What to Wear
I recommend wearing something more bold and colorful with a lot of texture
to show off your personality. This is an opportunity for your child or yourself to shine!
For children, bare feet, boots, or shoes
that complement their outfits. Clothing that has texture,
such as knitting, embroidery, dark faded denim, buttons, and ruffles photograph really well. Clothing that have logos can look tacky and distract from the photo.
This type of clothing tends to photograph well and adds a lot of visual interest.
It can be difficult to coordinate colors and not look too matchy. I recommend
picking a few colors but try not to put them in the same exact clothing. The
more layers, textures, and colors, the better. Just pick colors that compliment
each other. It is recommended that you use bright or deep colors (jewel tones like mustard yellow, deep purple, turquoise, dark pink, etc.) I do believe in investing in your clothing for the session since it does make
a huge difference in the final product. There is no need to spend a lot of money, but a little thought goes a long way
Families
Choose a style you like and a few colors you like as well. Having
the parents dress fashionable, yet simple, and focus more of the funky, unique
style on the kids. If you have 5 people all dressing with a lot of layers and
accessories it can be too much. Dark jeans that have grit to them are always
a great choice for the parents or especially the husband. If you are going to
wear a print, stay away from small prints and Logos
(think bold!). Continue to think about texture and color. You may think that
certain colors don’t go together, but again think out of the box and have fun!
tips:
Make Pinterest your best friend & create an inspiration board just for your session! Start pinning clothing that inspires
you and find out what stores they can be purchased from. This is a great start to your fun, yet daunting task!
I would try to stay away from logos and graphic shirts as they look too busy for photos.
If any member of the family is feeling insecure about the photo shoot. Tic Toc, Instagram and Pinterest have a lot of ideas for how to pose for faltering and slimming photos. I find them super useful for my personal photos
what to bring to your session
Please bring clothing and all accessories needed. You can arrive and get
your children dressed at the session if you are worried about them getting
messy on the way.
To be extra prepared, bring snacks, chapstick & favorite toys to comfort them if they are feeling overwhelmed at the session.
Please feel free to bring any personal items, toys, or props that may make your photos even more special for your family.
During a session with children or pets
It is my job to be ready for anything!
Children and Pets are UNPREDICTABLE... So, A lot of times parents get frustrated because sessions don’t seem to be going perfectly.
Those small moments in between all the tantrums
and chaos are beautiful. People are often surprised to see that there are
so many great pictures to choose from when all they remember is their
wild child. Don’t worry, I shoot like crazy and it’s my job to capture it all!
The only job I give parents is to relax & enjoy it! I will do all of the hard work!
I will give a lot of direction during the session so you will know exactly what
to do. Children match your energy, so if you are having fun and showing them
how much you love them, they will show you the same in return.
Once in a while, there are children that for whatever reason, do not want to be
photographed. I might ask to photograph your child or children away
from the parents so they will just focus on me and my lame jokes. It usually
works! They don’t know me and usually, children are on their best behavior
for others! This is one way we can work together to make your session
run smoothly.
