We all have that one outfit or a piece in our wardrobe that is the epitome of our personality and who we are. Or it fits us perfectly and you feel amazing. There is no need to play it safe for your photo session. Own it and embrace it.
Take a look in your closet. Is that outfit tucked away in the back and rarely worn? Or maybe it’s a specific occasion piece. Whatever it is I’m sure you have something that shifts your energy when you put it on. Maybe even feel a little silly for liking and wearing it. That is a sign you have that “one outfit.”
Why hide it in the back of the closet when it is probably the most accurate representation of who you are and the person you want to be all the time? Own it, wear it, embrace it! Here are some reasons why that one outfit can be so powerful.

Energy
Putting something on that makes you feel amazing boosts your confidence and that is what comes through in the portraits. That energy is captured in portraits and translates to others who view it. Why do you think fashion ads are lucrative? The model is selling the energy and the clothing is part of that.
Expression
Your clothing is an expression of you and your personality. Big, bright, and bold. Or calm, centered, and neutral. Can you picture outfits that might fit those descriptions?
Branding
When talking with clients at their consultation, especially for a Personal Branding Session, I bring this up specifically because that one outfit is a piece of what goes into how your brand is represented. It can exemplify what you stand for, accentuate your personality, and show potential clients who you are before they even meet you.

Whether it’s a vintage leather jacket or a feather boa coat and sequined pants. Maybe it’s a waistcoat that you made yourself. I invite you to find that one outfit, or wardrobe piece that makes you feel like you.
