The pairing of one soft floral print with a graphic print (ex. plaid, stripes, polka dots) in the same color palette provides cohesion in images without feeling to "matchy matchy."

Purple is such a beautiful color to include, most especially because there are such varying rich shades to complement any complexion beautifully!

Red again, I know. But, it's popular for a reason. It's the color that most quickly grabs our attention. And, there is a shade of red for everyone!

A small pop of red is ALWAYS (and I do mean ALWAYS) a surefire win in imagery. It adds a sense of playfulness & energy, while helping to grab visual attention.

There's something classic (and maybe a little French?) about a collection of soft blue hues. There is a light airy feeling that is easy to ground with accessories or, in this case, the adorable plaid pants.

Green can be a difficult color to wear. HOWEVER, when in a soft pastel, it adds an airy freshness to images.

This again, is a single color pastel palette. But, it's balanced nicely with prints and solids. This adds important visual interest, as a collection of solid pastels often tends to look washed out.

The deep brick red, paired with the sapphire blues is a truly classic autumnal palette that flatters most complexions.

The rusts contrast and complement the deep greens beautifully, drawing attention to the family as a unit.

COMPLEMENTARY

Layers work well when there is one pop of color to draw attention...in this case, his scarlet pants. The dog sure doesn't hurt either!

In this case, the mother's sweater provides a nice cozy backdrop for both of her girls to lean into.

One of the challenges of photographing individuals is ensuring visible movement. A fantastic (and easy) way to add this is through the use of layers. Not only will they move when you move, they also give you something to do with your hands.

Take Your Cues from Nature

This palette is incredibly successful because of the complementary blue and brown color scheme...all pulled from the pattern of mom's dress.

Layers Are Better with Pets
