How to Look Amazing in Photos: Our Favorite Styling Tips

We think a lot about styling around here. One of the things that sets Blue Sky’s Studio apart from other Orange County photographers is our commitment to not just take great photos, but to make sure you look best in them. For us, that means taking the extra time to help you select outfits from your own wardrobe or even using select pieces from our desginer clothing library. In addition, most of our shoots include a professional makeup and hairstylist to make sure you look picture perfect and authentically your best self.

We’ve written quite a bit about this over the years so we thought it would be fun to do a roundup of some of our favorite posts and resources.

Styled Photography Sessions Throughout Orange County

I love people photography!  In fact, if I won the lottery, I would be one of those people who continued to do my job, because it is really what I love to do (oh and I would travel all over the world between shoots).  But uncovering how my clients want to be photographed, and always being focused on providing the most amazing portraits that fulfill my clients requirements, can sometimes leave me wanting to do a “just because” photo session.  Read the full post.

Styled Photography Sessions Throughout Orange County

I love people photography!  In fact, if I won the lottery, I would be one of those people who continued to do my job, because it is really what I love to do (oh and I would travel all over the world between shoots).  But uncovering how my clients want to be photographed, and always being focused on providing the most amazing portraits that fulfill my clients requirements, can sometimes leave me wanting to do a “just because” photo session.  

That is where styled commercial photography sessions come into play and why they are so important for me to continue to stretch my creativity and develop my photography skills. It also allows me to take a different perspective during the photography session.

For example, last year we decided to do a fun, collaboration styled session with Breathe Autumn Rain jewelry (click on her link to see her amazing jewelry), with makeup by Brittany Norton (brittanynortonartistry) and myself all contributing to a photography session.

We were extremely lucky to get several beautiful girls to volunteer their time to model for us in exchange for providing professional headshots for them.  We all consulted together on wardrobe, overall style and also how to best give everyone involved an opportunity to do something a little different and creative.

For the location we decided to photograph around Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.  The results were that everyone had an opportunity to play, be creative and produce gorgeous images that everyone would be able to use in their portfolio.  Enjoy!

STYLIZED EDITORIAL SESSIONS…..FAB-U-LOUS!

I am going to let you in on a little secret……..we are going to do 20 of the most AMAZING styled editorial sessions this year and we made some changes to our styled sessions to help ensure that they will all be stellar…

1.  We are only going to do 20 of them….but we are going all out for the 20 we do.

2.  We are using a professional stylist that will help with props and furniture.

3.  We are providing clothing consultations/guidance.

4.  We are spending 2-3 hours on each session.

Go big or go home, right?  I can’t wait!

Ok, and I know that the holidays are over and the LAST thing anyone wants to think about is holiday cards, but I beg of you….think about taking advantage of one of these styled sessions for your family photos for holiday cards this year…..especially those of you who want a standout, unique, “up-all-year-not-just-during-the-holidays” type of card……just something to think about.

Happy Week everyone!
