To Remember When Dressing Your Child For A Priceless Photographic Portrait Darker Backgrounds help the face to dominate the portrait, particularly when the child is wearing a simple, medium to dark color garment. A simple facial study can be very effective when a medium to dark sweater or shirt is worn. Coveralls present a classic look for boys or girls, and the portrait is particularly appealing when cute little bare arms are revealed.
Different Backgrounds create different looks, depending on the choice of clothing.
Props and backgrounds should always be chosen to complement the clothing and support the mood of the portrait. Clothing coordination is very important when more than one child appears in the portrait.
