Follow Sophie & Arthur's 5 tips to get your own photo finish:

1. On what to wear: Father and daughter both agree to wear something you can move in like the Preen Bridget Dress.

2. On color: Arthur is partial to black like the Prabal Garung Perfect Hourglass Dress, but Sophie thinks color makes a stunning statement like the Calvin Klein Collection Donalda Dress.

3. On shoes: Arthur prefers a classic skinny heel like feminine Manolo Blahniks.  Sophie agrees but likes to mix it up with modern chunky platforms. If you're tall, they both agree that a beautiful pair of flats can be utterly elegant with a dress.

4. On finishing touches: Keep your hair simple and don’t be too fussy.  Never fail options are pulling it back in a pony tail or bun or wearing it down.

5. Above all else:  Be comfortable in your look so that your personality can show through. It's easy to get a good photo when the model or subject can be herself.
