I get asked all the time from my wonderful clients how they should dress. So, I decided to put together this little guide along with some examples that will hopefully help ease your stress about the details of your upcoming session. Feel free to e-mail me if you still have questions or want to send along outfit options for my opinion.

Avoid: Matching. The whole white shirt and khakis thing is so 1994.

Instead: Try coordinating! Pick a few colors or even a whole pallet of coordinating colors and fill in the rest with neutrals. Think Jewel tones or spring colors!

Avoid: Big clothing, especially for kids. Our tendency, as mothers, it to buy clothing a little big so it will fit longer.

Instead: Buy your kiddos clothes even a little smaller than you normally would so they don’t look baggy in your photographs.

Avoid: Lots of black or white. And neon. Just say no to neon!!

Instead: Try something a little less extreme. Cream or navy are great options! Even better, add in a pop of color.

Avoid: Small patterns, especially pinstripes. They end up making your shirt look almost wavy.

Instead: Try plaids, florals, or animal prints.

Avoid: Solid, plain outfits.

Instead: Add layers and texture. Corduroy, flannel, lace, cable knit, and denim are fabulous examples of texture!

Avoid: Panicking about outfit choices!!!

Instead: Let one person (AKA the outfit picker, herself) find something she feels beautiful in and then chose the other outfits from there.

Here are a few of my very favorite places to shop for great, photo-worthy outfits.
