KEEP IT SIMPLE:

• solid colors:

  • no prints, no polka dots, no schwag, no large logos, etc.

  • texture like denim or lace are great.

• choose similar tones:

  • all dark colors

  • all light colors

  • don’t mix dark and light colors together

  • yes everyone can choose the same color if that’s easier, but definitely NOT required.

UNFLATTERING:

• no turtlenecks,

• no cap sleeves,

• no strapless tops,

• nothing oversized - this makes even small people look overweight

• nothing too tight

FLATTERING:

• V necks

• sweetheart necklines

• button downs

• polo shirts

• henley’s

WARM IN STUDIO:

• My studio is kept WARM for a newborn session 80+ degrees

• I do not suggest a sweater even in the winter

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE:

• have everyone in the same style

  • all casual or all dressed up but not mixed.

    • for example your husband is wearing a button down, I suggest you wear a dress

NO SHOES:

• I shoot from the waist up in newborn sessions. This is more complimentary to mom who’s just had a baby.

• I am a NO SHOES studio. Please remove your shoes at the door. I have young children who crawl and I aim to keep it clean for them. Also I’m Canadian and wearing your outside shoes inside is just odd to Canadians.

PANTS:

• Yes sometimes I capture the top of pants - especially on young siblings. So ensure they coordinate as well please.

PARENT & SIBLING PROP CLOSET:

• I DO have outfits for children ages 1-10 years old

• I also have shirts sizes S, L, XL for dads

• And dresses for mom’s

• all are complimentary to borrow. I just like to coordinate before your session please so I can ensure one of mine will fit you.

SEND ME PHOTOS OF WHAT YOU ARE WEARING

• I appreciate you sending me photos of what you and your family is wearing prior to the session. This way I can make suggestions.

• You can email or text them. You do not need to be wearing them, it can just be a photo of the shirt etc.
