Guía de estilo y colores para tu sesión de fotos
For most clients, the outfit is the most stressful part of the session.
Too many colors. Clothes that fight the background. Kids in logos at the last minute. It happens all the time, and it is easy to fix.
This guide shows you the color palettes I recommend for every season, every type of session and every kind of location in the Valley. Pick your palette, build around one anchor piece, and you're done.
I'm Franzelly Garcia. After more than 3,000 sessions, these are the combinations I see photograph best.
Escoge tu paleta, arma tu look alrededor de una pieza principal y listo.
Book My SessionLas reglas de oro
These work for every session, every season, every location.
Coordina, no combines igual
Pick 3 colors plus 1 neutral. Everyone wears a mix. No identical shirts.Empieza con una pieza principal
Choose the boldest piece first, often mom's dress. Everyone else pulls colors from it.Textura antes que estampado
Knits, linen, lace and ruffles add depth. Small busy prints and stripes can flicker on camera.Sin logos ni colores neón
Big logos pull the eye away from faces. Neon reflects color onto skin.El buen ajuste lo es todo
Clothes that fit well look expensive. Steam everything the night before.Los zapatos cuentan
They show up in full-length photos. Clean, simple and in your palette.Trae un segundo look
A second outfit doubles the variety in your gallery.Vístete para el clima
