And what a great occasion for a family picture. Congratulations to the graduate.<br /> I second JESSIKAM’s tip but would add try not to have your body face camera straight on- turn body at an angle.<br /> Agree with GREY-prints sometimes don’t photo well.<br /> I would think a lighter color dress would be fine ( light or medium blue for example - but not limited to blue- what is a great color on you normally?)<br /> Since she is being honored and is wearing long, I think short for Mom and Sis would let the graduate stand out as honoree. FYI- depending on lighting at venue her dress may read as black in picture. So assuming Dad is wearing a dark suit you may not want the whole family dressed dark.<br /> It is a happy occasion after all;-)<br /> Most of all have fun! With them growing up fast these memories will be great to have as they move on with their plans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-dilema#post-1917023 Mon, 07 May 2018 11:16:29 +0000 Jessikams 1917023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned a good photo tip: pretend you are looking at someone you really love. Like, when you look at the camera, pretend your best friend is standing there. The photos can capture a look of welcome or delight— so nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-dilema#post-1916975 Mon, 07 May 2018 06:06:34 +0000 greycat6 1916975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun and what a great way to memorialize the event!</p> <p>I suggest that everyone wear coordinating solid color garments in a similar level of dressiness. Prints don’t always photograph well and can distract from the faces in photos. If your DD is a navy long dress, maybe you and other DD could wear a dark colored dresses, not neccessarily long, and husband could wear dark suit. </p> <p>Most importantly, remember to relax and have fun. Genuine smiles always make for beautiful photos no matter what you are wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-dilema#post-1916974 Mon, 07 May 2018 05:55:48 +0000 Jodi 1916974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,<br /> Just signed up to youlookfab and looking for suggestions please. My daughter is graduating high school this year and her formal is coming up soon. She has chosen a slim fitting navy blue dress to wear. We are having family photos taken at the event and I am not sure how to co-ordinate with her. The family includes me, my husband and her younger sister (13). I have realised I'm terrible at this sort of thing. Pls help Open to any colours and styles TIA </p>
