i don't want to put you on the spot sam, but i always wonder about this when you share a family session (feel free to tell me if i'm being a presumptuous twit for asking but...)
your clients always look so well styled. are you just fortunate to have some really fun and funky clients or do you give specific wardrobe advice? do you supply pieces?
thanks man - as always - for the inspiration
My email to Ryan about wardrobe:
"There are 2 locations I will take you guys to. I really don't like uniform clothing. I much rather prefer, complimenting colors and fabrics per the season. Fall stuff is my preference. Boots, corduroy, scarves, old fashion hats, browns, rust, moss greens, vintage pinks, blood red etc. Very fall-ish. You feel it? Look through my blog for some of my recent family sessions. The clothes will totally make the pics sing."
I'm actually very particular on wardrobe for clients. Most of portrait clients come see me as a result of another session I did for a friend or family member. They have seen the work and understand my taste for the session. My wife has taught me to be annoyed with fashion fopa.
This annoyance has probably led me to be a little bit more outspoken on my preferences on attire for sessions. Be it family, seniors, engagements or otherwise.
Things I hate:
-denmin: for the most part. VERY cool when worn with a sport coat though. Skinney jeans on a lady is okay as well
-unfeminine ladies: Hope this one doesn't crucify me. If it's an engagement session then I prefer the ladies not wear ball caps, tee-shirts and around-the-house-clothing
-button down collars AND ties: That is fashion suicide IMO
-anything printed
-any collar popped
Things I love:
-Layers
-extreme femininity
-mermaid dresses
-suits over tuxes
-traditional ties over bow ties
-long hair
