For the whole family:

• Be sure to plan your outfits completely at least a week before your session.
• Choose a palette of 2-4 colors and mix it up, including both pants and dresses. You want a cohesive feel, without being overly ‘matchy-matchy’
• Make sure all clothes are clean, pressed, and on hangers a few days before your session
• Remember, shoes will show in some of the photos and should be clean and stylish! 

Babies and kids:

Choose:

• Accessories that complement the outfit - hats, headbands, shoes, bowties
• Fitted clothes

Avoid:

• Baggy clothes 
• Big logos, busy patterns

Adults:

Choose:

• Clothes that coordinate well with the rest of the group
• Fitted clothing in solid colors, which usually photograph best
• Optional: have hair styled and professional make-up done before the session

Avoid:

• Sleeveless shirts and shorts, as well as short dresses, which are harder to pose in
• Logos and bold patterns
• Sunglasses or transition lenses
• High heels, which may be difficult to walk in during an outdoor session
