So you've booked a session! I'm so excited, here's what's next.
Time of day
The best light of the day is one hour before and leading into sunset. My best work happens at this time of day. I know it can be tough for little ones, but the 20-30 minutes it will take us is SO worth it!!
What to wear?
Many times clients ask me what to wear to their sessions. Here are my go to quick tips:
- You want to "go together" but you don't want to match.
- Choose shirts and items without large logos
- Wear what you feel the best in, don't dress only to be "on trend." I want you to feel like yourself.
Colors
My style lends itself to softer tones. Cream, ivory, white, blue, soft pinks and neutrals. When choosing colors be aware that greens, yellows and reds will reflect those tones onto your skin tone so stick with very soft versions of those if you'd like to wear them. Light and neutral toned tops and dresses reflect light up to your face which reduces shadows. That's a win for complexion and under eye shadows.
Dressing a Large Group
Neutrals and a few pops of color within the same color palette is the way to go! Mix in different silhouettes and hem lines for variation. Apply the same strategy to the kids. Talk to your siblings and coordinate so you don't find out everyone is wearing a white shirt and jeans the night before!
