These outfits are recommended for your Portrait Sessions for your little one(s). Take a look at the 3 photo boards I’ve created with different color scheme’s (Blue, Fall Colors, and Black & White) for you to get inspiration from.
TIPS FOR ALL SESSIONS:
*Avoid logos or writing on clothing.
*Avoid fluorescent/neon/bright colors near the face- they create unflattering color casts on the skin.
*The most flattering colors to photograph are whites, greys, blues, and pinks. Try not to choose green if we’re photographing outdoors.
*Have a light layering piece (cardigan/button-up/light jacket) for versatility during the shoot.
*Try to pick casual (but nice) pieces. If we’re photographing in nature; anything too fancy will look silly.
*Comfort is key- choose comfortable items in soft fabrics and easy-to-wear pieces; things you don’t have to fuss with to get to look perfect.

TIPS FOR CHILDREN SESSIONS:
*Aim for one outfit that has layers or is easily interchangeable to mix up looks for the session. For example- having a pretty dress and bringing a cardigan or light jacket easily creates two or three different looks per child without having to do a full outfit change.
*Pick shoes that have straps and stay on for kids on the move.
*Think about their personality, you want their photos to reflect who they really are. If your daughter never wear dresses in real life, don’t force her because you think you have to. If your son hates being buttoned up- choose a more comfortable/casual shirt.
*Little Girls: I highly recommend a comfortable dress with feminine details (ruffles, lace, floral), a lightweight cardigan/jacket and a coordinating flower headband.
*Little Boys: A nice tee/polo with a fun button up or sweater on top, jeans, and slip-on sneakers are a great look for any little boy.

TIPS FOR FAMILY SESSIONS:
*Choose one outfit per family member, with different layering pieces that can easily be interchanged for different looks without any full outfit changes.
*Pick from one color board (Blue, Fall Colors, and Black & White) for the whole family.
*The idea is to be coordinated, but not matchy-matchy.
*Patterns look good if used sparingly- pick a few members to wear solids, and a few for patterns.
*Think about your personalities, you want your photos to reflect who you really are. If you never wear dresses in real life, don’t force yourself because you think you have to. If a guy does not like dressing up- that’s fine! Pick a casual button-up and some dark denim jeans.
