What to Wear for Your Modeling Photo Session
At Myles Studio Photography, it is my number one goal to bring out the best in you, creating photos that look natural and capture your personality.
One of the most important factors in creating a great portrait is deciding what to wear. This can make or break your photo session. For photo sessions in our studio, we recommend to bring something casual and something a little more formal, and something just for the fun of it!
Solid colors work well, and can stand the test of time. Try to avoid anything with a lot of patters, like polka dots or stripes. Bright colored clothing can work and is even encouraged. But most importantly, wear something that is comfortable and matches your personality. We do recommend bringing in a few additional outfits just in case. (ie outfit malfunction). You may also wear something that shows who you are, like a hat, scarf, or other type of accessory. Clothing should also be flattering to your body type.
For females, we also recommend to have your hair and makeup professionally done. But that is totally up to you. If you do your own make-up, try to keep is simple. As the saying goes, less is more. Be sure to bring a comb and/or brush as well. Accessories like hats, scarves, and sunglasses also can add to the shoot. For footwear, we recommend shoes or boots. But again, if you're wearing jeans, sneakers can work. Once you pick out your outfits, look at yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself, "is this the look I want"
For boys and men, we recommend something formal like a tux or suit, or for boys, maybe a polo shirt. something casual like jeans, a T-shirt or casual button shirt, and an outfit that shows off his physic.
Next, when your photo shoot is outdoors, neutral colors work well, like browns, blues, tans ect… But it does depend on the season. For example, warm colors in the fall (think autumn leaves), cool colors in the winter, and more vibrant colors in the spring and summer. Avoid sneakers and white or bright socks, unless the outfit call for it.
Remember, you photo session needs to show an agency how you look and act in front of the camera. So have fun, and show off your personality.
If you have any questions regarding what to wear, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can reach us at (845) 834-3480, or complete our contact form.
What to Wear for a Family Portrait
Family portraits are so special. A great portrait can stay in the family for generations. At Myles Studio Photography we know that your family means everything to you. You laugh together, cry together, take vacations together. Your love for each other is endless. That's why we want to make sure we help to create a family portrait that shows who you are as a family, while also making sure you look your best. Whether your a family of 2 or 20, with multiple generations, it's my job to bring out the best in you.
In order to make a great family portrait, one of the most important factors is deciding what to wear. Your clothing can make of brake your photo session. Below are some tips to help.
1. Choose a color theme. This can be done in several ways. By wearing all the same color, wearing shades of the same color, or choosing a dominant color and one or two complimentary colors. Take a look at a few photos below. But keep in mind, you can put your own twist to it and wear clothing that's comfortable.
2. Your footwear also plays a key. Shoes and boots work best. Sneakers should only be worn if compliment your outfit, like your wearing jeans and t-shirts. Most importantly, your shoes between each family member should match in color and style. For example, if brown boots are worn, everyone should have some type of brown boot.
3 Clothing should be in the same style. If mom is wearing something formal, the the rest of the family should be formal as well.
4. This is a fun tip. Bring props if you like. For example, everyone in caps, or everyone wearing sun glasses. Use your imagination.
For Holiday Portraits like Christmas or Easter, you can really have fun. For example wearing Christmas pajamas. (See photos below) Or dresses and suits for attending Easter Sunday Service.
We want you to not only enjoy your photos, but the photo session as well. We invite you to contact us for your family portrait. It will definitely be worth it. If interested in reserving your photo session with us, just fill out our contact form, and we'll be in touch.

Lambs Hill - Venue Highlight
There are so many amazing wedding venues in the hudson Valley. One of my favorite venues I've had the opportunity to work at is the Lambs Hill Venue in Beacon NY. It's like a place out of a storybook. The view is amazing, the banquet space has such a rustic charm. Add the farm animals that they allow the wedding couples to be photographed next to, and you come up with amazing photos and amazing memories. Take a look at these photos from a wedding at this wonderful venue.

I hope you can see why Lambs Hill is one of my favorite locations for weddings. If your looking for a place that is unique, and that is extra special, especial during the times we're in, then check out Lambs Hill. It works perfectly for a wedding, micro wedding, elopement, or even a vow renewal. I love photographing here, and hope that you will not only choose lambs Hill, but also choose Myles Studio Photography to capture your day.
Thank you.

Mikayla's Senior Portrait Session
Mikayla is a very special young lady who came to our studio for her senior photos. She and her mom knew right away that they not only wanted to do some traditional cap and gown photos, but also studio and on location photos, so that is what we did. In studio we had fun with the cap and gown, adding a few props to enhance the session, while also doing several wardrobe changes to add even more pizzazz.
We later traveled to Minnewaska State Park where we walked on the trails by a rushing stream and waterfalls for some more awesome photos! Here are a some of my favorite pics.
