BE YOURSELF when choosing an outfit :)

As I am now receiving many calls to book Spring sessions, I am also getting a lot of inquiries about what clothing I recommend for these sessions.

If you are going to have Spring portraits done this year, I challenge you to think outside the box. Portraits are not what they used to be. You can feel free to let loose, don’t feel as if you have to match the entire family. While shopping keep these three key words in mind. Cool. Funky. Cute. If you do, I promise you will be so happy with the results!

I LOVE layers. LOVE THEM! Layers are a great way to add depth and interest to a photo without being distracting AND it gives you the option of shedding or adding layers to create a new look. Scarves, hats, jewelry, cardigans… all wonderful! Just be cautious to not pile the layers on the kids so heavily that their faces are blocked.

The focus of your photos is YOU, so let your clothes compliment you rather than overpower you. Patterns are totally fine as long as they don’t distract from your face. Also keep in mind that you don’t want competing patterns among your group being photographed.

Yet everyone has their own thing going. These are just tips... you don't have to go out and buy all new clothes for a photo shoot!

DENIM: It's awesome in a portrait and matches with almost any color!
