Stress-Free Styling

  • Say No to Fluorescents: Fluorescent colors can create unflattering hues on skin and hair. Opt for softer, more natural versions of primary colors like mustard yellow, maroon, and navy blue for a pleasing palette.

  • Mind Your Greens: Avoid wearing too much green in lush settings to prevent blending in too much. Green accents, however, can enhance your outfit amidst the greenery.

  • Start with a Favorite Piece: Kick off your family's outfit planning with one piece you adore and build around it. This approach can set a cohesive theme for your session.

  • Comfort is Key: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. If you're not a fan of dresses, stylish jeans can work wonders. Remember, your comfort will shine through in your photos.

What to wear guide.

Getting ready for your photo session doesn't have to be overwhelming. With these simple tips, you can easily assemble outfits that look amazing on camera and reflect your unique style. Forget the days of matching in white or khaki—let's celebrate your individuality with colors, prints, and layers that pop!

  • Layer for Success: Layers add depth and dimension to your photos. Accessories like belts and necklaces can elevate your look, especially in simpler setups.

  • Fit Matters: Clothes that fit well look best on camera. Aim for a tailored appearance, which might mean selecting a size down for a more fitted look.

  • Coordinate, Don't Match: Embrace color coordination over matching. Select two to three main colors and an accent shade for a harmonious but varied group appearance.

  • Simplify for Newborns: Keep outfits minimal for newborn sessions. Neutral colors focus the attention on your little one, with soft pinks or blues as gentle accents if desired.

Tips for Every Body

  • Maxi Dresses Work Wonders: Flattering for all, maxi dresses are versatile and stylish.

  • Skinny Jeans Flatter: Paired with heels or wedges, they elongate the legs and flatter curves.

  • Shop with a Trusted Friend: An outside perspective can be invaluable for finding flatter outfits.

  • Highlight Your Assets: Wear what showcases your favorite features and boosts your confidence.

  • Embrace Timelessness: Classic looks never fade. Consider incorporating vintage or simple, elegant pieces that stand the test of time.

  • For the Kids: Ensure their outfits fit well and reflect their personalities. Avoid overly large clothes and character shoes, opting for cohesive, comfortable choices that let their individuality shine.
