This is one of the most frequently asked questions lately…especially since it’s fall and family sessions are so popular this time of year. If you have the same question…here are a few ideas to get you started putting together your “photo wardrobe”! The key is to pick a few colors and build your wardrobe around that color palatte.
Here is an example for a family photo. Mom could throw in some long dangle necklaces, and the son could wear a loose tie.
Another example for a family session…don’t feel like you need to wear muted colors…it’s just what caught my eye yesterday while putting this together. I am more of a bright color person, it’s just that all the stores have these types of colors out right now.
JUST FOR GIRLS!!!
Here are a bunch of fun girl clothes that would be awesome for the fall! Newsboy hats and beanie hats with flowers look great paired with these outfits! You can find those on etsy.com, Target, Children’s Place, etc. More great finds on etsy.com below. Here is an adorable pink hat I bought at Children’s Place. I am loving the Tea Collection! A client of mine introduced me to it…click here for her daughters session. She is wearing clothes from teacollection.com.
JUST FOR BOYS!!!
Here are a few suggestions for boys. Hats and ties always work great for boys too…and they don’t necessarily have to match. Think layers and different color combos:)
I kind of have a thing for these fun/modern/funky ties for little boys right now. Can you tell? My friend Beth has made a bunch for me. Check them out! She is currently making more for the fall. You can email her at tiesbybeth@yahoo.com to order them. I will post her new styles soon.
0-6 month $8
6-12 month $10
12-24 month $12
3T – $14
I am thinking that coordinating ties for siblings would be adorable! She does offer other sizes for older boys and Dad’s…just email her.
My favorite place for fun and unique photo props/attire is etsy.com. All the items are handmade! FYI…handmade items tend to take a little more time, so order these ahead of time!
