No need to rush out and buy everything new, what’s most important is that you are comfortable and your outfits really show off who you are! I’ve also put together a board for inspiration – these all range in different types of photography but you should be able to draw a lot of inspiration and see what catches your eye!

For Outdoor Sessions: (applicable to engagements/family, etc)
Some tips for looking amazing in front of the camera:
-Layers and texture are amazing! Clothes that add movement (like maxi dresses/skirts/shawls, etc) also add that extra special touch.
– Dont wear clothes with words/letters on them. I promise. Just don’t.
-Don’t match – coordinate! Pick 3-5 colors and stay within that for your outfits.
-NO NEON COLORS, they reflect badly!
-The brighter the color, the less there should be of it across the whole family/couple.
-No matchy-matchy outfits! Make sure everyone is uniquely themselves.
-Don’t forget the accessories!
-Make smart footwear choices. Remember: we’re going on an adventure. :) I’d advise strongly against heels!
For Studio Sessions:
Newborns – no need to bring anything for baby unless it’s super specific. I have all the wraps/props/bonnets and headbands for you to choose from. For parent shots/sibling shots with new baby, think SUPER SIMPLE. Plain/neutral colors. Literally can be a t-shirts or tank top. I will send you a whole packet on what to expect and what to bring!
Sitter Sessions – I also have a lot of outfits to choose from, but if you’d like to bring your own, I suggest SUPER SIMPLE. These type of portraits I really want to focus on your babe, so think plain/neutral colored onesies, etc. The CUTEST little plain outfits for 6 month/1 year sessions: https://hellolittle.co/
