I am so excited for your session! I feel so honored to capture these special moments in your life together. I’ve created this guide to help you get the most out of your photos!

Let's Talk Colors

Colors are so important and really help with my editing style!

When choosing color(s) for your outfits, I recommend selecting soft, light tones and muted shades. Avoid bright colors.

"Safe" Colors:

Sage green, forest green, golden yellow, burnt orange, heather gray, creams, tans, leather, denim, blush, soft white/cream, and black as accent pieces.

this time with your kids is so important

Family Coordination

My number one principle for a family for their photo session is "coordinating, not matching."

1) START WITH A "THREE CORE COLOR" PALETTE OF NEUTRALS & NEARLY-NEUTRALS

2) ADD ONE OR TWO ACCENT COLORS
If you want to add a bit of variety, or if you can't find a complete outfit from your 3 core colors, add in one or two accent colors, to be used less frequently than the core colors.
These colors should complement the neutrals and nearly-neutrals that you're already using.

Cut & Style

Flowy dresses and skirts look amazing on camera because they bring extra movement to the photos!

Men- Nice fitting button up, neautral polo, long sleeve or sweater. Layering can be fun! Denim jacket or a solid color jacket could look good.

A solid colored shoe. You can never go wrong with brown leather shoes! A simple slip on shoe would also work. Skip the running shoes!

Fabrics & Prints

A solid-colored fabric is always a winner, but if you don't want to wear (or don't have) a solid-colored dress, select a print that is minimalist and understated, rather than bold and design-forward. Dainty florals, repetitive geometric motifs or small stripes.

Another way to add visual interest is to opt for texture like lace, seersucker, linen, denim, chiffon, or tulle.

Caution- Some sweaters or sweater like material may have a small/tight knit or design, when this design is photographed it may show up busy and "pixelated" almost like distorted lines, this happens from the photo being compressed for computer and phone use etc.
