What to Wear: Families and Children

You searched and searched and you finally found the perfect photographer. Your session date is set and retainer paid! Then you realized, you have no idea what to wear!

Clothes are an important aspect of your photos, and today I hope I can help you by giving out a few tips on what to wear to your photo session.

Families/Children
-keep it simple
      simple clothing will help to bring out your personal beauty.
-Be comfortable
      Chances are you will moving around a lot and changing positions and  locations during your photo session. Wearing both comfortable clothes and shoes    will make your experience more enjoyable.
-Be yourself
       Wear clothes that represent who you are! When you look back at your photos you want to look back and remember who you were at that time!
-Prepare you outfit(s) of choice the night before
         Make sure your clothes are ironed and fit properly the night before. For little ones bring a couple extra outfits just in case of stains or accidents.


So as you can see choosing your outfit for your photo shoot shouldn't be to hard! Be yourself, be comfortable and be prepared! If in doubt ask your photographer for pointers!

A Joy to Photograph!

This beautiful young lady was such a joy to photograph! Photographing adults can be exciting and different. You have different challenges that you must conquer to get that perfect shot.

But as a photographer I am always up to a good challenge! 

You may ask what kind of challenge I had with this beautiful young lady? Often times in adults the main challenge is getting the real and relaxed smile. We all have those photographs were we are saying "cheese", but what is the fun in that? My goal as a photographer is to make sure that each photo represents who you are as a person, to show your true self and to most importantly show case your beautiful smile! In this young lady's case it was very easy!

Look Who Is Four!!

I had the wonderful honor of photographing four year old Payton. 


Payton was such a doll to work with! And her smile was to die for. Photographing children is always so much fun, not only dose it give you permission to be a little silly, but you can almost get away acting like a child yourself. 

There are many challenges when working with little ones, but I find with great patience  good jokes, and maybe a little bit of bribery the photo session can end in all smiles for all involved!

Thank You Ms. Payton for being such a sweet little girl and allowing me to capture your special day!!
