How to Choose the Perfect Outfits for Your 40 Over 40 Beauty Portraits
When you book your session for our exclusive 40 Over 40 Experience, one of the most exciting parts is selecting the perfect outfits to bring your vision to life. Whether this is your first time stepping in front of the camera for beauty portraits or you’re already a seasoned pro, styling plays a big role in how you feel during your shoot and how you’ll fall in love with your portraits.
As part of your experience at our studio here in Chattanooga, TN, you’ll have full access to our carefully curated client closet. From luxurious fabrics to flattering cuts, our collection has been designed to offer you stunning wardrobe options that fit a wide variety of styles and sizes. But while we have you covered with beautiful pieces, we always encourage our clients to bring at least one or two outfits that feels uniquely “you.”
Why Your Personal Touch Matters
This session is about celebrating YOU—your story, your strength, your beauty. That’s why bringing something personal to wear can make all the difference. Whether it’s a favorite dress, a power suit, or even a flowy blouse that makes you feel confident and radiant, incorporating your own wardrobe adds a meaningful and authentic touch to your beauty portraits.
Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Outfit
Here are a few things to consider when planning your wardrobe for your 40 Over 40 beauty session:
Flatter Your Silhouette – Choose pieces that highlight your favorite features. V-necks, wrap dresses, or tailored blazers can be incredibly flattering and timeless.
Textures & Layers – Satin, lace, chiffon, or even leather can photograph beautifully. Layering with jackets or accessories adds dimension to your portraits.
Stay True to Your Style – Whether your style is bold and edgy or soft and romantic, bring outfits that feel authentic to you.
Color Choices – Jewel tones, neutrals, and rich shades often translate well on camera and complement a variety of skin tones.
Comfort is Confidence – The most important rule: wear something that makes you feel comfortable and empowered. Confidence will always shine through in your photos.
