10 Simple Ways to Prepare for Your Photo Session in Idaho – Family, Seniors & More!

1. Choose Clothing That Photographs Well

Choose outfits that fit well and highlight your favorite features. Here are some tried-and-true tips that help everyone look their best on camera:

If you love your waist, try a dress or top that cinches or belts at the middle.

Want to slim your arms? Skip spaghetti straps, cap sleeves, or flutter sleeves—these can make shoulders look broader. Try ¾ sleeves or softly fitted styles instead.

Flowy tops look best with fitted bottoms. Flowy dresses are perfect for adding movement. To add shape and definition, try pairing with a fitted jacket or belt.

V-necklines and scoop necks elongate the neck and flatter most people.

Structured pieces (like a blazer, denim jacket, or tailored top) add polish and shape without clinging.

Avoid anything too baggy, tight or short—if you're fidgeting with it, it's falling off or you can't bend, it's not the right choice.

For group sessions: Coordinate, don’t match. Avoid everyone wearing the exact same outfit—aim for complementary colors and textures instead.

Maternity sessions: Choose clothing that defines your shape. Avoid solid black dresses—they tend to hide the bump instead of highlighting it beautifully.
