Of course, I want you to feel beautiful. However, please keep in mind that with the nature of how I shoot, you will be playing with your little one. There will be moments where you are standing, sitting, holding your baby, and quite possibly dancing and chasing. So, please plan accordingly. Wear something that you can move comfortably in and will feel okay sitting on the ground in. If it doesn’t stay put or is too tight or short to get up and down in, please don’t wear it. I would hate for any wardrobe malfunctions to take away from an amazing moment with your child.
AS FOR COLORS & PATTERNS, I CAN OFFER THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS:
Casual clothes at home look the most natural.
Newborns look best in something simple; a white or pastel color onesie that is well-fitting or a cute swaddle blanket generally work best.
I love mixing color and pattern, so don’t be afraid of that.
Super bright red/pink/orange create a weird reflection on skin, so it’s best to avoid wearing shirts in those colors (for pants, skirts and accessories, it is fine).
Accessories look great in photos.
Dress mom first. Put yourself in your favorite thing that makes you feel beautiful, and then coordinate everyone else around you.
Don’t do anything too matchy-matchy. Everyone has a unique personality, and it is great to let that shine in clothing.
Make sure everyone’s clothes fit properly and are comfortable. If your child isn’t comfy, they will totally let us know, and it will show in the photos.
Make sure temporary tattoos, stickers, markers and such have been cleaned from skin. If they are left on, they will be in the final pictures (which is fine by me if you are cool with it). Don’t forget to clean up chipped nail polish, too!
If your daughter is wearing a dress or skirt, please make sure she has on bloomers or shorts underneath.
