PLAY WITH TEXTURES

Sometimes textures like lace, furs and sparkles can be considered “daring” or “over

the top” but, in portraits, they are the BEST! Adding texture to your outfit makes

the biggest difference, and it prevents the images from looking

dull! Combining textures that you may not normally use together

like sequins + cable knit sweaters or leather + fur make GREAT pairs!

MIX IT UP

When planning your outfits, make sure that

you have a VARIETY of looks!

I always recommend choosing 2-3

outfits with accessories.

This provides a beautiful array

of looks during your

session, so each outfit looks

dramatically different!

Family Sessions:

This is where textures come into play the

best! When shooting with multiple

people keeping a similar color palette is

important and textures will add character

and mix it up! Your children do NOT

have to be matchy matchy, I actually

prefer they have their own look that

brings out their personality!

BE COMFORTABLE

If you do not like fitted

clothing (super tight dresses

or pieces that fit awkwardly)

then leave them at home!

Personally, I try to steer

clear of items that are fitted in the tummy

area (don’t we all?) just

because they tend to bunch up and

become wrinkly and unflattering.

So, if there are pieces in

your closet that make you

feel self-conscious or uncomfortable, don’t

include them in your wardrobe! Additionally, we

will most likely be sitting on the ground, laying down,

walking and doing other things that could be difficult

if your clothing is uncomfortable!
