What Should I Wear?

Babies: Especially newborns, put them in an easy-to-take-off shirt. Nap time is always the best for newborns so try to schedule a session when they are sleepy (older babies should be awake and not sleepy).

Children: Tutus or pettiskirts. Classic button-up top and khakis, knitted hats / jumpers / vests /etc. Children and babies also look great sporting mom and dad's stuff too (boys wearing dad's football helmet and holding a football; girls in mommy's high heels and jewelry)
Sun dresses or multi-layers always look great as well...stay away from big logos.

For feet: Most of the time, bare feet are the best! Bare feet in the summer, whether clean or dirty, look great. If you prefer shoes, I suggest something fun and sassy and "plain" (no emblems/logos/cartoon characters to distract.) In the cold winter months, worn leather or fluffy boots look fantastic. Rain boots are always fun as well.

For a family: You don't have to match completely but please consider dressing in similar color tones or harmonizing themed outfits. Choosing the clothing for your session is all part of the fun, so feel free to go crazy and bring a few outfits along with you to choose from. A little variety never hurts!

Engagement/ Wedding Session: Girls: frills and accessories (killer shoes) are perfect. Guys: color coordinate with your girl and have layers (tie/ blazer/ vests/ suspenders). Remember to stay away from logos and such. Bring changes of clothes and accessories if you would like. Want to bring a memento? Email me and we'll chat!

Seniors: Bring a bunch of different outfits that suit your personality. But once more, stay away from big logos and such. Hats, jackets, layers, themed ideas (athletics, etc), are all fun. Props are cool if done right so lets brainstorm.

You want balloons? A bike? Some furniture? Maybe even a puppy? Do anything that screams your own personality, that's what you should go with. Remember to have fun.
