If this photo shoot is for your Christmas cards then let's all just be honest just for one second. It's all about the kids. Am I right? I am not even a mother (yet) and I just know that it must be so exciting to dress up your child and just know how cute your little one looks in that new outfit. Isn't that what Christmas cards are all about anyway? Showing off your adorable kids. (wink) So let's make sure they look their best!
I put Brother in a pair of cords and a button down shirt that get me in the mood for fall. This shirt is subtle in a way but it is colorful and has a pattern which is okay because it is not competing with any other patterns. I couldn't resist toping off Brother with this adorable "golfers hat" as I call them. Isn't he going to look so cute? I only wish I was actually dressing someone in this outfit!
Sister is wearing a cute little fall-colored dress, matching headband and pink ballet shoes. I imagine her being really girly. :) If it's a cool day and her little legs are chilly - no problem - just slap on a pair a tights on her and you're good to go!
