What to Wear {Winter Photo Shoot Wardrobe Inspiration}

I love all of the colors in this What to Wear Edition.  It's interesting and bright!  You can't go wrong with a photo shoot wardrobe like this one!

What To Wear {Fall Photo Shoot Wardrobe Inspiration}

Cabernet, Chocolate and Orange...

This sounds like the beginnings of a yummy desert.  But today, they are the color inspiration for another Fall edition of What To Wear!!!  I love this combo, since it includes some of my very favorite colors.  You will find these colors in so many of the trees in the South around the end of October and they make me one happy photographer :) . 

If you like to go with a more traditional color pallet for your Fall Portraits, then this would be an excellent choice.  It is still very traditional, but you can add some edge to it with great accessories, a fun scarf or a brown leather jacket or boots.

I am a little behind on blog posts and hope to have all of my sessions up from the past 2 weeks by Friday.  If you are waiting for your post...I apologize!  I am working away...I promise!

Love to You All & God Bless!!!!!

What To Wear {Photo Shoot Wardrobe Inspiration}

What should my family wear for our photo shoot?  It's an age old question, and quite the source of anxiety for a lot of clients.  We want to coordinate, but not be too matchy-matchy...right?  What colors work best?  What is everyone else wearing?  Do we want to be classic, or stick to the current fashion trends?  These are all questions I hear before virtually every session.  I hope to give you some color inspiration, and maybe some unique ideas for your photo shoot.  Many of these items may already be in your closets.  And if not, they are easily accessible in stores like The Gap and Old Navy.

For instance, my first feature is using cool colors, in lieu of the reds, oranges and golds that people tend to associate with Fall.  Different...but fun and equally appropriate for this time of year. Notice the color pallet and how the outfits all coordinate, but also provide a distinctive "look" for each person.  All items come from The Gap, Old Navy and Piperlime.com.  I hope this gets the creative juices flowing! 

Happy Friday Everyone.  Have a Wonderful Weekend!!!!!

How Should I Dress My Children For Their Photo Session?

I am asked this questions before almost EVERY session. It's hard to put together an outfit for a child, especially one that you are going to have documented in a photograph that will last an eternity! I know parents who put A LOT of pressure on themselves to get it just right. Personally, I do not like for my subjects to be too matchy-matchy. I love when a client arrives for the shoot in an outfit that is a little off-beat and edgy.

Below, I have some examples of clothing that I would love to photograph a child in. The looks are all about layering, which gives you the option to take a jacket off or add a hat for a whole different look without too much effort.

Like I said, these are just ideas. You do not have to dress your children in these exact outfits in order to book a session with me. It's really just a guide with some ideas...it's the feel I'm going for. The photos below are courtesy of Children's Place, Gap Kids, and Justice. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to bounce any ideas off of me before a shoot.
