Spring Portrait Outfits

Trendsetting Thursdays
February 4, 2010Today’s “What to Wear” discussion is for the kids. You do not have to buy your girls the exact same dresses…I know being a mom of two girls with a 5 year age difference between them, that is a difficult task anyway. And, as your daughter’s get older, they’ll have their own styles.
By selecting outfits with same color tones, the children will “match” enough to create a harmonious picture without their faces competing for a focal point in the portrait! Also, remember to choose clothing that has the same formality level. You wouldn’t want your girls dressed in a taffeta dress and patent leathers if your boy is going to be wearing jeans!
While shoes might be required for a more formal portrait, even opting for a barefoot for a few poses would be OK. Sometimes there isn’t anything cuter than little piggies peeking out from a pretty dress or khakis!

Trendsetting Thursdays: Just the two of you
January 28, 2010I had started something like this awhile ago - but got a little slack in updating it. So, here we go. Today I thought I’d start out with something for the ‘grown-ups’ in the family. Yes, you too should have your portraits taken every once in awhile. Whether you are celebrating a special anniversary, an engagement, or just a holiday or even JUST BECAUSE, getting a professional portrait once in a while is just the ticket! After all, you go through changes as well.
Just like when you are selecting an outfit for family portraits, you should keep things simple. Keep colors in the same tones…and avoid opposing patterns. Following these simple rules will help keep the focus on the two of you, rather than your shirts!
Fashion Friday
September 4, 2009For today’s Fashion Friday I’ve dressed a pair of siblings. Both sister and brother can show off their own style without being matchy-matchy -yet still coordinate for those upcoming holiday portraits.
What to Wear Wednesdays | Raleigh Family Photographer
July 29, 2009Quite a few of my clients ask what they should wear to a photo session. When I am providing suggestions, I take into account the type of portrait the family is looking for…something more formal? something casual on the beach?
Below are a few ideas that I put together. The first style set would be great at just about any outdoor location! It is a nice change from the usual white/khaki pairings that have become the norm for outdoor portraits. The second& third style sets might be something that you’d wear on a beach session. Again, if you’re tired of the same ole white/khaki look for beach portraits - try throwing a little blue or yellow in there - after all - you’ll go with the color of the ocean & sand in the background of your images!
All styles can be found at these following locations: (www.gap.com, www.oldnavy.com, or www.belk.com)
