Especially postpartum, making sure mom is comfortable & confident is key! Start with your outfit and build from there. Dresses, maxi skirts & a cute t-shirt or tank top are ultra flattering, plus the length allows you to run and play with your children without worrying about adjusting your outfit.
If you’re unsure of what to wear or want something extra special, let’s chat about my client closet!!

I know how fast kids grow, but this isn't the time to buy ahead with room to grow. Make sure their outfits fit just right- we want to make sure that we can see how little and cute they are + show off their personality!

Make sure they are comfortable, and can move & play so that they're not fidgeting with their outfit the whole time!

Let's keep it simple & keep the focus on your cute baby! For the majority of your session, I suggest dressing your baby in a simple onesie (white, cream or neutral, or soft pastel) or a knotted gown. Keep the outfit comfortable, but snug so that we can see just how tiny & cute your little one is! I also love showing off those adorable rolls, so just a plain diaper and a soft blanket is perfect too!

Here's the short list of things to skip for your session: Brand logos/words on shirts + characters, neon colors, puffy shirts/vests, ill-fitting clothing (too big/too tight... stiff or boxy fabrics), jersey knit (undergarments will show!), Apple watches (I love mine too, but not for a session!), shorts for dad (They're cute on kids, but pants are more flattering especially because we will be sitting with kids in your lap a lot.)

Texture gives dimension & adds softness. Adding in a belt or scarf... layering a cozy sweater over a button-up shirt, or adding in a hat & boots is often the difference between an outfit that is just 'okay' and one that looks amazing!

The goal is for you to feel comfortable in whatever you are wearing while giving your images visual interest & flattering you & your body.

Get ready to move!! Your images will be in a variety of positions (standing, sitting, snuggling your little ones, etc). Your clothing should allow you to move freely with your little one. I adore long flowy dresses for this reason. It's an easy no-fuss choice that creates beautiful movement & lines. For little ones wearing dresses, it's always a good idea to add bloomers or little shorts because there will be lots of dancing & twirling!

This is where things can get tough, but we want YOU to be the focus of your images. Keep everything neutral & simple. Wear complementary color tones & mix and match patterns with solids.

My fav colors include neutrals (cream, grey, tan, brown & khaki) + rich tones ( mustard yellow, rust, burnt orange, camels & browns, deep dusty blues and and forest greens).

Your images will be hanging in your home (or at least I hope that's where they are, and not just in a desk drawer!) Pick outfits that will compliment your surroundings and look good proudly displayed on those walls!

Field full of flowers? Flowy dresses and little rompers are perfect! Snuggles at home? Cozy & comfy layers for the win!

I'm not saying that you need all new shoes... but they do matter.

Make sure they're clean and match what you're wearing and aren't just an afterthought. Barefoot is also adorable indoors and out, but make sure your feet are protected if we're doing a lot of walking. I suggest something easy to slip on and off if you’re going barefoot for most of your session.
