Wardrobe

One thing I’ve learned over the years…wardrobe can make or break your photos! This often feels intimidating and because of that, I’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks to make it easy. I’ve seen it all, and I’m here to help!

First, lets get the right color palette in mind.

DO choose:

Earthy tones + jewel tones
Creams, oatmeal, taupe, beige
Dark denim, navy, muted blues

AVOID if possible:

Bright/neon colors (they cast weird tones on skin)
Bright white (it photographs very cool against my warm editing style & can look dirty)
Super bright blues (like robin’s egg / Easter blue/Pastel blue)
Green for spring & summer outdoor sessions (you’ll blend right into the trees)

Important nuance:
I love green and blue… just not every shade, and not in every season.
For example: green works beautifully in late fall when the landscape is more neutral. July? Not so much.

Now, time to mix and match.

Step 1: Dress mom first! If you’re comfortable, the rest will fall into place. Flowy dresses photograph beautifully and leave lots of room to move around and still look great.

Step 2: One kiddo? Put them in a plain color if mom is in a pattern, or vice versa. Multiple kids? Choose one to have a pattern and the others in plain color.
