I was so excited to have this family session on a farm out East, unfortunately the weather did not hold out for us. I wasn't going to let a little rain get in the way of the session so we headed indoors and found a really pretty spot to finish the session. The little guy is celebrating his second birthday while Mom and Dad are looking forward to the arrival of a new little one. I can't wait to find out if they have a boy or girl!
Family Love- The "S" Family
This is the second time I got to have a session with the "S" family, but this time Dad came along with us. I absolutely love being with this family, they are so fun to be around and always make me laugh. The little guy even asked at bedtime for me to take more pictures of him. We started the location at the same beach that we had a session at last year, and then made a quick pit stop at this really cool barn that we passed, and ended up at the town docks. SO FUN!
Little Miss Molly
Little Miss Molly made her appearance on St. Patrick's Day so I had to use some green during her photo session. I just love the picture of her smiling and the joy you see in her parents' faces from this session.
Little Hockey Fan
I had so much fun thinking about how I was going to create a hockey inspired session for this little boy. I love these adorable skates and helmet that I ordered from etsy. What a cute little baby boy and I loved the sweet images of him and his mommy, daddy and big brother.
What to Wear for your Photo Session
I get this question A LOT, so I thought I should probably address it on my blog. Gone are the days of jeans, barefoot, and a white top for your photo session. Today's trends are colors & patterns, and not being so "matchy, matchy".
So here are some tips and my opinion on what to wear for a photo session.
- Pick 2-4 colors and have everyone wear some variation of those colors.
- Layer different patterns or colors, and use accessories. Maybe mom wears a bright necklace, or your little guy wears a really cool tie.
- Don't wear something you wouldn't normally wear. You won't feel comfortable and you might not love the look on you in a few months. Stick to what you know and like. If you hate your arms, don't wear a sleeveless top.
- If you are trying to coordinate the kids try and shop from one clothing store/designer. Often they have clothes that go together from the same collection.
Here are some examples of families that I have photographed that did a great job of coordinating their clothes.
I love that this family chose navy and yellow, it was so bright and colorful, and the girls' outfits were from Carter's and from the same collection.
This family was doing a session by themselves but also a large group shot. They chose pink as their main color, while her sister's family chose purple and I think they look so great together.
I love that mom was rocking the purple pants, what a great way to pull the color in without having everyone just wearing the same color top.
This family really did a fantastic job of coordinating their colors while not having anyone's looks competing. You can see each family had a different color to work off of, but they all worked so nicely together.
