Wedding rates and investment

Just a few tips on what to wear for the family photo shoot. Please wear whatever you would like to as the photos are for you – it is just a recommendation!

Here are my top five styling suggestions to help make it easier to coordinate outfits at your next session.

1. Find a focal point – Find one of your favourite pieces of clothing. It can be a top that makes you feel amazing or an adorable little floral print dress for your daughter. Whatever that piece may be, commit to it and work from there. I always suggest finding mom’s outfit first. Take that extra time and I promise it will pay off for pictures


2. Choose a colour scheme – I suggest choosing three main colours to work with. Don’t feel the need to match everyone in white shirts and jeans. We want colours that generally complement each other: so for instance, soft colours (light blue, grey, blush) or warm colours (brown, orange, burgundy). Aim for colours that will work in harmony, such as:

• Earthy pallet colours
• Neutral tones including creams and whites
• Soft pastel tones work beautifully, including dusky pink
• Light blues & any shade/tone of denim also look great

3. Layers on layers – Add a vest, jacket, cardigan, bowtie, hat, scarf, suspenders, belt, jewellery, etc. This also gives the composition much more depth!

4. Textures – It looks great to add textures with sweaters, lace, sheer overlay, embroidery, etc. These types of textures really pick up on the camera as well.

5. What to avoid – You should avoid any clothing with name brands, pictures, or words that can detract from the child and give the photographs a dated look.
