Recommended Attire
As a fine art studio, we have stylized our lighting and commissioned our hand painted backgrounds to beautifully complement our elegant style of family portraiture. Beautiful family portraiture renders best with dark formal attire and solid colors. Color coordinated clothing shows family unity and enhances the overall beauty of your portrait. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the clothing recommendations, please send us a message or call us for a complimentary phone consultation - 408-831-7641.
Gentlemen
A dark tuxedo or suit jacket, dark pants, white shirt, and tie is preferred.
Ladies
A long sleeve dark dress or gown is preferred with little or no pattern (black, navy blue, dark green, burgundy, etc.). Classic jewelry is also encouraged.
Young Girls
For young ladies, dark or jewel toned solid dresses are preferred with short or no sleeves. Off-white, cream or natural colors are also acceptable for younger girls.
Young Boys
Same as men, or a solid dark sweater. If under 5, a white shirt with bow tie can also be appropriate.
Semi-Formal
If semi-formal is a must, dark and solid colors are still preferred. Choose simple classic clothing that is not trendy and that will be acceptable 10 to 20 years from now when styles have changed. Please dress young boys in black socks and dark shoes.
