What do I wear!?

Ok guys I know no one wants to sit here and read a novel on what to wear.

So I will do my VERY BEST to make this as easy of a read as possible!

I love receiving messages with examples or questions about what you guys think might work!

THE SPECIFICS

1. Neutral Shades - Choose the earthy/muted versions of your favorite colors.

2. Solids are always a win. Include textures like lace, knit, etc. but avoid tiny prints.

3. A few pops of color help ad some brightness to it.

MAKE IT EASIER ON YOURSELF

1. Start with the hardest person to dress, after them it’s easier to get everyone else into their outfits.

2. Complement, Don’t match! Choose a color palette to follow together.

3. Just choose one outfit...save yourself time and frustration, the photos will look amazing without making everyone grumpy.

4. Let your kids help with their own outfits. Anything they don’t want to wear...they won’t end up wearing. So let them be apart of the outfit choice so they can be confident and comfortable!

SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS

1. Shoes! Be comfortable but no athletic shoes or bright white shoes!

2. Weather. Pay attention to how hot or cold it will be so that you aren’t miserable.

3. Be Comfortable! Wear your whole outfit before the shoot! Everyone should be able to sit, walk, squat, lean over. Kids should be able to be tickled, hang upside down, fly in the air.
