Roberts Family Photography brings you another installment of What to Wear. This edition brings us to the husband. When dressing a group I generally suggest starting with Dad first then working from there. Guys are generally only getting portraits taken because they know how important it is to you - most would never willingly participate family portraits except that he wants to make you happy (smart guy - keep him!)
They often need a little extra sugar when it comes to portraits, especially if this is his first time being photographed by Roberts Family Photography. They will most likely be surprised at how laid back and fun a Roberts Family Photography portrait session - once it's over - all the moments leading up to the session will just be an act of love. Being armed with this information you can make it easier on him and come up with an outfit that he doesn't feel like a goofball in but still coordinates with everyone else’s outfits. If it's been awhile since he updated his look, this might be the perfect chance to encourage him to try something new. One last thing, schedule a haircut the week before and then have him shave right before the session (if he shaves) and check his fingernails.
Lastly, remind him that the kids do not have to be on their best behavior - they just have to have fun - I don't mind when they act up a little and believe in the controlled chaos theory - anything to get a natural smile!
Onto the outfits!
Trying to find Hughes/Tuten fall pics??
