Tips on what to wear:

Choose your portrait clothing carefully when planning for a portrait shoot. Make sure your comfortable!

The clothing you choose for your portrait is very important. You want to choose clothing that does not attract attention to itself, ie:bright colours, brand names in bold ect... After all, you are the most important part of the portrait, not your branded clothing. Rather keep it simple!

The colour of your clothing should suit the type of background you have. If the colours clash you end up looking at the background and not the faces. The faces in a portrait are obviously the most important part.

Its best to wear solids. Unfortunately stripes, plaids, patterns and floral designs are all examples of distracting clothing. 

Avoid having one person in the group wearing very different clothing to the other family members.

Bold, bright colours attract attention away from the face.

Keep jewelry simple.

Glasses can create flare and hide the eyes - a big no no in portraits! If possible wear contact lenses instead.
