In the last post, I went over some of the clothing that you shouldn't bring to a child modeling photo shoot. In this post, I'll go over some of the "do's" of clothing choices.
1. Do bring colors that work well with your child's skin tone, hair & eyes.
Some of the photos that we will shoot are close up showing the face. Basically a headshot or a very close up shot that shows the eyes and any interesting features. Having a color that brings out the eyes can really show them off. And in general having colors that work well with skin tones and hair can also be very complimentary to the model. See the second photo below for an example of this. The child model has dark eyes, hair & skin which contrast so nicely against the blue jacket.

 |
| Colors that contrast with the hair, eyes and skin are always a good choice when getting your child's modeling photos taken. |
2. Do bring some simple accessories such as hats, beanies, headbands, scarfs, etc.
Okay, some agents do not want to see hats or hair pieces and some do. Just know that there can be varying opinions on this in the industry. The key is that it should not be the focus of the photo. The model is the focus, not the clothing. I recommend you always check with your modeling agent to find out if they have specific do's and don'ts. Basically you should bring options to the photo shoot and then the photographer will determine which clothing and accessories will be used for the models photos. In the child model photo below, the hat really brings attention to her eyes.

3. Bring some full body options and some close up options. Some people like to wear something from different seasons. Example a bathing suit or shorts & top, and then a winter look. Or you can choose a JCrew type preppy look and then a more high fashion look. The key is that The clothing will show how you are proportioned and how the clothes hang on you. (Remember no very baggy looks that hide your body). Although we may only need to shoot 3/4 looks, it's a good idea to bring some shoes or boots that complete the look.
