What to wear...

I've been meaning to post something like this for quite sometime. I always have a lot of clients who ask what to have their kids wear during their km photoshoot. Here are some great ideas for infants, girls, and boys. If you are the type of family that isn't really into mixing and matching, no worries...the basic rule is to wear what you're going to be comfortable in. I know, kind of generic. But the fact is that if you're not comfortable then your pictures will communicate that. With that in mind, here are some suggestions....

When I touch-up images for Art Prints I add effects that really make colors "pop", so bright colors and lots of contrast tend to work best. I love color. Especially when I'm working with children because I think it expresses their vibrant energy best. Accessories like scarves, hats, golashas, mittens, hats, tu-tus, fun shoes, etc. will make their pictures unique...not to mention they will make your kids look even more scrumptiously adorable! However, if you want photos that communicate a calmer mood, then neutral colors (like browns, blacks, etc.) and subtle prints tend to work best. The same principle applies to sessions geared more for headshots, and circumstances when you'd want all of the attention drawn to your face. Hopefully that makes sense.

As far as color goes, keep in mind that light colors tend to enhance size, while dark colors tend to minimize. And lastly, keeping your color palette limited to three or four colors works well.
