What to Wear│ Spring 2011

Despite the dreary, rainy weather we're having this week, Spring is here and Spring sessions can be so much fun!  I love how green everything is, so fresh and hopeful, full of new life.  Most people think bold colors are a must for photography sessions, but against the bold, fresh green grasses this gray/white/yellow palette would be perfection as it pops and draws all the attention to the subjects in a very subtle way.  Always a fan of yellow (it just makes me happy), I love the yellow headband paired with a simple white top and chinos.  And that yellow ruffle top?  Ahhh....I want!

What to Wear - Fall Family Session

Many clients want to know, "What should we wear?"  Deciding on clothing for a photo session can be very stressful for some and great fun for others.  For years I have seen photo after photo of families all wearing the same color top with khaki pants or jeans, and while there is nothing wrong with this uniform cohesive style, I believe there is so much more personality brought to the images with a little bit of styling help and variety.

When working with families I like each person to be unique, dressed true to themselves, but in such a way that they are complimentary to one another when brought together as the whole.  Here is an example I put together of a family of four - notice the color palette is built around gray and a soft plum.
