WHAT TO WEAR



One of the most frequent questions I get from clients is 'what should we wear?'


My goal is for you to feel beautiful & confident so that you can spend time enjoying your session and creating memories with your family!

To help you make sure your family is perfectly styled head to toe AND that you feel confident in what you're wearing, I've put together my favorite tips & tricks to help you style your session from start to finish.

PLUS, you'll get full access to my customized styling tool when you book!

Style My Session!

1) Stick With Your Style



Your own style & personality are important, and we want that to shine!


Photo sessions are the perfect excuse to get a little dressed up. (Think a nice wedding or a night out, not just your everyday casual).

​ Choose outfits that you are comfortable in, that are timeless, and that make you, you!



2) Choose a Neutral Color Palette



YOU will be the focus of your session & images, so it helps to keep everything else neutral & simple.


* Wear complementary color tones
* Mix, and match patterns with solids.
* Think soft pastels like blush, cream & white, grey & brown, or rich tones like navy, forest green, mustard yellow, plum

& rust!



3) A Few Things To Avoid



* Don't wear sporty tennis shoes (brown or camel boots, flats, or leather looks best)
* Skip anything with large logos
* No neon colors
* Avoid baggy clothes (Fitted, but not too tight will photograph better & be more flattering)
* Shorts for dad --> They're cute on kids, but in general, pants are more flattering especially because we will be sitting with kids in your lap a lot!
* Try not to match everyone in the session. (Coordinate instead)



4) Add In Texture



Texture gives dimension & adds softness. Adding in a belt or scarf... layering a sweater over a button-up shirt, or adding in a hat & boots is often the difference between an outfit that is just 'okay' and one that looks amazing!


The goal is for you to feel comfortable in whatever you are wearing while giving your images visual interest & flattering you & your body.




5) Movement




Your images will be in a variety of positions (standing, sitting, snuggling your little ones, etc). Your clothing should allow you to move freely with your little one.


I adore long flowy dresses for this reason. It's an easy no-fuss choice that creates beautiful movement & lines.





<< Lifestyle Sessions >>



For the majority of your session, I suggest dressing your baby in a simple onesie (white, cream or neutral, or soft pastel) or a knotted gown. Keep the outfit comfortable, but snug so that we can see just how tiny & cute your little one is!


Lifestyle sessions are photographed in your home where you are the most comfortable. They should therefore complement your home and surroundings. ​

Mom >> Long maxi dress, leggings & a cute sweater... you'll want to be comfortable post baby, so choose something that you feel great in that is comfortable. If you're nursing, keep that in mind for mid-session feedings!

Dad >>Dark jeans or colored khakis, and a plain t-shirt or sweater.
Siblings >>Knit dresses, leggings, overalls, or jeans & a sweater.

Go ahead and skip the socks & shoes here too... bare feet look most natural in your home.
