First of all, how can one family hold all of this beauty?! Such great hair on all of these humans! Also, if you know the Hannah’s you know that they are absolutely just as beautiful on the inside. Kurt is the lead pastor at Missio Dei here in Cincinnati. That means Shannon and I have quite a bit in common. I know what it means to sacrifice so much for the calling of Christ in your life. I know what it means more than most. I’m so thankful that they’re obedient and willing to do whatever it takes to reach our city. I love you guys! I had a blast capturing your beautiful, fun, spunky little family.

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.
