Usually when someone books I session, I am asked what they should wear. Because of this, I decided to make a clothing guide with some suggestions for children – adults, you’re on your own! Really though, browns, creams and greys are great neutrals that you can match up with other solids or patterns. When I say patterns, I do mean simple patterns - too many busy patterns can be distracting in photos. In planning for a session, I advise to parents find the perfect kids’ outfit and then see what they have that matches it. Jeans, jean skirts, and khakis are great basics for parents to start with. I also recommend staying away from white. When the entire family is wearing white, the white shirts stand out and take away from the gorgeous subjects. Feel free to bring a few outfits along to your session and we can mix and match to see what looks best. Also keep in mind that children are happy in clothes that are comfortable. If your child doesn’t normally wear big dresses with tights and she is more comfy in jeans, let her wear jeans! I will be able to capture a child that is happy and content rather than a child that is uncomfortable and cranky.
