Helping You Look & Feel Your Best in Front of the Camera!
Spring is all about soft, fresh, and airy tones! Whether you’re going for a classic, romantic, or casual look, here are some tips to help you choose an outfit that complements the season and makes your photos shine.
Before getting started, please understand that these are only suggestions. At the end of the day the number one thing I want you to remember is that you (& or your family) should look and feel like you best selves!
Spring is the perfect time to embrace:
✔ Soft pastels (blush, sage, baby blue, lavender)
✔ Earthy neutrals (cream, beige, taupe, light gray)
✔ Pops of color (soft yellow, coral, mint)
✔ Classic whites for a timeless touch
For Women & Mamas-to-Be:
✔ Flowy dresses or skirts add movement and a soft, dreamy look.
✔ Soft, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and chiffon.
✔ Simple patterns like florals or subtle stripes.
✔ Neutral sandals, flats, or wedges for a cohesive look.
For Men:
✔ Neutral chinos or light-wash jeans paired with a button-up shirt or henley.
✔ Avoid bold logos or heavy patterns.
✔ Light-colored sneakers, loafers, or casual dress shoes work best.
For Kids:
✔ Pastel or neutral-colored outfits to complement parents.
✔ Dresses, rompers, or soft-colored overalls for a classic spring look.
✔ Avoid clothing with big characters or neon shades.
I highly suggest to coordinate, not match.
You don’t want to create the illusion of being a siamese twin. When multiple people wear the same color, sometimes their matching outfits merge/blend together so much that you can’t really see any of them properly. The viewer can’t tell where one person begins and another one ends. They turn into one uniform blob.
In order for the aesthetics of your photograph to really sing, you want to find complementary outfits that showcase a variety of colors, textures, accessories, patterns, and tones. Complement the other people in the photograph as well as your surroundings. The idea is to have everything look good together without everything looking the same.
- Some toddlers tend to take naps during car rides, if this sounds like your child I highly recommend arriving 30 minutes earlier so your kids can be fully awake before we start your your session - The reason I bring this up is because the majority of toddlers after waking up look sad and confused throughout the session.
- Make sure hair is combed and face is clean and free of runny noses or eyes.
-Avoid eating or drinking red or orange food or drinks before the session, as red and orange tend to leave a stain on the face.
- Bribery is not always necessary to get your child to cooperate, although a little incentive doesn’t hurt! Promise them before hand that they are going to have a great time (I’m a fun photographer!) and getting their pictures taken will be a blast. An incentive of a treat or fun event after their session may help, but they don’t need to “perform” for me…it is my job to make this fun for everyone!
- Some babies and children may be more comfortable without a parent watching. Feel free to step out of their view and watch from a distance (this also gets them to look at the camera and not off to the side!). Any shots with props or a young baby, we will of course have a parent “spot” for safety.
-Please do not bring any children that are not being photographed to the session.
