What to Wear for Your Upcoming Session: The Ultimate Wearing Guide
What to Wear for Your Upcoming Session: The Ultimate Wearing Guide
To make sure your photos are both beautiful and timeless, I’ve created this guide with a few helpful tips.
Please remember, while I’ll work my magic during the session, following these steps will make a big difference in the final results.
Fit is Everything
The most important aspect of your outfit is that it fits you well. Baggy clothing can alter the look of your portrait, so take some time to pose in front of a mirror to ensure your outfit looks great from every angle.
- Coordinate a Color Theme
Pick a color combination for you and your family. While it’s not necessary for everyone to wear the same color, choosing colors that complement each other creates a cohesive look. Adding some accent colors through scarves or accessories will enhance the overall effect.
**Avoid:** Big patterns and neon colors. Stick to earth tones for a classy and timeless appearance. For inspiration, check out my Pinterest board with color examples: [Pinterest Color Charts].
- Outfit Coordination
Lay your outfits out and examine how they match together. This visual check will make it easier to see how everything works in harmony.
- Dress for Your Discipline
Your attire should reflect your discipline, whether Western, English, roping, cutting, cart ponies, or dressage. Wear your show clothes or performance attire to make a statement about who you are and what you love most.

- On the Horse?
If you’ll be on your horse, choose a dress that won’t ride up too high. Opt for a flowing dress that adds elegance while riding. Consider bringing casual, semi-formal, and formal outfits—or even your show clothes—to the session.
Where to Shop?
Highlight Your Personality
Bring items that are important to you and reflect your personality. Love to read? Bring some favorite books. Passionate about music? Bring an instrument. My goal is to highlight *your* unique personality!
Treat Yourself
Finally, treat yourself to a bit of pampering. Hair and makeup will help you look and feel your best. Gentlemen, it’s time to put down the baseball cap, get a fresh shave, and enjoy a new haircut.
