GRADUATING SENIORS, ADULTS
*Solids photograph best but plaids, polka dots, etc are good, too! If you wear a busy top, keep it simple on bottom and vice versa! We want you (and not your outfit) to be the focal point. :)
*Layers (jackets, sweaters, kimonos, etc.)
*Wear smart shoes that match your outfit!
*Accesorize!
*For ladies, you can change your hairstyle in-between outfits for more variation.
*Bring anything that is significant to you (sports equipment, dance gear, etc).
COUPLES
*Coordinate with each other by wearing similar colors.
*For classic images, I encourage a dress for the lady and an ironed button-up shirt for the fella with jeans or khakis.
*Wear smart shoes that match!
*Bring any trinket that is significant to your relationship that you would like captured.
FAMILIES
*Make sure Momma's outift is something she feels confident in. In fact, I encourage moms pick THEIR outift first and coordinate everyone to them. (Ex: white and blue, or black and gold, purple and mustard, etc.). Mixing 2 or 3 colors is a good rule of thumb. Choosing one nuetral is a good idea, as well: white, black, tan, gold, sometimes even blue is a neutral!
*Everyone does not have to wear the exact same thing to look well put together.
*Wear smart shoes that match!
MATERNITY
*Recommended between 30th and 35th week of pregnancy
*Wear form-fitting outifts to show off your bump!
*Dresses are gorgeous on mommies-to-be!
*Bring things you've purchased for baby to include in the images.
*Wear smart shoes that match.
*Dads included in the photos simply need to coordinate with Mommy-to-be. Sorry, Dad... you're not the center of attention on these! ;-)
NEWBORNS
*Recommended within baby's first 10 days
*Babies look wonderful just wrapped up in a cozy blanket and they LOVE warmth. Bring any special blanket they have.
*2 or 3 favorite newborn outfits
*Headbands for girls, bonnets/ hats for boys
*A diaper cover-up for some images with just a diaper on.
*If parents/ siblings are included in the shoot, I encourage simple outifts for everyone else to not distract from the baby.
